I like the tandem of Hiller / Ramo and still think Ramo is a useful push to Hiller. The other night when Hiller got pulled and Ramo went in, I thought he played pretty well actually. I think people think our goaltending is worse than it really is just because it seems like it has been the weakest part of the team so far. They've put in some good efforts, and Ramo can hold his own. Additionally, sometimes defensive gaffs are being mistaken for poor goaltending in difficult situations by fans. I have seen some missed coverage when either goalie is in net, and then in the GT the goalies are being blamed for the goal.
Leave Ramo until you know what you're going to do in the summer. He's a great stop gap and is better starting in the A than on a bench in the NHL (like Jiri said).
