Three weeks later, Kipper is 6-1 with a 1.71 GAA and 0.928 S%
My favourite earlier memory is from his first game when whoever was doing colour for us (I want to say Ryan Walter?) called him Kippa Mikrusoff on more than one occasion.

Well to be fair 2 things. No one foresaw Kipper being this good. Darryl even admitted he didn't either. Also, we all know Dowbiggin is an idiot, very little question there.
My favorite media hate was Game 1 in Vancouver 2004. Kipper just let in his first or second goal, and the CBC Canuck homers pipe up "There is playoff inexperience right there!" They had mentioned it at the beginning of the game, and you could just tell they were waiting to drop it.
Never forgot that line. That to me shows how little these media guys know, and how little we should get worked up by them.
