    The way Hartley has handled Ramo is just a joke. Not like Berra won us 10 games in his starts and had good stats. His stats are horrible, even if he has been 'okay' and 'good' at times. NO reason to treat him as if he had been a stud. Ramo needs his chance, otherwise we're gonna kill his confidence and his rhytmn. Totally stupid, and I'd be pissed if I were Feaster, who went out and got him to come to North-America. IT was Mac in the beginning, now Berra. Ramo has really been treated unfairly.

    What message do you send to Ramo after giving ANYONE but him (MacD, Berra) ALL the opportunities in the world? Clearly, Hartley hasn't been fair to him at all. Berra and McD have struggled yet they got starts in a row. Hartley's favoritism is getting annoying.

    I say take advantage of the Ducks goalie situation. There is this guy Andersen who seems like he's gonna be good (already had very great numbers in the AHL) with Fasth and Hiller, so something's gotta give.

    Mac getting a start yesterday after the loss is why I think people have some concern.  But I am willing to give that one a pass since I am not sure if they wanted Ramo under extra pressure against his old team.  That might have nothing to do with it.  It might just be Hartley favoring Mac.  But I am willing to give it one more loss before I get too worried.  

     

    But if this continues I am with you.  I won't like it either.  

    lol, Ramo never even played a game for the Habs.

    Glad for Mac, but I'm sad we're gonna have to see him in the net again for maybe 2+ starts in a row... i guess there is our goaltender for the future. In all seriousness, congrats on a good game.

    Again, why in the WORLD are we playing this goalie? He is an AHL plug and an average backup AT BEST. We're just WASTING our time. We should be playing Ramo to see what he really has and if he can't answer the bell then we should be trying out Berra. MacD is a guy that's been on waivers many time. I don't know why we love him so much. We say he's been good yet he is the 40th ranked goalie in SV % and GAA. We say he had a good game yet he let in 5 goals on 28 shots. It's like Ben Street, I don't why the coaches love him so much. He hasn't been better than Ramo, and at this point, if he hasn't outplayed Ramo and forced the coaches to play him then he shouldn't get the starts. Ramo should be getting the starts by default unless he is outplayed by MacD. We brought him in for 5M to see if he can play in the league, not to sit and watch MacD play. We know damn too well MacD will be gone by next year..... what a waste of time, geez!

    That's been my point all along. There is a reason why Ramo and Berra didn't play in the NHL. There is a massive cliff between Europe and here. 

     

    Berra might have a shot as an undiscovered talent. Ramo tried the NHL and was awful, and now is on an even worse team (on paper). There is always a longshot chance of picking up a Faskth (spelling?) type, but it's rare. 

     

    Little risk with either acquisition, but don't be shocked if MacD is by far our best goalie and Ramo sails into the sunset yet again (albeit with a ridiculous chunk of cash).

    Although this isn't KHL. KHL level is higher. I'll wait and see on Ramo, I guess.

    JMac looked really good, agreed.   I also agree that  Ortio was so-so, and that's about where his development is for an NHL game, so that's expected.  He played like most AHL goaltenders would play in that game.

     

    From the day we acquired his rights, I've never understood the excitement about Ramo, nor have I heard any good reason why we would expect him to do well here.   I am compelled to be honest and say that he played almost exactly like his previous track record would suggest he'd play.   For sure, he should get a few more chances, and I do think he'll improve somewhat as he adjusts.  But the reality of the situation is that he has  a lot of work to do before proving that he can be an AHL goaltender.

     

    I wonder how the preseason is going over in Europe?
