Markstrom is the best goalie we've had since Kipper. But, it's also been 3 games, there is no way Markstrom in 3 games is the best one for the franchise over Kipper. This is something that should be talked about a couple seasons in at least

My question is not the best goaltender in Calgary franchise of course marky has been to short time for that.Just a comparison Markstrom today and Mikka when he played for Calgary.

Can say for myself its very close comparison between them two.

following Markstrom since 2008 and kipper since his days in AIK in sweden both are quite different goalies and late bloomers both of them.

So after 3 games, you can say markstrom is better than kipper ever was?...lol

 

[crackdown44]

Kipper carried sub par teams for so many years while hacking darts between periods. This is insulting

This is Markstrom whole career so far obviously vs peak kipper maybe easier to understand i change it in my first post

It’s Kipper.... let’s see what kind of legacy Markstrom can carve out for himself now that he is here though.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

were you around for the kipper days?

 

[Ainsy01]

Wow, this is ridiculous

 

[DCDM]

It's Kipper and it's not even close

 

[TheHudlinator]

Kipper all day every day

 

[FLAMESFAN]

were you around for the kipper days?

No kidding, this isn't close

Peak Kipper was likely the best goalie on the planet, The Cup run followed by the World Cup where Finland was completely outplayed/shot and Kipper kept winning games.

But I have liked Markstrom so far

Kipper's 1.69(nice) GAA in 2003-04 was the best any goalie had put up since like the 30s. On a team that was giving Rhett Warrener 20 minutes a night. He was incredible. Markstrom has a ways to go before he's in the same sentence.

Prime Kipper is one of the all time greats. The issue was his prime wasn't that long and wasn't well utilized by our GMs/coaches.

Prime Kipper was the type of guy you'd hang out to dry and you'd return to him on his head still sopping wet while doing a rinse cycle.

Markstrom is awesome so far, but not even in the same stratosphere to prime Kipper. I'd maybe compare what I've seen of him so far to Kipper's final years in Calgary where he could no longer carry the abysmal teams being iced in front of him. When Kipper retired, I think he was still of the calibre where he'd still put up slightly below average SV% in the league today. He still had a bit of fuel in the tank.

Kipper also played like 70+ games a year

 

[Mobiandi]

Kipper could've played for another few years if we found a backup who could keep his head above water. The best we could muster up for him after Turek left were the corpses of Vesa Toskala and Curtis Joseph who couldn't have combined for more than 15 games here

Still have no idea how Curtis McElhinney became a respectable back-up. He was one of the worst goalies I'd ever seen when he was here.

I accidentally clicked on markstrom but i certainly didn't mean it. But I hope Markstrom can enter this conversation properly over time.

 

[Corpus X]

I mean Kipper retired a while back but...

 

[TkachuksMouthguard]

Markstrom easily. He has only let in 5 goals in his entire Flames career, versus hundreds by Kipper. No contest.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Kipper AINEC. Not many goalies have dominated like Kipper did from 04-06. Not to mention the guy was an absolute workhorse. I love Markstrom so far but even just looking at his pre-Calgary career it's not even remotely close.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Kipper has 300 wins in a Flames jersey

 

[1989]

Good old "Swede vs Finn" homerism, never change.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Kipper then, Markstrom now.

 

[Rubi]

I think this poll is a touch premature.
