If the expectation is that he stand on his head, then I suggest that we're back to the same old problem with this team: they're not good enough to win unless the goalie (Kipper / whoever) plays out of his mind. The fix isn't to bring in another goalie and make impossible demands of him.

If you're flames management though, that is the fix exactly.
