After seeing saves like that I firmly believe Hiller got so many consecutive starts because management wanted to showcase him.

Holy. Backlund's only 26. I didn't realize.

Maybe the Granlund trade has sent him a (positive) message; maybe he's realizing that the Flames value him.

Whatever the case, I love his confidence.

Is this what having a number one goalie feels like? Getting saves?

See, Hiller? Goalies are actually allowed to stop shots that look like they're going in.

Boy will it ever be sweet if Joni pulls on his big boy pants and answers the biggest question for this team going into the off season.

Keep playing great Joni.

Every time I hear Wideman I keep forgetting that he's a Senator.

I'm so indifferent to hosts etc.

I notice when they are good or bad at their job and I love to mock a catchphrase, but I've never understand this red-alert level of seething commentary I see on message boards sometimes.

Romanuk is bad, but I honestly barely even notice.

Not saying Ortio hasn't had his rough patches, but I feel so much more comfortable with him between the pipes the past few games than I have felt with either of our other goalies at any point this year.

I'd totally agree. Except that by showcasing him, we unwittingly screwed ourselves, because Hiller did not show well.

Hiller had some great moments last year. But his style is quickly becoming a relic--the "puck blocker" style. No malice towards the guy, but I'd be surprised if he were offered a meaningful NHL contract next season.

#33 has a Nak for defence. That was a good play.

Is your TV on mute? The crowd boos loudly every time he has the puck.
