Kiprusoff hasn't had a good year. He's been on a garbage team. He's been on garbage teams for three years. He's prevented garbage teams from being lottery teams for two years.

The goals he's letting in are going in because he is mentally fried from being thrown to wolves every night, and playing in an environment where he feels he has to be letter perfect or his godawful team has no hope in hell of winning. If he is given ANY ray of hope, he is going to return to form. Goaltending is a mental game; his reflexes are fine. He's FAR from done.
Bit of a difference between a .910 sv% and the .873 sv% Kipper has this year...
