Michael Farkas
Celebrate 68
Well, yeah, he had the lowest GAA of any goalie since the 30's...if he was doing that routinely, he'd already be on the list haha...
The difference is is that Kipper had more than two seasons - he had a very respectable peak/prime - and did it across multiple situations, showing his adaptability - and above all, talent. Which that actual two-season goalie had very little of. That Calgary team was not all that good, and Kipper slammed the door in a year where no goalies were...we talk a lot about Jagr getting robbed by the Thornton trade, but man, how about Kiprusoff too...who knows how much of the West vote he would have gotten if Thornton didn't drag the Sharks out of last and made a third liner forever etched in history...
