I don't think goaltender statistics have plummeted around the Flames though?
Smith had a .916% his first season here.
Rittich has been .911% and .907%
Talbot was .919%
Ramo was .912%, .911%, and .909%
Hiller was .918%
Elliot was .910%
Given the pedigree of these goalies and the teams they played behind I don't think we could have expected much better than those numbers to be honest.
