Can anyone explain why Hartley doesn't give Bennett a shift in overtime after the way he played tonight?
If we're going to have a goalie play deep in his net and hope the puck hits him, we may as well call up Gillies. He takes up more space than Hiller.
Seriously, I hope Ortio gets the opportunity to find his game. Splitting practice time and being a scratch for several games and then being thrown in is not the way to build a guy's confidence or get him into a groove. I think he's the guy though.
Hope Hiller is not badly hurt but since Hartley is so stubborn, there may be a silver lining to him being out for a while.
