LAZY.
He will never be an elite or good tender as long as that is his approach. Sure most guys may not have a book on every call up but they do on the stars and high scorers in the league because if you don't they eat you for lunch. It's no co-incidence he is lit up so much and guys know where to shoot to score. High blocker side, goal every time. Make him move laterally, goal every time.

Well first off, Ramo looked sharp last game. I wouldn't start him B2B, but I see why he's starting. A struggling team; coach plays the hot hand.
2nd, that is silly to assume Ramo is lazy. No one gets to the NHL by being lazy. He may have misunderstood the question, or he may have flat out lied. Goalies do research, but so do the video guys. The video and scouting people give reports and the goalies glean what they want from it. Ramo is not being lazy, so chill.
Ramo isn't a bonafide #1, but being lazy is not somethng I'd accuse him of.
