December 10th, 2019 Over the course of nine seasons with the Calgary Flames, Miikka Kiprusoff was a steady and reliable goaltender; a talent that has been unseen in Calgary since his retirement in 2013.

Top 10 Flames Goalies of All-Time

January 27th, 2017 Chad Johnson and Brian Elliott would probably testify that it isn't easy to be a goalie for the Calgary Flames. After all, only nine goalies have played more than 100 games for the Flames since they came to Calgary in 1980 and the team has missed the playoffs in 14 of the 36 seasons they have been in the NHL.
