Give the guy a break or be proven wrong when Kipper returns to form.

The problem is that there are only 24 games left in the season and Kiprusoff looks like his timing is off. Usually in the past when this has happened, it takes him about 6-9 games to regain his form entirely. If you shave off 6 more games, it's almost a virtual guarantee that the Flames miss the playoffs if they aren't already in that boat.
