You must be new here.

Reimer will likely see 35-40 games
If you don’t get that joke, more likely that you skipped forward from June 2017 to present.
Antii looks horrid, for a while now
He did record a .929 save% in 19 games infront of a horrible team in Montreal last season.I know, we're screwed.

Hes not getting ahead of Hellebuyck on the Jets.Have a feeling Brossoit will become good enough to be a starter come this season.

He had an OKAY game last night but he had an AHL team in front of him and Winnipeg had 3/4 of their regular lineup in. To be honest, he looks like Gustavsson did when he came here. Hopefully it's just speed and size adjustment that he can work out before the end of camp because otherwise the Oil are doomed if Talbot poops the bed again.Mikko Koskinen should be able to challenge Talbot for the starting position.
I'll defend Ramo and Ortio here. They played on a terrible team with a terrible D. Everyone raves about how great those years of Calgary D were but statistically they really sucked and it showed in how they kept killing every goalie that came in. Smith has been the only exception and Johnson for a short while. Their D is much better this year but the other guys are not getting any better, they are getting older. I say SLIGHT improvement for Calgary D by the numbers. I know you'll all think I'm an idiot but I don't really care. It's easily the most over-rated D in the league and I like the additions but the other guys are that were becoming suspect like Giordano are still there. Yes Giordano. Watch him for 20 games. He's starting to show his age big time.To add to this, Karri Ramo when he came back over had nearly as good stats over the three years before coming back and better numbers overall over that three year span than Koskinen has had in the past three. And Ramo while good, was a 1A/1B guy depending on the day.
So while Koskinen absolutely could become a full time starter, I'd like to see how it plays out over time.
That's exactly how he's looked so far in camp. I hated this signing by Chia. Go get a real guy like Khudobin. It's not like it costs a lot to get them.Koskinen isn't that good. I watched him play a number of times with SKA. No mobility and gives up a lot of soft goals.
He was the second best goalie on his KHL team for two years.
I’d be happy if the Flames had a backup goaltender ready to be a backup goaltender.
