Kahvi on HF boards give a bit of a update on Ramo.
Quote:
There was a short interview with Karri Rämö who has signed with Jokerit in today's Helsingin Sanomat
Quick translation of some selected parts, hopefully not much is lost in tranlation.
Quote:
"In the beginning [of my Flames career] there were comparisons to Kipper every day, and he was missed, but slowly it started fading", Rämö says after a Jokerit practice session.
It must have been difficult to be seen as a Kipper replacement, when one of the best goalies of the world had spent nine years with the club
"It didn't bother me, but it had an effect on the management", Rämö says and implies that the Calgary Flames went crazy over Kipper [to me this sounds like its said in a positive way, like they really liked him]
"It was fun to listen to those stories where they were remembering him".
"Anyone who tries to step into Kippers boots has a tough job to do. They'll need to search for a long time if they want a guy that's his caliber", Rämö says.
He also says he doesn't blame Donskoi for his injury as those things happen, and gives (or actually the reporter gives) a lot of credit for Leafs for his rehabilitation.
