The #Flames have recalled @JoniOrtio from the @AHLFlames ~ http://t.co/AYWR1UFLND http://t.co/PyE674Rx7D

If so, big break for our team. Ramo is a quality backup but in comparison to Hiller, there's a noticeable difference. Hiller stole game 1 for Calgary and played spectacular last night.

Adirondecks season is over, he's just a practice goalie.

Also hiller didn't play awesome, he's was flopping around his crease and giving up back rebounds all games. The Canucks just don't have any Finish..... We are all Swedish :bigblush:

Edit: Virtanen is half Finish hmmmmmm

Does it really matter who is in net?

I mean they have no one near them, and we all float around the perimeter.

Besides, it is the Canucks' specialty to make no name goalies look like all stars.

Isn't that the truth. Game 4 coming up and the only contact with Hiller is Weber's fly bye. Any suggestion that Hiller is winning the series is laughable. Matthias goes to the net and voila a goal!

Burrows-Richardson and the entire Horvat line and that is about it as far as net crashing. Even tiny

Johnny Hockey goes to the net for Calgary.

You have to give Calgary a lot of credit. They're doing it smartly. You don't actually need to run a goaltender to generate offense. Simply get in his crease and take away his mobility. Is that against the rules? Yes technically somewhere deep down in the rulebook but who cares? In the playoffs you do what it takes to win and the standard was established right from game 1 that unless you actually hit the goaltender and a puck goes in it's a good goal. You'd think Burrows would be an expert on bending the rulebook but he keeps ignoring opportunities to get in Hiller's crease.

Wonder if Weber crashing the crease brought back that Vertigo again.

Edit: "crashing the crease".

Only if he gets dizzy from spinning around so much. Weber didn't actually make contact with Hiller's body, only Hiller's glove/stick as he reached out and the extension part of the top of Hiller's right leg pad. It's still goalie interference, but clearly nothing close to running him or anything like that.
