Goaltending is by far and away the #1 problem for Calgary right now. It is the decision makers fault. Treliving for Giving Hartley too many to work with, And Hartley for being stupid enough to try the one and done method for so long. Everyone and their dog knows goalies work better when they're not wondering if they'll start or not tomorrow. Look at Ramo, he gets 12 in a row and raises his SV% to .889 (lol, raises to, like its a good thing). Adding a few wins into the mix too.
To me, as long as the Flames have Ramo/Hiller, the season is a loss. And I really like Hiller. Would love if he got all the starts, win or lose. Just like Hartley is doing with Ramo right now.
And the way Ortio has been dealt with is infuriating. I don't really care for the rumors of him not doing whatever during practice, frankly I think it's bullcrap.
Guy is 24 years old and on the cusp. Needs a block of games to show if he really does have it or not. Not 2 separated starts and a couple of fill ins because the "vet" sucked.
