I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the opponent's dressing room when they hear Hiller's been named as the starter. He's been so bad this year that I'll bet their players literally cheer when they hear he'll be between the pipes.
"Woohoo! Aim for the corners, boys!"
"I'm gittin' me a hattie tonight!"
I can respect the idea of giving the guy a chance to prove himself in a contract year (a year that's been a write-off for the Flames for the last month)...but I have NEVER seen a guy given so much rope, nor one who's tied such a fine noose for himself with said rope.
