But of yu're going to insist on being obtuse, you can just go ahead assume that any qualitative description of an NHL player is followed by the statement "when compared to other NHL players".
Other people can understand that from context, but if you need it spelled out for you, there you go.

We can go back and forth all you'd like, but in relative comparison to other NHL goaltenders that have played games this season, Berra does not fit into the definition of terrible, and you sound both silly and pompous when you ridicule someone (even if it's moon) over the use of a world that doesn't actually fit, followed directly by using a word that doesn't actually fit.
Berra has been below average, poor, not good. But terrible? Sure, perhaps if you're teenager girl who regularly utters phrases like "OMG it was literally like the WORST thing ever!"... then yes, I'd expect you to say Berra is a terrible NHL goaltender.
Again, if you're going to criticise the use of a word, don't use an equally ignorant word in it's place.
Other people seem to be able to understand that without having it spelt out for them, but there you go, just for you.
