What is Happening?

There's something wrong with Hiller. The only thing that is known right now is that he has a correctable balance problem. Something in his ear apparently. Does that make you feel better? Me neither. I don't like what is happening with our goalie situation or standings for that matter. The Ducks have managed to drop from 3rd in the west to 10th! Although it sounds like a huge drop, only five points seperate them from 3rd in the west, and 1st in the pacific. That's how tight the standings are. Because of this unique situation, every win and loss counts. You've heard of 4 point games? Well, each game feels more like an 8 point game now! The reason for all the concern is because current back-up goalie, Mcgruber isn't cutting it. He and his back-up combined for 17 goals in two games. 17!!!! Not only does that crush the confidence of the goal tending department, but it doesn't do wonders for the defense. After sprucing up our defense, not even 24 hour later, our goalie situation went to heck in a hand basket. Too make matters worse, The Ducks have been ultra cool, calm and collected with Hiller's diagnosis, not jumping ship just yet. The Duck boards have been filling up with all sorts of conspiracy theories for Hiller's ailment, including the best one yet...an STD (as reported on twitter by PrincessDuck). I'm not sure which STD affects your balance, but I do remember when former Angel KC Kotchman contracted mono, and was wiped out for almost a year and half (not saying that mono is an STD). Whatever is wrong with Hiller, the Ducks sound confident that it can be repaired. Murray didn't run out and buy a goalie over the weekend, so he must know something we don't know. Emery wasn't called up, but something tells me if he continues his winning ways, he'll show up in the NHL sooner than expected. What makes me nervous is because the west is so close points wise, one can miss the season by 1 point, all because of losing that '1' game, or '2'. This part of the season is always the worst, with regards to nail biting, but whatever is wrong with Hiller, it better be fixed before April.
