I agree, I think it should be Ramo next game. How's he going to find his game when he's just sitting there?
Okay you guys need to stop ******** on MacDonald because it's getting ridiculous. Way too early in the season to be handing King Ramo the Crown. At least wait until he earns the damned thing.
Ramo was also really good, except for when Ovechkin was shooting, and except for every time someone deked a little bit like on the break away or in the shootout.
MacDonald had... one "bad" goal from Santorelli which all of us could've saved apparently because we know to go into the butterfly.
Giving the puck away accounts for more goals against this season than MacDonald not being good enough.

So only goals scored on MacDonald are stoppable where as Ramo could've done absolutely nothing different.
The goal scored by Weise was a cross ice pass from Richardson. Anytime those are stopped, they're considering HUGE saves.
Richardson's pass was also cleaner than Ovechkin's "gorgeous" pass, which Backstrom had to pull back at first into proper shooting position because it was in front of him.
If there's a bad goal there, it's the one on Ramo because Ramo had way more time to get into position.
There is clear selection bias here. You can't just take Ramo's most stoppable goal and MacDonald's most unstoppable goal and use that as evidence of anything.
FlamesFinnishStarter mentioned three goals that he believed were bad ones on MacDonald's part (I'm guessing Santorelli's first, Gaborik's goal and Anisimov's goal), and probably none of them were the one you have posted up there.
He said "two bad goals in a row."
Weise scored the goal after Santorelli.

Not that Gaborik's goal matters anyway. The puck deflected to Gaborik who got in behind both the defense and MacDonald. Ramo wasn't going to stop that one either.
Maybe Ramo wouldn't have kicked a long-range slapshot with no traffic right into the slot, though. This is why it was a weak goal.
What do you think training camp was for?
Joey MacDonald was the worst of the three goaltenders in camp, and has done nothing to warrant being the starter of this team outside of being a familiar face and vetran presence (sounds familiar).
We all know what MacDonald brings to the table. He is a career .900 SV% goaltender that has had plenty of opportunity to solidify himself in the NHL as a starter over the years. Atleast with Ramo there is the potential for more, and although he is still a relative unknown at this level, he has outperformed MacDonald from day one here in Calgary.
Listen, I love MacDonald's attitude and character but at this point he is nothing more than a career backup who at best will win you .500 of his starts.
Please explain how he could of deflected it anywhere else. Because you really cant on a shot like that.
Use your paddle/pad in combo, chip it into the corner. Only works if you are prepared to shift your body a little while making the save. It's the technique that Kipper always used.
I actually found an article on it so you don't have to take it from a guy who has never played organized ice hockey before.
Personally, I think more anger should be directed at Glencross for his uninspired and lazy plays so far this young season than at either goaltender. Sure both Ramo and Macdonald could have been better, but without horrific giveaways and lazy swiping stick plays the likes of which Glencross has been guilty of, many of the scoring chances are nullified.

Yea that was a very weak play by him, but knowing him he will get called on it an won't let it happen again. I think GlenX and Hudler are trying to hard to be Iggy and Tangs right now, they look like they are trying to play someone elses game when they settle down I think it will be fine.
Oh I have no doubt he'll get it together, I am just so tired of lazy plays that we've seen from the "Country club" Flames of the past that seeing even a couple games of a player looking disinterested makes me rage out. Scoreface is better than those plays and he needs to step it up and show some leadership, especially this season.
