Well not sure what Ortio does there, the guy stopped the puck before it got to him.

Come on D.

What did we expect? Really, this is part and parcel with how the Flames have fared this year, weak d coverage, weak goaltending, weak heart.

But you are right, it's not Hartley's fault. GM needs to take some blame for this situation (past and present). I've always thought Hiller was a very poor signing by Burke and Treliving continuing the madness this year of resigning Ramo. There was no market for moving Hiller.

...and Ortio sucks

That had to be the laziest play I've ever seen from Johnny.

That one isn't on Ortio, watch the replay.

Kessler tips it, santorelli stops it before it gets to Ortio and has time to chip it over him.

That one is all on the D and the D zone coverage.

Nope. Ortio was on his face. NHL goalies routinely would stop/smother that and it's a nothing play.

2 of those heavily screened goals I wouldn't expect the best in the league to stop. So why pile on the hate without taking a more objective look at things.

Call me an apologist all you want, but I'm not blindly defending the goalies every single goal.
I think people are growing tired of seeing bad goals consistently let in by Ramo and Hiller and the frustration is definitely justified.

They've scored 4 goals tonight and are still trailing. I would have ZERO confidence playing in front of either of these guys.

It's an area that needs to be addressed in the off season.

This broadcast is supposed to be a safe space. The word "McDavid" triggers me.

Coaches have them focused on positioning, not boxing out.

I, for one, can't stand it

When the goalies aren't getting screened, they're letting in poor goals or are the victim of bad defending.

When you give up 6 goals there is a lot of blame to go around. It's not exclusively the goaltenders or the defense.
