I think we also ran into stretches where if one goalie played bad, the other guy stepped in right away and was real good. Hiller was great to start, had some bad games, Ramo jumped in, had some great games, and vice versa a few times. December when they switched, neither was great, but Hiller was definitely the better of the two.
I'm of the opinion you keep Ortio in the AHL for the rest of the year (barring injuries) and let him take the mini-Flames on a playoff run. Keep both Ramo/Hiller and let them play out the year and decide who you want to keep. I know this isn't really maximizing on an asset, but really I think we need both if we're gonna push for a playoff spot.
