I go with Hiller for game 1 and see how he plays. He has been great in the playoffs for the most part, and he is probably motivated after being pulled and facing his old team.

Isn't it more disrespectful to your opponent to ease up on your opponent? I mean, similar leads have been lost in less time than what there was left. Idiots.
I hate being a Debbie Downer, but I hate when she brings stuff like this up. Not the first time. She also asked Johnny if the Flames were going to make the playoffs. No pressure.
Ah, whatever. GO FLAMES GO!
Sounds like she was quoting another writer. Also, I think you're thinking of the Kristin Hallett interview, not Kristin Odland.

What a special night in a special season. So happy to share it tonight with my family and friends. It was an emotional roller coaster!
Stajan-Ferland-Jones was the best and most consistent line of the series. Great job by all 3 of them to score big goals, shut down the Sedins, and finish all their checks. They lead by example.
Flames defence was there when needed. Brodie, Russel and Wideman continue to amaze me. Engel land and Shlemko were solid too.
We lost our minds at the Dome when Stajan scored.
It was amazing to see the fans standing for the final 5 minutes straight.
Nobody sat back down.
I almost blacked out from excitement!
"I've never seen this. I remember being in great markets, I remember winning the Stanley Cup in Colorado, to see every fan with, you know, the Flaming C, wearing it proudly, the way that, you know, you almost feel like they're on the bench with you, you have to yell... we couldn't communicate... their passion for the team"
"en francis, you work only the night shift, huh?"
Bob Hartley is great in the post-game interview

I really don't think Hiller was terrible tonight, but when you have options, it makes sense to switch it up. They play different styles and Ramo's style worked better tonight.
I don't think Hartley pulled Hiller because of bad play. I think he wanted to make a statement to the rest of the Flames and wake them up.
I go with Hiller for game 1 and see how he plays. He has been great in the playoffs for the most part, and he is probably motivated after being pulled and facing his old team.
Agreed. Ramo was great in relief tonight, but you have to go with the guy who got ya here. If Hiller stinks it up in game 1, then switch to Ramo for game 2.
Couldn't agree more.
It's a screenshot from the NHL store website. If I bought a jersey online and it arrived typeset like that if return it immediately.
