My concern with him is he still struggles with position in his net and overcommitting side to side, still lets in weak goals especially in the 3rd period it seems and has yet to have a game where I would say he stole one or stood on his head. To me those are the same issues he has when he first started here and they haven't improved.

Dude...its beyond obvious that Berra is heads and tails better than he was in October and November...and its not debateable using either stats or the eyeball test.

Im not a fan of the guy either and dont believe he amounts to much of anything at the NHL level, but there is just no way to deny he isnt playing far better than he did at seasosn start.
