Back in training camp, things seemed so simple. The Flames had two shiny new goaltenders coming into the organization after last season’s debacle and things were looking up.
Brian Elliott and Chad Johnson were to be two solid goaltenders that could steal games for the team, and help get the Flames over the hump. Elliott was the undoubted #1 goalie, with Johnson to serve as his backup.
Then the season began.
The Flames opened with two poor performances from Elliott where he allowed nine goals in the two games on a total of 55 shots.
