Ramo playing 12 straight games and being tired is reasonable. Kipper was an anomaly of a goalie being able to play 65+ games; this is why he was a fantasy favourite despite the flames being a mediocre at best team. Players like Keith, Doughty, Gio, Ekblad, are all on a different level. If your getting regular playing time in the NHL you're a very gifted athlete; being able to step beyond that is being apart of the upper echelon verging on olympic pedigree. Ramo being tired after getting ridden hard and relied upon is commendable and its a godsend he didn't show signs of fatigue sooner.
**I say Olympic Pedigree based on all athletic disciplines( and medals awarded) being equal.*****
Good thing Hiller realizes he has potentially millions on the line as a 1B Goalie.
