Fair enough.
I thought he was too weak on his stick.
At the end of the day though, there was a situation in front of the net with Russell and Benn. Benn won the battle and scored. It was a defining moment in a one-goal game. For that reason, the 'goat' label applies IMO, regardless.
I do have to say though, after seeing more replays of it since, that Hiller also played it poorly and deserves some of the blame (for lack of a better word)
