Maybe you're right, expectations are too high. I expect my starting goalie to have a save percentage >.900, maybe we should adjust that downwards.
Listen the whole team D is pretty bad, but let's not try to rationalize that Ramo is doing ok. He's not. His performance has been pathetic.

I think with a .900 save percentage, this is a playoff team.
I find team defence crumbles as a result of lack of confidence in the goalie. Flames have good d-men and good defensive forwards, so this system should work. In my mind, it's the weak goalies that are hindering the whole team system.
At 900, the team plays better and they let in far fewer goals.
If I were GM, I am not sure if I pray to the little baby Christmas Jesus that Ramo/Hiller find their game again, or if I pray to the little baby Christmas Jesus another GM is willing to trade his capable goal tender.
But Baby Jesus needs to make one of those two scenarios happen. And quickly because the problem will only get worse as time goes on.
