I think his performance was pretty consistent actually, he just got the short end of the stick with team efforts and back-to-back games early which gave him a bad record. In fact out of his losses, he probably deserves more blame in the 2nd half compared to the first.
Oct/Nov/Dec: 3-7-0, .915
Flames scored 0 or 1 goal in 5 of the 7 losses.
B2B losses in SJ/WSH/VGS/MIN, also lost to WSH/DAL/PIT.
Jan/Feb/Mar: 9-3-1, .923
Flames scored 3 or 4 goals in 3 of the 4 losses.
His worst effort was that shootout loss to STL in January.
