My 2nd star would go to Ramo. One of his best games for us by a long shot; better than his dual-shutouts in November.

Great write up!

I too was waiting for the other shoe to drop in the 3rd when they came out in full defend mode. Huge goal by Bouma to get that insurance, which was certainly needed.

I agree it seems Hartley wants Ramo to secure the position inbetween the pipes. Which makes me happy as I just trust his compete level more than Hiller.

And finally, props to Matt Stajan. The guy has solidified that 4th line and always seems to control the puck and play when they're on the ice. Seeing him protect the puck deep is a thing of beauty.

Avs got a bunch of gimme games coming up here. This win was absolutely huge, especially doing it in regulation.

5/6 on this home stand? I thought we were 5/8

St. Louis 0/2
Philly 2/2
Columbus 1/2
Colorado 2/2

^^^I'm caught that too, but he said 5 of the last 6, which is accurate. 5 of 8 overall.

Hopefully add 2 more on Wednesday and make it a successful home stand.

I agree with your thoughts on Ramo. I think that the Flames look to him as the pony of choice on the ride to the playoffs...and maybe beyond.
