Last year, after our humiliating sweep at the hands of the Ducks, I put together a post that analyzed who was at fault for the Flames for each goal against.
Results?
Off the top of my head Bartkowski was on the ice for like 80% of the goals against, and made a play (or failed to make one) that directly resulted in the Ducks scoring on the vast majority of those goals.
He can literally cost you a game single handed. There is zero justification for playing him over Kulak, unless Kulak is injured. And even then, I'd be more tempted to go with 5 defense men.
