As all season, I suspect most will say Ramo based on the last 5 games...but this is just continuing the trend of the regular season of the attitude based on how those guys were playing.

Every time one would start to look a bit so/so, the other came in and played really well for 5-6 games....and then start to look poor.

It was a somewhat lost story in all the comebacks. Ramo played terrible, sliding too far out and letting up too many rebounds and then Hiller came in. Hiller let in goals from odd angles or through him. Rinse and repeat.

But then each would spell the other and stand on their head for a stretch of games, again, oft forgotten in what the team as a whole were doing in winning games they shouldn't have, in some cases.

Who knows, just like Game 6 Vancouver, ANA would've gotten a couple quick ones and then the Hiller stands on his head for the rest of Game 6 and manages to pull it out in Game 7 and everyone would want Hiller....the way its gone all year.

I think whichever is kept, the 1 and 1a system works pretty well with either of those guys, not sure you'd want them as full time backup.
