And again...dealt. hiller was to be dealt. Not sent to the minors. Not a 3 goalie clown show. The fact that hiller couldnt be traded...miscalculation by management.
And then to send ramo down after 3 games is an embarrassment. Basically managment made a mistake on assessing the marketability of hiller, panicked when the 3 goalie circus turned into a clown show, and then threw ramo under the minor league bus even though hiller was playing just as bad and the team defence was attrotious.
So we can talk all we want about win and youre in being fair or how the goalies should have the mental fortitude to play well no matter the situation. Or about how good things only happen to good people. Or about how everything should aways be earned.
Or we can assess the situatiom realistically. There are 3 goalies playing poorly. Russel, wideman and gio have all had awful games. Brodie was out. Hamilton is playing terrible. The team is finally turnjng a corner. And our best waybout of this is for Ramo to get hot. And if he needs to be coddled for that to happen then so be it. Only one thing matters: getting wins

It was?
I follow this board, listen to the FAN, have many of the rumour guys on twitter as well as guys who follow the Flames and I never heard that for sure Hiller was going to be moved.
I heard rumours that was the plan but I also heard they signed Ramo because they had concerns about Ortio as well which is why Ramo and HIller were given the shot first.
Also not sure why when Ramo is the worst of the 3 our best chance is for him to get hot. That seems like the most unlikely thing to happen.
