No way do the Flames have a goalie with 0 pro games backup games 1,2 & 3 of the playoffs.
If they do announce the signing in the next couple of days it means he is going to Adirondack.

I thought emergency recalls only affected the regular season?
In any case, couldn't the Flames just scratch Gillies until the AHL season is over, kind of like what they did for the Jets game?
