You can say he hasn't improved visually or whatever. But the statistics back the claim that he's been better. The Flames just need to pick the right spots and not start him against the freaking Capitals.

No, they don't.
He had a good six game stretch from November 25th to December 8th. However in his last seven games since he has a SV% of .714, .889, .906, .808, .957, .886, .900. Now which would you define as lately? Three months ago or the last two months?
That six game stretch was awesome but it's obvious that wasn't the norm and his numbers since returning from injury a calendar year ago has been abysmal. Lately he's been ####. Two and a half months ago for six games? Great though!
Hanging onto "lately" is a fool's errand.
