Macdonals has been good. Not great. I find with my limited viewing of him is that consistency is some what a problem. I also find he has poor rebound control. He will make the first save but you better hope our D is the first one to the rebound.(Without kicking it into our own net) He played a great game against the wild and an okay game against phoenix. I think to have a shot of making the playoffs we absolutely need kipper, and kipper at his best. If we look at last nights 5-4 win. Its not too often were going to tie the game up and then take the lead with under 2 minutes in the 3rd. With Kipper in net at his finest he probably would have controlled more rebounds and maybe not let in two of the goals Macdonald did. We would of been able to win the game 3-2 ( the score after 2) instead of 5-4 which is how we are going to have to win games down the road because quite simply we can't expect the flames to score five goals every night.
