I was going to start a thread about this last night.
I think Karri Ramo deserves some more starts, and here's my reason:
Even Strength Save Percentage.
SV% EV:
Joey: .884
Karri: .905
Reto: .891
SV% PP:
Joey: .870
Karri: .784
Reto: .865
Our penalty kill was disastrous to start the season. It's basically what sunk Ramo's save percentage. Since November, our PK has improved, and Ramo has yet to benefit from this recent improvement.
If you look at Even Strength goals against, you'll see Ramo stronger here too.
GA/EV:
Joey: 2.71
Karri: 2.13
Reto: 2.67
The sample sizes are still small. But Karri has looked by eye to be the best goalie we have at even strength. Berra really starts to run around in the 3rd period, Karri seems to be able to handle the pressure a little better. Just my eye-witness account and a little stats to back it up.
