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.

I wouldnt say the heat were struggling as they had a lot of scoring from all the young kids at the begining of the season. But Ortio has been a big factor behind the teams success for sure.
