Everyone's putting a lot of onus on the Flames the lack of goaltending this season. Sure, Hiller's done for good when this season ends. However, I don't believe bringing in a #1 goalie will make the team that much better. Everyone sort of forgets how terrible the defense was at the beginning of the season, especially when they had to start without Brodie. Anyway, when Treliving gets "his [#1] man" in net again, if the Flames still run around in their own zone by the Pacific Division teams and don't make the playoffs again, then what? There are far bigger holes to fill other than the #1 goaltending position.
