Make no mistake I don't want Treliving doing anything significant to this roster going into the trade deadline. Even guys like Raymond, Stajan, Bollig, etc. - who are often the whipping boys around here - I wouldn't want to deal because of the potential chemistry upset that could do in the dressing room.

But after last night's game with the Penguins I truly feel that it's time to move Ramo. What does Ramo have to do with last night's game? It's more a Hiller thing than a Ramo thing, but we need a goalie who can stand on his head in games like last night, make huge saves nobody has any business of making, if anything keep the guys in the game so that they can perform some magic like we all know this squad is capable of doing... only to somehow squeeze out a point or even two. And that guy is Ortio...

Nothing against Hiller or Ramo for that matter. I don't even think some of the goals last night were Hiller's fault. And I truly feel he's the most seasoned option going into the playoff crunch - nothing really bad against Ramo. Sometimes however, when the score is down, you can tell this team throws it in when Hiller is in net and even his care factor seems to for lack of a better word... slow.

Ultimately this team is a beauty and I like to think has a lot of lightning in a bottle. I love Hiller I really do, and Ramo is not a bad backup, but Ortio was magic up here. And he stole key points for us where we had no business getting them.

My only wish this season is that Treliving pull the trigger and takes one chance on moving Ramo to promote Ortio. I call it a gamble because no doubt the experience of Ramo is considered more of a safety net. But I can't help but wonder how many points we could steal down this stretch having Ortio up.

I can't help but think it would be a key improvement to even more of this team's success going forward...
