I think it's a message from Bob to Treliving. Give me an NHL Goaltender or i'll keep rotating the ones you gave me. It also suggests Bob doesn't think Ortio is the solution next year either.
I also think this was a "Prove It" game for Hiller, and I would be very surprised to see him get another start. Ortio would have to be really, really bad to earn Hiller another start.
I think this is why Hiller wasn't pulled. Give him the whole game.
