Every year, the Calgary Flames goaltending seems to be one of the biggest stories. The Flames have not had a consistent goaltender since Miikka Kiprusoff, basically. They had the whole Jonas Hiller and Karri Ramo situation. And last year when they finally got what seemed to be a great, solid goaltender with Brian Elliott, that somewhat turned into a bust.
Elliott seemed to be one of the more underrated goalies in the league. He was second in save-percentage in the last five years – just after Cory Schneider.
