Never said Hiller wasn't fantastic or that they didn't battle.
That's different from not being happy with the win, which I sure was. There will be games this season the Flames will deserve to win and won't, tonight was the opposite. Not a big deal.

I see this selling them short. They were in way over their head against one of the best teams in the league on the 2nd night of a back to back. They could have easilly went full Oiler and offered no pushback.
But they didn't. Even with them being out-played, there was a non stop hustle / compete. Blocking shots, everyone chipping in. That was a great road game that of course included stellar goaltending.
The Oilers had no business beating the Kings. With that effort, we had a little bit of business beating the Hawks.
