I know Hiller stinks but IMO few goaltenders would have stopped that 2nd goal as that shot was perfect. People can blame Hiller all they want but on a Flames powerplay the Wild had a man in all alone score with a perfect shot followed shortly by a 2 on 1 for the Wild on the same Flames powerplay. This team is simply bad.

Hiller is terrible. Please feel free to defend the rock solid goaltending hiller has provided for the year if you so wish.

I like to think I'm pretty level-headed about these goalies. I've defended all three of them at different low points this year. I've ever said that a lot of Hiller's bad games in October were not his fault.

Hiller needs to have that second goal.

This team is not getting a top three pick. We will always win enough to end up higher than the teams shamelessly tanking.

4-8th pick. Still nice, but no Finn.

Until Hiller actually stops a blocker side shot from the slot I refuse to believe this.

That perfect shot just under the top corner post? Don't think so. The first one some goaltenders may have stopped by being a little higher in the crease but the 2nd one's a goal most of the time on any goaltender.

Hiller is a joke. He wasn't ready for the second goal. Unbelievable.

Hiller is only part of the problem tonight. Both goals came from EDIT: really bad D coverage and poor decision making. Anyone placing the sole blame on Hiller is missing the bigger picture and problem.

Don't know if the Flames have put an NHL quality shot on net yet tonight, everything is so weak and frustrating.

Any shot high on Hiller is a perfect shot this season.

This is the first game all year I wasn't excited to watch, and now it's also the first game all year I want to end as soon as possible so I can go do better things with my time. Horrible Hiller + Boring Wild = Angry N-E-B

Sutter broke it down on video and blamed Stajan and Jones moreso. Stajan got beat to the puck by Pominville and Jones drifted away from the slot.

Maybe we will strike it rich with our 6-8% chance in the lotto

What's the over/under on the amount of goals Swiss cheese let's by tonight? Where's EV and his Hiller praise now?
