I've been meaning to ask for a while... why does our top PP unit have two lefties on D and our second unit have two righties? Is there any reason besides supposed chemistry? I mean, we wouldn't want to wreck our vaunted PP, but maybe it's something to try changing.

3.8 isn't nearly 5 million. It's 3.8 million.

He has gone above and beyond this game. I really don't know what some of you expect from a goalie who has, in his career, been at best an above average goalie prone to hot streaks.

There is a reason that some saves are amazing and elite (the ones "he isn't supposed to stop", which is a ridiculous qualification IMO)...because amazing/elite goalies are the ones that make them. The 3 or 4 in the league that do are making north of $7 million per season.

That's what's so frustrating about Ramo when he let's the easier shots in.

Sorry....you are dead wrong on your criticism of the last goal. Just admit you are wrong.

As fun as this game has been SN muting the crowd is a huge disappointment. This game on CBC would be epic.

LOL @ Ramo apologists.
No goal against Ramo has been soft in the first half of this game.

I'm a goalie sympathizer, no doubt. But I know I'm objective enough to call them out when it is relevant to do so.
