Those old enough will remember Turek letting in one early against Tampa in the 2004 regular season in Jan or Feb. He got stupidly booed on every goal after, including a Tampa 2 on 0 breakaway and a 3 on 1, as the Flames got trounced.
Sutter never played him at home again,until he came in for mop up duty in Game 4 vs SJ as the Flames were losing big going into the third, and, the next game 5 was the next day back in SJ.
He did play on the road in the regular season and had a huge few games, one in particular vs Vancouver which was the game before the Flames clinched the playoffs at home. And then Sutter and he agreed to redo his contract to extend it another year past the one hat was left, but the lockout took care of that and Turek moved on.
Parallels with Elliott, who didn't get nearly the credit for his stellar play down the stretch to get the Flames in,or in game 1 or 2 of the series to keep the Flames within one goal those games.
But, like Turek, the mob has likely somewhat unfairly spoken and given his contract, he won't get the cooling off period that Turek had as backup for Kipper in winter and spring 2004, so Elliott is likely one and done. Johnson will likely stick around being a Calgary fu.
Flames took Kipper far too for granted overall for his demeanor and just solid play on those tough saves he made look easy and didn't even get credit for from fans.
