Although the clock is ticking on Berra fast - it might be nice to see what would happen if an Allaire got a hold of him and set him straight.

And oddly enough, this is precisely why I think Berra has way more potential than Ramo.
Yes, they have been about equally bad.
However, when I watch Berra play, I see a goalie that
could be really good.
His size and his lateral movement are fantastic. His abilities on shoot-outs are plainly evident.
Where he gets into trouble is with over-committing, and with some bad rebounds.
In other words, he has the tools, he just needs more coaching. His problems are correctable.
I think Berra can be a good NHL goalie (or at least decent). I don't have the same confidence with Ramo.
If I were the GM. I would be running Berra here, and Ortio down in Abby, just like they are doing (and waiting for Gillies), though the occasional start for Ramo wouldn't hurt either.
