That has exactly nothing to do with anything. When the guy can't catch a puck from a simple wrist shot without a screen on multiple occasions, there's something wrong with the goalie.
The manner in which he's having difficulties are more than just rust, there was 5 pucks tonight that he got just enough of to send it just wide barely in addition to the stinkers that he let in. When you're looking at only stopping 1/2 the shots cleanishly, and the other half are lucky they didn't go in or they go in, you're not doing well at all. It's probably the worst performances I've seen in the Flames net since Dany Sabourin, who if you raised the puck over his pads it'd go in.
