Berra gets the advantage for me because he covers so much of the net with his big body. He's had a couple of really good performances and a few sketchy ones. As far as I can tell he's the only goalie who has posted a performance with a save percentage north of .900 this season and he's saved 40+ shots on a few occasions. Ramo hasn't shown nearly as much potential.
Ramo deserves some starts, but Berra gives us the best shot at winning. Ramo looks like a serviceable back-up but I think Berra could be an average-to-poor NHL starter. I have no problem with how the goalie situation is being handled. All that being said, I hope Gillies lives up to his potential in the next couple of years.
