Which is weird since the guy has only played two games. They have Pasi Nurminen (who is a coach and hasn't played in years) as the backup right now because Ortio hasn't been able to get there quick enough. It's great that Ortio is connected with the national team, but I don't understand how it happened. Maybe he'll be there just to warm the bench.

The whole situation with Ortio is weird. He's not good enough to even be the back up in Abbotsford but he's good enough to start in Finland's top league and now be on their national team?
He didn't play that badly when he got a chance with the Heat but he rarely got a chance. I'm wondering about our Heat coach.
