Is it the insane amount of games (likely the most or top 5 from since the lockout for a goalie) that makes it so clear that he struggled with fitness? or the lack of injuries? the lack of a need to take games off perhaps is what made it so clear.

And nothing says lazy like a goalie consistently playing 70+ games and never complains. That lazy bum should be playing 82 games and asking to fill in on the farm when the Flames are off.
