Last year (same system, same D core), the Flames were 16th in GA, and gave up slightly less than the average amount of goals (213 vs an avg of 218)

This year, they are 30th in GA. Same system, pretty much the same team.

So what has changed?

There is no question that goaltending is a huge part of it. Hiller just isn't the same guy he was last year.

And Ramo started terribly. But when he started playing better, the Flames GA was more normal.

Then he got hurt and the GAA went up again.

It isn't all goaltending, but that's the #1 factor.
