Since Ramo went down, I got to thinking, "how bad is Hiller, if we ignore hyperbole? He's surely not 'the worst goalie in the nhl' or an 'ahl or echl caliber goalie'...or is he?"

The worst 10 qualified goalies in terms of save percentage are as follows:

Niemi/Lethonen: 0.907
Rinne: 905
Howard: 903
Condon: 902
Nilsson: 901
Lack: 901
Smith: 901
Bernier: 895
Lindback: 894
Hiller: 889

The worst 10 qualified goalies in terms of GAA are as follows:

Talbot 2.72
Anderson 2.76
Hutchinson 2.88
Lehtonen 2.89
Howard 2.92
Smith 3.06
Lindback 3.11
Nilsson 3.14
Bernier 3.17
Hiller 3.20

Hiller is 9-9-2 in 22 games.

Of his 9 losses, 6 have been against bottom tier teams including: Arizona, Edmonton (x2), Carolina, New Jersey, and Ottawa.

Of his 9 wins, 5 are against bottom tier teams including: Toronto, Vancouver (x3), Buffalo.

So, is Hiller the worst goalie in the league? Discuss...
