Miikka Kiprusoff deserves a boat-load of credit, making 37 saves on 39 total shots on goal to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory in the first game of the playoff series with the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks have skaters and shooters and the Flames, considered heavy underdogs, will need a top performance from this goalie to have a shot. Tonight, he came up huge.

February 25, 2008
Miikka Kiprusoff was named the NHL's second star for the week ending February 24th, according to a report in NHL.com. Miikka was 3-0 with a 0.67 GAA, one shutout and a .980 save percentage. This is the goalie that was drafted in the first round in most league's this year. Kipper still has 32 victories on the year, but his .903 save percentage is decidedly sub par for one of the league's best, so hopefully he will be able to ride this recent wave of success through the remainder of the regular season.

February 23, 2008
Miikka Kiprusoff had his first shutout of the year as he stopped all 38 shots that the Red Wings threw at him on Friday night. This is the the Kipper that has been MIA most of the year. After 17 shutouts the past two years it's simply amazing that it took him 59 outings this year to garner his first bagel of the year.

February 17, 2008
Miikka Kiprusoff was shelled for four goals on 26 shots on Sunday night as he was lifted for Curtis Joseph after two periods of action. Given the fact that Kipper allowed six goals on 25 shots on Friday night, it's safe to say that he is in a pretty major mini-slump. For what it's worth, Kipper has seen his GAA go up the past three years while his SV% has gone down, and those aren't the kind of trends we like to see.
