CALGARY - It's a sound that has been heard before in the Scotiabank Saddledome.
You'd be hard pressed, though, to remember a time when derisive cat-calls were directed at the man between the pipes.
Jarome Iginla may be the face of the Calgary Flames, but netminder Miikka Kiprusoff has been at the team's heart since he joined it seven years ago. It's been his other-worldly play in goal that has been a constant for this team year after year, the number one reason the Flames have enjoyed any type of success.
But fans, weary of the club's inconsistency during a year that has the Flames treading water in search of a playoff berth, turned on their perennial savior on Wednesday night at the tail end of a 6-0 thrashing by the Minnesota Wild, giving the Finnish 'keeper the old Bronx cheer.
