Kipper has the skill set and resume to back up the fact that he is a top 15 goalie in this league. You can't solely look at 6 freakin games.
You calling him the worst goalie is truly an ignorant statement. There isn't a GM, coach, analyst or whatever that would call Kipper the worst.
Give your head a shake. I'm done with this.

You could look at the last 5-seasons before this one and see that he was the bottom 5 in SV% leaders for three of those seasons.
The bottom line was he was crap in both seasons under Keenan and nearly crap in one season under Sutter. He was merely above average his first season under Sutter. He was great last season. Really great. But that doesn't mean he is a still a great goalie or that he will be play great this season.
