As far as performance goes. Ramo knows NHL ice and has not been much better than Berra.
Ramo should get more frequent starts but at this point Berra has been getting the team to OT's and shootouts. It could be the coaches believing they're seeing Berra come around and are going to be patient and feed him the starts until he completely craps the bed or they hit paydirt.
Berra is still my bet to become number one but these soft goals late in the games are starting to irritate me a little.
When Ramo gets his starts he is going to have to steal those games. Full on rob them if he wants more starts.
It's also likely they're seeing more in practices than we do in game. Theres a slew of possibilities as to why they choose Berra at this point.

Berra was a big part of the reason the Flames ended up in OT for sure. Twice it would have been regulation wins if not for a soft goal.
He also crapped the bed on a couple of occasions. Once getting pulled. He was the goalie during the worst stretch of the season. What has to happen for Ramo to get a start.
He got the tough start the second he arrived and he hasn't done enough to justify a 90 percent start ratio. Hartley was itching to play him and since getting that shot he keeps playing him.
The Flames committed a 2 year contract to Ramo, the supposed best goalie not in the NHL. He can't buy a start. He is rotting on the bench. There is to much time between starts for him to have a good chance.
I don't care who carries the bias. The goalie rotation is garbage.
