Could Dan Vladar already be Brad Treliving’s best backup?
Friends, the Calgary Flames used to have a goaltending problem. The problem was that after Miikka Kiprusoff retired, they couldn’t find a starting goaltender that was particularly good. That problem was effectively solved when Jacob Markström signed prior to the 2020-21 season – he’s been excellent to start the 2021-22 season – and it appears that the secondary problem, finding a reliable backup goalie, may have been solved, too.
It’s quite early, but it really seems like Dan Vladar could be the best Flames backup netminder since Brad Treliving came to town.
