He's not a terrible goaltender but he's so mediocre that he's deep in a pool full of mediocre to average goaltenders that teams can pick and choose from when they need to find a stop gap in their AHL or ECHL organizations.

Yes. He had a very good AHL season but even that season was not "dominating" in comparison to several other AHL goalies. He was the best goalie prospect we had so fair to be excited about him. But almost every team has one just like him. And a lack of consistency even in the AHL really hurt him. BT's fear of losing him on waivers at start of season was unfounded.

It's basically a Flames version of the mask he wore with Buffalo last season.

I don't like it much. Too much gleam/shine on the silver edges.

I really dislike how the C's open up towards different ends of the mask. Obviously, if they both faced the same way, they wouldn't both be c's, but it still bugs me.

Maybe it is just the photo. But it looks unfinished, pretty sloppy.

Flames sign Chad Johnson (1 yr, $1.7 mil AAV)
I don't like all the red logos pasted throughout

All I can get
|
It's a mask that protects his face so he doesn't get maimed and one that he can clearly see out of.
No points for fashion.

Not enough skulls!!!?!!
J/k I'm okay with simple designs -- ones you can actually see from afar (credit to Ken Dryden and his Habs target mask)

That mask would go so good with the horse head jersey.
