I have a hard time understanding the number of Calgary Flames goaltender apologists on CP. They need to be better, plain and simple.
Haha, wasn't saying they didn't need to be better, I want Ramo/Hiller shot into the sun, the perception around here that is so heavily slanted on just flippantly throwing all the blame at the goalies feet is tiring.

2 of those heavily screened goals I wouldn't expect the best in the league to stop. So why pile on the hate without taking a more objective look at things.

Call me an apologist all you want, but I'm not blindly defending the goalies every single goal.
