After watching last night's game, it's obvious that Hiller is NOT the goalie going forward. You can tell a difference between Hiller vs Ramo and how they protect the net. Both are butterfly goalies, however, Hiller doesn't challenge anyone but stays in the blue paint area covering only down low. His inability to move quick laterally is what makes him a weaker goalie than Ramo, IMO. After replacing Hiller after the 4th goal, you can clearly see a difference in how Ramo challenges the shooter further out of the net so he effectively takes away a lot of the upper shots. I still think Ramo and Ortio is a better combo than Hiller and Ortio.
