Colorado Avalanche goalie Reto Berra has quietly become a legitimate NHL goal tender, a man who might not be an elite goalie or even the top goalie, but one who’s at least on par with James Reimer of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
That may not seem like a big compliment. However, you have to remember that coming into this season, Berra wasn’t even sure what job he’d have. After Calvin Pickard‘s impressive play last season, head coach Patrick Roy stated the two would come into training camp and fight for the job as Semyon Varlamov‘s backup.
