Let’s be honest and upfront: there are MANY reasons why the Calgary Flames will be going on summer vacation in 7 games. There isn’t just one reason to pinpoint for the the lack of spring hockey in Alberta, there’s a lot of them. Coaching. The abysmal (my favourite adjective) Power Play. The inability to score goals. Calgary’s horrendous home record. The list goes on and on and on, but the one at the top of the list lately and when the Flames needed it the most, has been their goaltending. When Calgary needed anyone wearing a set of pads and a mask to steal them some wins to sneak them into the post season, they didn’t.
What Happened To The Goaltending?
