Joni 'work horse' Ortio: 25 GP - 19-5-0, 0.930 save %, 2.08 GAA

People will argue that one goalie has a better team in front of him, but if I remember correctly, the Heat were struggling big time before Ortio stepped in and gave them numerous solid performances for them to build on. I might be remembering that wrong though if someone from the farm team board can confirm please.
"Better team in front of him" when the Heat have how many key players in their first or second year pro?

Heat are just straight ballin', yo.
