I think the Ducks are actually poised nicely for a cup run. These guys are on the next level right now. Who thought the Ducks would challenge the Kings at all this year for the division? Especially after their first half.

I thought that was far more likely than them continuing to battle it out with us and Edmonton for Matthews.

He's not getting to be bad. You think he wants to go out like this?

What's Hiller's save percentage after that performance?

The Flames are doing more harm than good by playing Hiller. He clearly knows his time in the NHL is done and all they're doing now is destroying his self confidence. Don't embarrass your players.

He's not even trying at this point as far as I'm concerned. Flames don't owe him anything. They tried to give him a chance and he's failed miserably and now seemingly doesn't give two ***** about it. Good riddance.

Not to be devil's advocate but two of those goals were terrible defensively, not on Hiller in my mind. Second one was garbage though.

At least one goalie isn't crapping the bed for the Flames.

18 year old Flames Prospect Nick Schneider made 12/12 saves in the first period of his first pro game against the Ducks' AHL team.

That could be Sigalet too though. Ramo is average at best when he's "on"

At this point, Treliving couldn't do any worse by making Ortio the defacto #1 next season and getting a cheap backup.

Anyone remember the Wregget, Brathwaite, Garner, Trefilov combo?
