Calgary fans, you have got yourself a keeper. Reto Berra spectacular in Swiss' 3-0 win vs USA in #IIHFWorlds semifinal.

I thought he was solid, but not spectacular - simply because he didn't get as much to do as I had expected. His defensemen did an outstanding job and he didn't face too many quality shots ... but when the Swiss needed him, he was there, calm and solid. Only once he looked shaky when he tried to make a glove save in the 3rd period and missed it, but luckily the shot went wide. I was impressed by his movement, he is pretty quick for a big guy. He obviously takes away a lot from the net and he uses his size well. Not sure how he'll adapt to the NA game, but I think he has a lot of potential.
Switzerland's tournament is especially outstanding when you remember that they do it without Hiller, Brunner, Streit and Bärtschi ...
