Actually it was Kipper, at the Kilt, saying he was so burned out to be competitive any more, but he was too competitve to give up the net. Mentally burned out, which was wearing on him physically. True story. Narrative and all.

1) I myself was watching. STH, was there a lot
2) never heard the goalie or the coaches blame goalie fatigue
3) The stats don’t bear it out
4) The narrative doesn’t bear it out
Look at how the Flames actually exited the playoffs.
Game 7 vs Anaheim, team was horribly flat and deserved to lose
Detroit, Kipper stood on his head and kept them in a series in which they were dominated.
Keenan’s last year, vs Chicago, the team was decimated by injuries and limped in to the playoffs. Langkow played with broken hands, Phaneuf broken ribs, Regehr and Gio didn’t play but Pardy, Vanderneer and Eriksson did. Nothing to do with Kipper burning out.[/QUOTE]
