When Kiprusoff let in stinkers, it was a sign he was tired and overworked.
The man played 70+ games for seven straight years (74, 74, 76, 76, 73, 71, 70)
He won 30+ games seven straight years.
He won 40+ games three times.
In five of eight seasons, his save % was over .917, and in four of those it was .920 or better.
Between 2004 and 2012, his GAA was sub-2.50 five times, and sub-2.40 three times.
How they never managed to find this man his Jake Allen is nearly as egregious an error as whiffing on the Thornton acquisition.
It was a treat to watch him every night.
