Calgary Flames: Why Don’t They Ever Have Luck With Goaltenders?

Calgary Flames fans definitely remember Mr. Miikka Kiprusoff, who retired from the NHL after the 2012-2013 season. The Flames made playoffs in the 2003-2004 season for the first time in eight years and that was also the season they got Kiprusoff. A large part of their playoff run, and the first time they made the Stanley Cup Finals since 1989, was because of Kiprusoff. After that season, he became the the Flames #1 goaltender.

The Flames were a team that struggled. In the years Kip played with them, except for that cup run in 04, they made playoffs four other times.
