We can barely work a rookie into starts in the face of poor #1a/b goaltending on a 6-12-1 team.

I don't know how one can get the stat, but I'd be curious to know what the average age of a goalie is when they become a consistent #1.
I suspect mid 20s?
I think time is on the Flames' side here.
Look to St. Loo for how they've managed Allen. I think that's the new model.
