You know what, I dont know what it is. I like Hiller and I dont think he sucks, his play this season has certainly been orders of magnitude below par but another reason I dont mind him leaving is because I dont think his head or heart are in it anymore.

Hes never been the same since he got pulled against Anaheim, replaced by Ramo and then Ramo was re-signed. And he has been objectively terrible ever since. No argument there. But isnt as though his talent has dried up.

But, like it or not hes our #1 goaltender at the moment. Despite his poor play with Ramo on the IR no one can say that he isnt.

So to start your #1 goaltender isnt 'tanking' especially as at the moment he cant really be replaced.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
