Unconcerned, the man has been a rock for a decade here. In 2007 he was supposedly done and then again 2009 and 2010. Plus, there's always some schmuk that signs up on here to proclaim the end of Kirpusoff and he's always been the last person to worry about.
The Flames get that power play goal late in the third or maybe Backlund at least hits the net on one of his 3 clear cut chances in the third and the Flames win and his bad deal is overshadowed by poor attention to detail by the Flames.

So basically, unless the Flames play perfect defence and the pucks hit him the crest, or the Flames bury every single one of their chances, one of the highest paid goalies in the league shouldn't be expected to make a save....... right
I don't know what decade of hockey you've been watching, but for the past 10 years Kipper has been above average for 3 maybe 4 seasons. The remainder he's been average with a few stinkers.
