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.

I'm actually becoming a Jones fan. For reasons unknown Hartley banished him to the AHL seemingly for good and rather than pout ask for a trade, or become a distraction he's played with a chip on his shoulder and become a great soldier for the Heat organization. I imagine it will be like pulling teeth for Hartley to ever dress him again but at least Jones has taken the high road here.
