His coach seems like a guy who doesn't change winning line-up. Coach Suikkanen keeps players accountable and credits for good plays. So I think Ortio will continue in net until he loses. There's rumors TPS might acquire Jani Hurme from Sweden and his acquisation would damage Ortio's Elite League minutes significantly. Ortio gets good minutes in 2. highest league, juniors and U20-team so it's not big deal not to play in Elite League eventhough it's cool for us fans and very promising too to see so young goalie to make impact in big league and get a win.
Goals he allowed in:
1. Slapshot from point just over the left pad. Without traffic in front he would have catched it with glove.
2. One-timer from right side beats him again on glove side. Shooter has the hardest shot in the league and got all of it in this shot, potentially 100 mile per hour and just under crossbar. Ortio challenged shooters aggressively in both goals but his glove hand wasn't quick enough this time.
3. 3 on 3 attack, defence gives too much space for attackers, puck takes a weird bounce on blocked shot, Ortio loses the sight to puck and at the end finds it behind his back.
Official highlights are blocked outside Finland I think but TPS has
channel in youtube and they'll upload video there.
