Vladar is such an enigma because within the context of the games when the flames were often much looser playing in front of him against some good opponents, he really stood his ground at times. But it was rarely reflected in the actual numbers since he was often hung out to dry.
He did have a number of solid outings down the stretch too, which balanced out a tough start.
Flames were a different team in front of Vlad than Wolf so his games were a different beast and he usually rose to the occasion.
And if he did have a stinker period he would bounce back with a solid one. Resilient goalie, and a good backup. I wouldnt have him as more than that though.
