Right. Because the other two were so solid in pre season that Ortio deserved to get frozen out of starts in these first six games right?
Lets not forget either that Ortio also played well last season late into it during their push for the playoffs.
And let's not forget how shakey both Hiller and Ramo have been been THIS year. There's absolutely no reason at all for Ortio to at least get one game so far to prove he has something to offer. You know other than a solid showing in all his pre-season starts.
Always earned, he's earned a shot at a start or two. But nay, stubborn loyalty wins out.
Mind Blowing ignorance my arse.
