Here's an article from a few years back about goal support for goalies. There are good goalies on both lists. The Canadians score a ton more goals for Halak than they did for Price for example. http://www.hockeyprospectus.com/puck...?articleid=429 |
I was just alluding to the fact a big save can shift the momentum of the game. Berra seems to let in a lot of softies which can be very demoralizing for a team, whereas Ramo seems to make saves at the right time. I've seen plenty of games where the Flames will get many scoring chances followed by the puck getting turned over and the opposing team scoring on their only scoring chance (not just talking about Berra, this kind of thing can happen to any goalie on any team).
Hartley said himself that he didn't blame Ramo for the goals that were let in. Goalies being pulled can help to wake a team up and buckle down before things get too out of hand. That seemed to be exactly what happened and kudos to Berra for putting in a good performance.
