Just a guess based on the big point year and the fact they both had their stretches (Smith in spite of himself sometimes though).

Who holds the Flames record for points in a season?

Kent Nilsson, I believe. The team's first year in Calgary, IIRC.




----------

Miikka Kiprusoff had 305 regular season wins with the Flames. What was the total number of wins accumulated by every other Flames goalie during Kipper's time with the team?


Also...

In the playoffs, Kipper had a total of 24 wins as a Flame. During his time with the team, only one other goalie was credited with a playoff win for the Flames. Name that goalie, and what else was memorable about the game in question?

Was it Curtis Joseph? We were down 4-0 as well?

I have a fun one if we aren't using Google... How many goaltenders have started for the Flames since Miikka Kiprusoff retired in 2013?

“Started” a game? Or “started” as in number one goalie as some would say here? I’ll assume the first one:

Ramo, Berra, Hiller, Ortio, Elliott, the Chad, Rittich, Gillies, Smith, Talbot - those are the obvious ones.

I’m sure I’m missing a couple in the first year or two.

ETA: If you look at it, all but Gillies and maybe Berra were called the de facto number one by at least a few posters here. Including Ortio and Johnston.

So close, missing 3. 1 kinda obvious one (although it was killing me looking at your list so I had to google it)

Joey Mac is in there. Irving? Danny Taylor?

Joey MAC is right. Taylor played in kippers final season.

[TheScorpion]

Hmmmm two more eh?

Eddie Lack is one. Still can't quite place my finger on the other one.

Edit: jeez, how could I forget the guy traded for David Jones? Nik Backstrom, of course.

[GioforPM]
