He is fighting for his job for this or even next year. Think about it, while he was injured Lack has taken over and carried this team. Miller feels him breathing down his neck so he will feel the need to step up and steal one. He'll either do well or fold under the pressure.

Overthinking it. By that reasoning the Flames should start Ramo, because Hiller took over while he was injured and carried the team, so he will be extra motivated.
Miller is a decent goalie when he's on. I think the Flames can expect him to be solid. But I haven't seen him steal a game in years. He won't be the difference in this game IMO. It will be about which team can carry the play, which team sticks to its system (i.e whether the Flames can continue to keep the Sedins from making cross-crease passes) and whether the Flames can continue to get good efforts from every line and expploit the bottom half of the Canuck's defence.
