Goodness. Step back, man. Think about what you are saying. Watch the Flames and think about what you are doing. Blaming Kipper for a deflection off a skate. Deflections go in all the time and saves are often a function of positioning. You are actually suggesting a backdoor tapin by a guy who breezed through the crease to establish position without Bouw flinching is on Kipper.

You're always the one criticizing these studies (which is fair), but you love to throw out baseless claims about what other goalie's save% would be under the Flames system (ie; Patrick Roy in his prime would be below .900) without anything to back it up. You can't have it both ways.
Kipper clearly has been brutal this year. Our defense is terrible, but it would have to be historically bad to be the only reason our goalies combined save% is so low. It's not one or the other - our high GA is truly the sum of the parts. Kipper and the team defense have both not been nearly good enough.
