You've missed how crappy Ortio has been. He was outplayed by Hiller and Ramo last season, the preseason, and this season.
He sat for 8 regular season games. 8 games, 6 losses, given to the two guys who had actually earned their spots. Then, they sent down Ramo, keeping Ortio. He went and played worse than the guy who got sent down. A guy who has proven he can play in the league was sent down after 3 games. Ortio played worse and was sent after 2.
In the end, if you want to blame the GM for keeping Ortio up so long, do it. But 8 games between guys who earned their spots is not a long time, and not playing the guy who has yet to prove he even MIGHT be better than either of the two over the past 2 years doesn't mean the coach is "out to get him".
