The same goes for Ortio: 8-0 with a better GAA and save percentage than Berra had with the Heat (let alone the Flames). Berra has been mariginally better than Ramo or MacDonald but hardly invincible. If Ramo's not going to play, how about giving Ortio a shot? No waiver issues there.
For the Heat watchers out there. What type of game has Blair Jones been playing? Is he in an offensive role (1st/2nd line) or is he producing as a 3rd/4th liner?

I'd like to see him up too as he's a big guy and can skate and obviously has some offense, but if he's having success in an offensive role in Abbotsford, and you bring him up to play on the 4th line, doesn't seem to make much sense.

Is Blair Jones a better option than Backlund or Colborne in the roles they are playing now?

I can just see the outrage on this board if Jones was called up and replaced Backlund in the line up.
