Nobody talks about them because they don't happen. What they talk about is the brutal turnovers in his own end that lead to goals against because it happens on a nightly basis. In a season where the Flames goalie is having a borderline Vezina season and he plays with an excellent defensive partner he is a -9. Over the past two years he is -25. He skates really well and he can make a good outlet pass but he is a nightmare in his own zone and under pressure makes very bad decisions with the puck. To say otherwise is pure denial.
