There hasn't been a single goaltender in the Sigalet / Labarbra era that has improved with the Flames. Even the goalie prospects Sigalet coached in the AHL that were highly toted became busts. Some of it is that the goalies weren't that good but its hard to see either of these two as being a net positive when there isn't a single successful goalie between the two of them...
The Flames finally get a good goalie that we know has had success in the past and he gets worse just like the everyone else. Is every goalie the Flames acquire or draft just head cases? Or is the goalie coaching team just not that good... If Daryl can make a big impact on the team as a whole, so can a good goalie coach. Maybe Labarabra and Sigalet are the Jeff Ward and Glue Gun of goalie coaching... Flames are on the hook for 6 mill, might as well change the coaching team first and see if it helps.
