I don't understand the Ramo hate, in my opinion, the guy has played quite well considering his limited playing time. Maybe he should have stopped the Krug backhander, but hard to fault him on the first two Bruins goals.

As always with goalies, confidence is the most important factor in their performance. It's hard to be confident when you haven't been given a start in over a month and you haven't won a start in over 2 months. Hartley knows this and he tried to get Ramo's confidence back up a little with back to back starts despite some shaky play in the first start, but with so much at stake in each game, he can't afford to let Ramo figure his game out at the expense of team results.
Hiller is very confident at the moment, hence why he's playing more. He'll give you a couple big saves every game at key moments, which is why the team is winning more with him in net. Hiller isn't perfect, but as long as he's confident he's the more valuable goaltender.

I don't know how many different threads this has to be pointed out in, but a 2 on 0 breakaway goal short handed is far from the goalie's fault. And a slapper screened from one of the hardest shots in the league, come on, not his fault.
Just Krug goal, he should have had. But I still can't believe that people want him run out of town. We finally have a capable backup and people want him traded, I don't get it.

So?? Goalies let in bad goals, heck Hiller has let in a baker's dozen times 2 this year, kipper let em in. I can't believe people are so quick to jettison Rams like this. Remember when he became the first goalie since Vernon to post back to back SO's on the road?? Ramo is a fine back up and would be a sufficient replacement should anything happen to Hiller, especially post trade deadline.

Man Hiller has been beat short side plenty of times this season.
That was a rolling puck, and a good shot to boot. Just because it's a short side goal doesn't make it one he should have. All goalie get beat short side. Happened to kipper quite a bit too. Just sayin...
The thing is Ortio is on a one way next season so at some point Ramo is gone don't get too attached
This. I like Ramo, but he very likely won't be here next season. It's not a matter of getting rid of him because I want to see him gone, I'm weighing how much we need him vs what could we get for him.

When Ramo sets the modern day goals against average record for a season, I'll cut him some shortside slack.

I think it's not so much a matter of running Ramo out of town, it's a matter of seeing the writing on the wall. Ramo is unsigned for next season. Ortio made a case for NHL promotion this season, but didn't stick because we have too many NHL goalies. It seems more likely than not that Ramo will not be here next season. Given that, it would be a bonus to get something for him compared to letting him walk.
Ramo has shown he can be a capable back-up and intermittent starter, and I'm personally fine with him returning next season as a back-up. We'll see what unfolds.
