If Ramo is ready the best thing to do is to send Ortio back down and start making plans about how to bring him back up to the NHL.
If he leaves confident and on a winning streak, I think that's better than leaving on a low note. He's coming back. He's going to be a goalie for us next year. I know playoffs are on the line but Hiller and Ramo are both capable goalies and I think some patience and sticking to the plan would do us well.
I think going 3-0 on an injury call-up is a better story than going 3-1 and being sent down because you lost. But it's all semantics I suppose.
At the end of the day, you watch them in practice and you pick the one you think is most on his game and capable of producing a W. Everything else is just the minutiae between the lines.
