And, as this first game has clearly demonstrated, Kipper owns Nabokov. Not even close in terms of skill level.

right, one game decides everything right? you're full of ****

How about a full season of games, where Kipper also clearly demonstrated superiority?

[Lawrence of Arabia]

so thats why the sharks are the 2 seed and the cgy is the 6th.

There's more to a team than goalies, plus Kipper only joined the team in late November, and missed over a month due to injury (where about 12 of the flames losses occured alone...)

If we're going to play it that way, look at it as the Flames being so good right now that the only team that lead a division in the Western Conference that they haven't knocked out is the sharks. And they're next.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

so then its not a full season of games if joined in late november and missed over a month due to injury

[Asher]

You're right, it's not. Nabokov had more of a chance than Kipper did, especially not having to bounce back from an injury.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

so then nabokov also faced more shots, and stronger opponents which is why his save percentage would be lower.

Asher: I know you love Kippy, but consider that Khabibulan looked invincible with a <1.00 GAA and a Save % of something like .985. But not anymore. Same thing could happen to Kippy.

The Flyers victory over Tampa last night shows they deserve all the credit for taking down the Leafs. A lot of people have said the Leafs sucked when the reality is that they were good, but the Flyers were simply better and potentially better than Tampa. Of course the Flyers will crash in the next game.

We should be so lucky -- whenever Kipper lets four or more goals in for a single game, the next three games he only lets one in.

Kipper is good . .. very very good---he had an amazing season despite his injury time-- I expect the flames to take the sharks down in 6

This about sums it up:

Vinnie Paul (of Damage Plan, formerly of Pantera) in an interview this morning with the Calgary Herald:

Now that my Dallas Stars are out, I'm pulling for your Calgary Flames, man. They're looking tough. I'm a big fan of Iginla and that (expletive) goalie is a mother (expletive).

[Lawrence of Arabia]

wow - i am one shellshocked fan. and its the end of the first.

how about this - your team isn't going to the Stanley Cup finals this year.
