There is literally an infinite number of ways the game could have gone differently if that save was made. We'll never know so who cares?
Fair point on the other saves.
Any of the three goalies would have lost the game with the effort the other players put in. I don't like any of them as an NHL #1.

To be fair, I suspect Carey Price would have lost the game with the effort the other players put in.
Or Patrick Roy in his prime.
Maybe they could have won with Jesus in goal. Maybe. As they say, ‘Jesus saves,’ but you have to want to be saved. I didn't see enough want in that group to fill a Dixie cup.

The loss extends the NHL's longest active losing streak in season openers (0-5-1).
Calgary hasn't started with a victory since Oct. 1, 2009, against Vancouver and is 12-20-10-2 all time in its first game of the season.

Personally I wouldn't even change the lineup, the message is redemption.
I would even keep Ramo in.
Then if they get blammo'd I switch things up.

Hartely said Hiller is in and so is Raymond.

Can you blame the blue jays on their lost?

Hmm based on the second picture above, it doesn't look like Brodie is wearing his hand cast anymore! Hopefully he's on track for the shorter estimated recovery time of 3 weeks.

Yes, totally. It is completely the fault of the Flames' loss that there is a team called the Toronto Blue Jays. If the Flames had only won the game, the Blue Jays would never have occurred.
(Sorry, it just bugs me when people get that expression backwards.)
