It's wierd, and possibly influenced by sample size but Ramo is a completely different player on the road. I can't help but wonder if he simply gets nervous early in games at Saddledome:
Home: .891
Away: .931
That's a 4% difference... basically that one backbreaking softy he always seems to let in at home. Or maybe it's that one overly fancy turnover someone always seems to make in the first period.
Compare that to other guys hovering in the ~.912 sv% range - none of these guys are higher OR lower - Ramo covers BOTH extremes:
Hiller:
Home: .906
Away: .920
Ward
Home: .928
Away: .902
Bishop
Home: .924
Away: .895
Miller:
Home: .912
Away: .914
Niemi
Home: .899
Away: .926
Bobrovsky
Home: .913
Away: .913
Halak
Home: .911
Away: .909
I find it interesting that for Ramo, the road is a comfort zone. Maybe he's going to blow up next year in a non-Hockey market where there's no one to impress.
