So, regardless of what happens year I am not especially worked up about the Flames goalies. There is a bigger picture here.

At 26 he has a bright future. Peters and Treliving have done the best they can, for what could have been a disaster in net. This season still has the potential to be special. But I agree, its all about the long term with a young team like this. My hopes is that for the next 5 years the Flames are a mainstay at the top of the standings. To achieve that, they need to make prudent decisions, I think that one of them is not pressing the panic button when the team faces adversity.
