The Flames goaltending this year has been garbage. How many times has a goaltender ‘stolen’ a game?

There have definitely been defensive breakdowns, but every team has those. Good goalies help their teams overcome those breakdowns. The Flames’ goalies this year have not.

How many games can you point to this season and say the Flames had a better goaltending performance than their opponent? It should be at least half the games, but the Flames aren’t close to that this season.

The Flames don’t have the worst goaltending in the league, but they’re bottom-10 for sure, which is unacceptable given what the starter makes. In my opinion it’s the biggest problem with the team. You don’t win a Cup with goaltending like this.
