Respectfully, on Hiller: any goaltender that only gives up 1 goal over 2 games deserves to keep his net. To not start him tonight after a shootout loss (I mean who can really get mad at a shootout loss) after giving up 1 goal would be disingenuous to the idea of recent performance determining whether you play or not. Hiller wasn't great tonight on a couple of plays, but there were also multiple odd man chances and breakaways that he had to stop. No credit for those of course because we lost, but he wasn't the sole reason we lost.
That said, I would be happy to start Ramo next game.
