I agree.
He had a rough start to the 2003-2004 season, got injured, was demoted mid-season, then came back and stepped in when Kipprusoff was injured later that year. He got some key wins and had some very respectable numbers to keep the Flames in the playoff hunt.
Given that was our most successful season in 31 years, and it wouldn't have been possible without him, my vote goes his way.
