The Flames franchise record holder for both wins and shutouts, the 2003-04 season best illustrates Miikka Kiprusoff’s prowess as he won 24 out of 38 games played, finishing the season with an impressive 1.69 GAA. This “White 3rd Regular Season/Stanley Cup Playoffs” jersey was worn by the Finnish star that very season, and it’s been extensively photo-matched to both the regular season along with the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. “Goalie Style” and size tagging appears along the collar, with embroidered CCM and NHL crests on the back neckline and bottom hem respectively. Accented with attractively slanted tri-colour tackle twill numbers and the team crest in use since 1994, there are also matching alternate crests over each shoulder. The MeiGray patch numbered B01986 sits on the inside hem, and a matching LOA will accompany.
Game-wear on this important Kiprusoff sweater includes dark marks on the lower front and on each sleeve, along with red goal-post paint transfer over each elbow, but heavier on the right. There is also some pilling to the fabric along the collar as well as a pair of large team repairs with one centered within the team crest while the other sits to the right of the crest. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-matches, Getty image 50849072 from April 2nd 2004 has been matched to the team repair and black mark near it in the middle of the team crest, and to the mark in the lower right area of the team crest, while Getty image 50838206 from April 9th (Conference Quarterfinals)and Getty image 50861345 from April 15th (Conference Quarterfinals) have both been matched to the team repair and black mark near it in the middle of the team crest, and to the mark in the lower right area of the team crest as well as a few other marks on the front of the jersey. Next, Getty image 50861345 from April 19th (Conference Quarterfinals) has been matched to the team repair and black mark near it in the middle of the team crest. Finally, Getty image 50861345 from May 1st, Getty image 50826653 from May 11th and Getty image 50850377 from May 17th (all Conference Quarterfinals) have been matched to the team repair in the middle of the team crest. We should also note that considering his amazing stats this season along with the thorough use exhibited, this is definitely one of the nicest Kiprusoff examples you're likely to find.
