As for Ramo he just needs to learn to be aggressive in shootouts/breakaways. If you breakdown the goals he let in it is not as bad as it seems. First goal was a clear breakaway from the blue line. Two goals were on the powerplay from the best one in the league last year (First goal by Ovechkin was tipped). The other goal was a quick shot off the draw that caught Ramo off guard.
If the team takes less penalties, win more draws and eliminate defences lapses they easily would have won. That being said Ramo needs to be able to show he can steal a game here and there.

I agree about Ramo, it was the shoot-out that makes things look worse, but he was brutal. I woulda scored.
As for Gallairdi and Street being on in OT, what is the upside? I know they played well, but seriously, who gives you a better chance to score? If you lose in OT to an Eastern team, who cares? Go for the goal, especially conidering the Flames shoot-out records since.... forever.
