I'm not sure why anyone would declare love for one over the other at this point. They've got had good games and bad games and neither has really stood out from the pack.
At this point they look a bit better than the average guy you could yank up from the AHL or waivers (MacDonald/Bachman... those types of guys).. but hopefully they continue to improve... really no harm in having Ortio spend another year in the AHL next year and bring along Gillies slowly.

I compare Berra to MacDonald because both seem to be out of position and have to make acrobatic saves to make up for it. Some times they don't get those saves. Maybe Berra can change that, but he is 27 ( almost 28), and might be set in his ways. Also when some goalies change parts of their game, it opens another can of worms in another part of their game.
I am certainly not giving Ramo any more love than i am giving Berra. Both seem like they could be legit back-ups. The one thing that gives Ramo the edge over Berra for next year is the insurance contract ( Feaster, LOL). I don't believe Burke will stand pat if he thinks both goalies are looking like back-ups at the end of the year. Nobody is trading for Ramo and $2 + million, so he automatically gets to stay.
