He was as elite as it gets. So too was Iggy.
No one else was, and therein lay the rub.

He wasn’t “as elite as it gets”. That’s Hasek, followed by Brodeur/Roy. Kipper was great but the fact that Sutter never got him a decent backup is why he started so much. I never considered his start numbers as a reason he was a great goalie. I put him Kipper a zone with with Luongo, MAF, Rask, etc.
