Who starts game 1 vs Anaheim?

[GGG]

I'd go with Hiller, I like the revenge story.

The two are pretty equal. Hiller was fantastic during the Van series, Ramo came in and was okay but allowed two goals one of witch was a bad goal. If a Ramo game in and was perfect I might choose Ramo but he was only only good enough.

Great having two good options.

It has to be Ramo.

Does anyone know what happened to Hiller after he got pulled? Was he just really pissed off and went straight to the change room or did he have something wrong with his equipment?

[Huntingwhale]

Hiller. Him getting pulled was more Hartley trying to get the team going. He's been the man since the playoffs started and Hartley knows how important this series will be for him.

Having said that, I think if Ramo comes in relief at some point, Ramo will run with it.

[Funkhouser]

Ortio, F with their heads...

[dammage79]

Hiller, shouldn't even be a discussion.

[FlamesAddiction]

Hiller has been good for the most part and I think showing confidence in him will payoff. He wants to redeem himself and show-up his old team. He will have a lot of motivation.

But if he looks rattled, I have no problem putting Ramo and going with the rotation again.

I am sure he was pissed off a little (naturally). He's a pro though and I am sure he will get over it and move on.

At that point, Hartley was just trying to get the team going and interrupt Vancouver's momentum and game plan. When you have a capable back-up, it's a nice option to have.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Hiller. He got us to round 2. Plus, Hartley's apology to Jonas solidifies that.

[SHOGUN]

Hiller has a 0.931% save percentage as of now... I'd go with him.

[Envitro]

Hiller is starting game 1

[Hackey]

Start with Hiller. He played unbelievable against the Canucks and has earned the right to play. He should be motivated against the Ducks and if things don't go well you can easily switch to Ramo. I think it's a lot tougher to go back to Hiller if you start with Ramo.

[Stay Golden]

Hiller was outstanding for the bulk of round 1. Personally I think the Flames may the edge in net. ANA did not win the series vs the Jets with solid goaltending they out gunned the Jets in scoring if anything their goaltending was the weakness it was average.

I go with Hiller vs his old team that quit on him.

[GreenLantern2814]

Ramo. Both goalies struggle to put together stretches of consistent play lasting longer than two or three weeks. Hiller will get his turn again. Ramo made some excellent stops in game 6 - he should get the chance to prove himself now that he's healthy.

Jon Gillies. Any chance we see all 4 goalies during the playoffs?

Hiller played very swell, but even when he is playing well he really puts out a LOT of rebounds. If the switch is made to Ramo, I think that will be the reason for it.

[Hemi-Cuda]

I give Hiller game one with a short leash. If he looks shaky and lets in a softie or two then Ramo starts the rest of the way

I thought he really controlled his rebounds well and directed them to areas that would be efficient for a counter-attack for this series up until last game.

[GioforPM]

Ramo made great saves but he scared me a lot with his rebounds. I believe it will be Hiller.
