The funny thing is that we used to blame the goaltender at the time but if you look back the Flames played horribly whenever they put the backup in net. McBackup was great in the AHL, had a very solid NHL career and was fortunate to get chances with teams that weren't as mentally fragile as the Flames that seemed to wilt anytime Kipper wasn't in net.
