You can't place all the blame on kipper. You still have to consider the 20+ shots in the second period alone. I see the goal tender to be a backup. If the offense fails at keeping the puck out of their zone, and the defence fails to stop the rush then its up to the goal tender to make the save. I have to agree that a few of the goals tonight were weak on kippers part, but even though the second goal was very slow and slid right in, where were the rest of the 5 players when that puck was travelling .05mph down the ice? You mean to tell me nobody could get to it either? Calgary also had a problem with staying out of the box. Two of the 5 goals were let in during a powerplay. Also, they couldn't seem to control the puck when they had the 1 man advantage. Even during the final minutes when the goal tender was pulled they had a 1 man advantage and still couldn't seem to get a shot off. Could they of played the way they did in game 6 im sure they could of taken the win.
44-21 shots was defently not just a "goal tender" problem.
