I don't think they're the problem but certainly part of the problem. Kiprusoff less so as he's been the Flames best player for years and generally does his job, which is to stop the puck and give the team a chance to win. Albeit, his start to this season has been bad and he's cost the team some points. But historically, other than small stretches, Kiprusoff hasn't been holding back this team.
Iginla is a bit of a different issue. He was clearly the team's leader and best skater for over a decade. I agree that he is in fantastic physical condition. However, I'm not comfortable with the comparison to Selanne. Yes, they're both aging but Selanne's game and skill-set is much different to Iginla's and frankly, it translates better to the post 2005 lockout NHL. Iginla is less and less of a force on the ice and more and more a situational player, similar to a guy like Brett Hull. Don't get me wrong, he's very effective at what he does (shoot the puck) but he's not that great at much else anymore (other than the occasional scrap). He is no longer that guy that stirs the drink and the team needs a real offensive leader. Iginla should be a high-level complimentary player now, rather than the go-to guy. Nevermind that he has ignored the defensive side to some degree for several years and, as leader, likely set a bad example for the other players in the organization.
So, I agree that Kiprusoff isn't the problem but I think Iginla's current role on the team is kind of a problem.
