The first ever Flames game played in a world without Jimmy Carter. Unfathomable.

A back-to-back road game against Vegas is a probably loss, but I wouldn't pin that on Vladar. It's because the Flames are a mediocre team and Vegas is a good team and back-to-back road games are tough in general. They seem to put Vladar out there in most games that are probable scheduled losses, so it isn't a surprise that his personal stats reflect that. Despite that, he still has a 0.500 win-loss record.

I'm not pinning anything on him unless it's deserved. I hope he does well, I'm a Flames fan. Love for him to steal a win tonight.

But if you look at the fancy stats like goals saved above expected and gsae/60 minutes he is clearly a step below Wolf, and most goalies. He is what he is.....he's not terrible but he is a replaceable backup. Hopefully he plays well tonight.

He was still alive? I thought he died like 20 years ago.
