"Long before his was the first name called as part of the starting lineup introductions, it was obvious all eyes would be on Miikka Kiprusoff last night.

However, just six minutes in, all eyes quickly shifted to the Flames bench, looking to see if Henrik Karlsson would be summoned to try cleaning up Kipper's mess for the third time in eight days.

Yes, it was another bad start by the struggling veteran, leading to yet another Flames loss.

For those keeping score at home that's his third poor start in his last four outings, ending in another defeat.

The fact that he wasn't pulled doesn't mean he's making any progress."
