  1. I’m assuming we are stuck with hiller ? I think he woulda been fired already . I’d like to see him show passion DURING the games ! And with the media good or bad !

  2. So it’s nice to see these guys shine but that shine would be nice during I don’t know let’s say the last two games before the Olympic break , AND HILLER IS NOT A GOOD COACH
