As for more wins I can't think of a game they lost due to goaltending this year. Sure Taylor and Macdonald have been awful but in most of those games the Flames offensively were pathetic as well and would have lost anyways.
The team is in the position they are because of overall crap play and lack of talent, not just because of the goaltending.

There is a lot of blame to go around as Kipper was definately the reason the Flames lost at home in game five against the Avalanche. Also he was also a major contributor in the game two of the season loss against the Ducks. Goaltending has been as bad as it's been since pre-Kipper Calgary Flames so I don't think the goaltenders come out of this mess clean as they are part of the problem as much as the poor defensive zone play. Each goaltender has had a moment or two when they have looked good but for the most part none of them have been able to close the door on opponents on a consistent basis.
