How did he keep them in the game? What big saves did he make? His defensemen made bigger saves saving him from losing his net and putting rebounds right out to the middle of the ice.
As I mentioned in the game thread he wasn't that bad (outside of the awful GWG) but he wasn't challenged either and seemed to be lucky on a lot of plays in which he was out of position.
There always seems to be a reason for Ramo continually not being good enough. He is 29 now and not once looked like an NHL starter in his career. When do the excuses stop and the reality set in that he just isn't good enough?
