I don't know about that. Looking at all their numbers, both goalies are pretty even. I suspect that people are much more keen to give Vladar the benefit-of-the-doubt. Fans by-and-large seem to have a higher affinity for back-up goalies; Vladar is young and improving, and a lot of Flames fans are eager to see him succeed. This all plays into shaping our perspectives of him.
Most of the time, I really don't think one or the other goalie gives the Flames the best chance to win. They have been playing pretty even for a while now.
