So Mac won n1 spot after one game by both goalies. niceat people thinking MacDonald is playing to be shopped. He is playing because he has been better in games and in practice. If Ramo wants to win the starting job he needs to be the better of the 2 in practice and then show it in a game.

There is some serious overreaction going on about the goalie situation. Mac hasn't won the starting job in anyway shape or form nor is him playing a reflection on Ramo being bad. All that has happened is Hartley has liked how Mac has played in practice a little bit more so he was getting the starts. Ramo will have tonight and many other nights to win the starting job. I understand that we are excited about Ramo but for the love of god can we calm down its not like Mac-N-Stack has cost us any games.

I think the biggest problem with joey is that he still hasn't gotten any goals. hopefully ramo can show him how to play hockey tonight 
Disagree. Hartley did say that MacDonald was better in practice.
Um, are we interrupting?
lol what was I doing last night lol
I hope they give him another start, I really liked him in the KHL in the few games I saw. And I think he deserves another start really soon, maybe not the next game but if MacDonald isn't great in the next one then the one after.
Besides, the only goal yesterday you could fault him for was the fifth and even that one was redirected. The four goals in the first and second period were all bad D. Saved a bunch of breakaways, and played solid most of the game.

Ramo looked solid in net last night. I am WAY more confident with him than I am with Joey Stacks. Give this guy some games and let him find his groove.

Setting up the play?
Me too. I was thinking last night that we can really see the difference between a goaltender and a puck stopper with our two goalies. Ramo never made the double-pad stack save, or the leaping stick save, because he was never out of position enough to need to make that kind of save. He didn't give up bad rebounds and he stopped ever shot that wasn't a deflection or cross-crease one-timer. I was very impressed. His composure and battle throughout the game, even when he let some in, were extremely encouraging.

Agree 100%. His fundamentals seem miles ahead of Joeys. If Ramo can emerge as our legit #1, we have ourselves a very capable back-up in Joey StackDaddy.

Ramo was good last night.
Every goal was either a tip or a cross crease pass to an uncovered player.
It would be nice if we gave him the chance to win a starting job against Columbus rather than San Jose and Washington.

Do you believe everything Flames management tells you to believe?
Ramo looked much better against SJ than Joey did in any of his games, better in practice my ass.

Or maybe...Ramo actually did much better in practice to be able to play in the SJ game? He had an excellent game, no doubt about it. I am not questioning anybody because it was impressive that we went 3-0-2 without Cammy, Stajan, and Jones.
Hartley is in charge of the decisions. Whoever he chooses to play in net I am right behind him.

He didn't look that great in Washington - it may have been something as simple as becoming accustomed to a very different N/A game.

Theres no conspiracy here, they were showcasing Joey Mac, its pretty obvious given he has gotten the easier starts.

What conspiracy is here. Only a fool believes what the media and management spews.
Ramo been better training camp and preseason. Your telling me that right now practise is some factor???
Obvious reason is ramo needed time to adjust and time with coaches.

Uhhhhhhhh, ok fine. But I would think that nameless, faceless message board posters like yourself would be a lot higher on that list.
