The only problem I see with looking solely at shots against stats is that it ignores how many of those shots have come from guys standing alone in the slot with nobody around them.
The Flames may be good at limiting shots this year (helps when teams take periods off against them) but they are awful at covering the opposition in their own zone and have left guys wide open in prime scoring areas far too much this year.
Kipper hasn't been great but he also hasn't been getting a ton of help from his team as well.

I know they say the Back-up goalie is usually the most popular guy on the team but now it seems the crappy minor league goalies get that title.
There is a good reason these guys aren't in the NHL and two of them have contracts with exactly 0 NHL teams despite all having a long history to show teams their "talents."
