How was kip a far superior playoff performer? He went past the 1st round exactly once in his career.Kiprusoff's prime didn't last for that long but he truly was epic at the time. He also was the far superior playoff performer.
Look at the team he carried to a cup (it was in). His prime was unbelievable.How was kip a far superior playoff performer? He went past the 1st round exactly once in his career.
A lot of teams that didn't look good on paper did well in the dead puck era.Lock it up, Kipper ainec.

The question was peak, not resume.A lot of teams that didn't look good on paper did well in the dead puck era.
Kip beat the sharks in the conference finals that one run he made it past the first round. The sharks top scorer was a 57 point patrick Marleau.
And a 55 point nils Ekman.
That year aside, after his team couldn't clutch and grab, he never made it past the first round ever again.
That's like saying Jose Theodore is the greatest ever regular season because of his 1 Hart win in 1 year.
Kip doesn't have the best resume at the end of the day.
If I remember correctly the Sharks had 3 goalies and the Flames were targeting Toskala but the Sharks weren't interested in parting with him. They had no problem moving Kipper because he was raw and hadn't proven anything. In hindsight that Sharks team gets at least 1 cup if not more with a decade of Kipper behind that all star lineup.Without checking trophies or stats, I immediately think Kipper. That's no shot at Bob, who has an extremely impressive resume. Just the impact on the game itself, Kipper was (along with Iginla) literally the team. Sucks he couldn't have hit that level for the Sharks, but I still think very highly of him. It's not a crazy difference and full credit to Bob. Both were sort of castoffs who turned into greats.
Sounds about right. Hindsight is 20-20 I guess.If I remember correctly the Sharks had 3 goalies and the Flames were targeting Toskala but the Sharks weren't interested in parting with him.
