Maybe someone that watches them can add some insight. I just trust Hartley to play who he thinks is best.
Hiller and Ramo have no future here and aren't even very good. There's no way Ortio is worse than these two guys from what I've seen. Maybe the same, or close to, but that's good enough for me. Ramo and Hiller are what they are, Ortio might actually get better.

They were quite good in the win against Vancouver and I thought they were pretty good in Winnipeg.

Terrible in game one, meh against St. Louis (though that was a lot to do with St. Louis IMO).

Who looked at this guy and say you know what, will make a great HNIC host. BTW that is a tailored suit.

I understand the frustration with the goalie fiasco but goaltending is hardly the problem right now.

It's like Ortio is gaining Tim Tebow qualities where he will simply inspire the rest of the team to play better.

You mean visually?

It took a Johnny hockey hat trick vs. LA in the third period to bust that slump.

I guess I'm just not worried yet. Brodie can't be too far out anymore.

These are NHL players. They should be ready to play. I'm always surprised (or maybe not) how quickly people want to blame the coaches.

Give me a ####ing break. Not everyone has to have the Flames balls in their mouth like you. Im sitting here in my season ticket seats supporting this team more than most. Just cause I call a spade a spade doesn't change my fandom for this team.

This is ridiculous. This team has been awful so far. Sorry for pointing out what you're pretending to not see.

They should, but they're not. There are coaches for a reason, this is part of the reason.

Hopefully the Flames can at least push this to OT.

I reckon OT between these two teams wouldn't last 30 seconds, but they'd be a pretty wild 20 something seconds.

As much as I agree, the Flames are giving them no reason to talk about anything else...
