I do. With three goalies on the roster, and Hartley publicly declaring at the beginning of the regular season that Ortio was #3, Ortio should have been glad of a chance to get in some games. It wasn't going to cost him any money or even take him off the NHL roster. And he wouldn't have been stone cold when he finally did get a start.
