"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".
When you are at the bottom of the league among all goalies (starters and backups) in every statistical category, you are not "mediocre".
You are "f***ing terrible". That is the opposite of not being noteworthy.
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.

When I say Berra has been mediocre I mean in comparison to the other Flames guys and maybe from what I have expected from him. Considering I said that none look like NHL starters or that they have that potential I thought it was pretty clear that mediocre didn't mean NHL level mediocre.
