"Mediocre" means "average, middle of the road, not noteworthy".
So when you say things like "Reto Berra is a mediocre NHL goalie", or "Ramo has been been mediocre", what your saying is that they have been as good as most NHL goalies, and are average among their peers.
When in fact the phrase you're looking for is "Reto Berra is f***ing terrible".
Mediocre in the NHL is Pekka Rinne, or Marc-Andre Fleury. All 3 Flames goalies this year are in the bottom 5 of the NHL for sv%. They are all much, much, worse than mediocre.

Actually, Berra is 58 (out of 72) in SV% and 61 in GAA.
Considering the company around him, I suppose Fasth, Markstrom, Backstrom, Nabokov, Lindback, and Anderson are all terrible goaltenders?
I don't think terrible means what you think it means, while you're giving dictionary lessons.
That, or you believe that all of the players above can maintain NHL jobs despite being "extremely bad" and "very unskillful"...
