Was .926 in the AHL when Sigalet was there though. Once Sigalet moved up to the NHL (the next season) he dropped to .912 in the AHL (which was the same season he had his best six games in the NHL, with Sigalet).

You can make the same argument the other way.
Ortio had only one full season with Sigalet in Abottsford which was his really good year. So it's pretty easy to just as easily say is that his career trajectory went downhill as soon as Sigalet got involved. Ortio also seems to have had himself quite a great year over in Sweden this year as well (granted it's not the NHL).
Same argument can be said for Ramo and Hiller. Came here and played decent and started to decline under Sigalet's watch.
The fact of the matter is, goaltending is a huge weakness with the Flames, and the goaltending coach has to be held responsible for that. Time for Sigalet to find a new job. I don't think he's the biggest problem (quality of the players is), but he has to wear the horns.
