No one will ever say this team didn't bring its best most if not every night this season. Less talent is less talent. Hard work is a great equalizer but not a substitute.
That said I felt that Karri Ramo played well enough to earn a few starts earlier in the year, but the team kept throwing Berra in game after game for an extended stretch. Have we given any pause as to where this team might have wound up had Berra had a much shorter leash, and was that part of the plan? Hard to argue today with getting a second for Reto even if he does pan out as a decent NHL'er in a few years.
