Blues seemed to have Ramo on the ropes last time if I remember rightly. Ramo being more acrobatic but prone to losing the net after the first couple of strong passes.
Hiller sits deep in the net, and lets go some rebounds, but is positionally sound and not prone to overcommitting like Ramo. I think the decision has to be based on how opponents move the puck in the offensive end. If are a behind the net / down low team, I think Hiller has an advantage.

Ramo hasn't played the Blues this year. If you are remembering last year, yup - he got torched for 5.
April 1 Practice - Hiller starts vs Blues
