In his other four games, he allowed four goals total, including a shutout.
As far as the AHL goes, he was named rookie goalie of the year the season before last... average goalies don't get that award. Plus, his numbers in the AHL are actually considered good in terms of AHL numbers.
Gillies has proven nothing as a pro. I'm sorry, but I'm still of the opinion that Ortio's the better goalie right now.
EDIT - beaten to all these points. I suck.

Difficult to argue otherwise.
But some of us think Gillies' potential is enough to tip the scales the other way.
