I would propose that the answer to all three questions is probably "no".

If non-routine shots mean have they been allowing a lot of quality scoring chances I would say the answer is yes to number 3.
But I agree with the first two and did say that Kipper hasn't been good this year. But as alarming if not moreso is how bad the Flames defensive play has been this year because that is a team wide issue rather than one individual struggling. It seems more likely that Kipper turns it around than everybody on the team all improving.
