You are playing the opposing fan contrarian role and that's fine but the head coach clearly didn't get along with the player in Carolina and that's just not a good situation for any goaltender to be in and I'm expecting him to be better behind a better team. Again my expectations aren't high but I feel he can meet or exceed Johnson's numbers last season. If either of the Alberta starters go down I would rather go with Lack than Brossoit for an extended period of time. Besides the Flames don't rely on goaltending to win games nearly as much as the Oilers as only two wins separated the teams with the Oilers needing Talbot to stand on his head most nights while the Flames won games to spite their goaltending on a lot of nights.
