Superstar Of The Month: Miikka Kiprusoff


OK, I'm gonna be a little biased with this month's superstar. The Superstar of the month for April 2007 is Miikka Kiprusoff, the goaltender for the Calgary Flames.
He wins this award for playing outstanding hockey and being the best player for the flames during their short lived playoff run. Even though the Flames were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs in six games, by the Detroit Red Wings. Kipper was the sole reason the series even went to a 6th game. If it wasn't for his play, the Flames would of gotten swept in 4. I have no doubt about it. He was facing 40+ shots a game and was still able to keep his save percentage above 90%. On 2 occasions he faced 50+ shots. He made over 2000 saves, in 74 games played, during the season and post season.
Congrats Kipper for being the Superstar of the month for April 2007
