With Berra playing so well it is more likely that Ortio will need some starts to stay "fresh" since it appears the back ups won't be seeing much time behind Berra.
This is my issue with Keeping MacDonald. The Flames instead of rotating starts in both the NHL (Berra and Ramo) and AHL (Ortio and Broissoit) and developing equally, have decided that the three tiered development system is more favorable. I disagree of course.
Saying that, I'm just a fan with no real monetary stock in these players.
Just sucks as you now have a log jam in two important spots because of one goalie.
MacDonald eating a spot with the Flames and Berra eating a spot on the farm even though he appears good enough to play up in Calgary pushing Ortio and Broissoit up and down between Alaska and abby.
Bah, whatever. I guess we will see how it all shakes down by new years.
