As far as the pre-season and this season, all three goalies have been crappy, period.
Hartley gave more chances to Ramo and Hiller, so I would argue Ramo and Hiller have "outplayed" Ortio as being crappier.
My point is, Ramo has been equally as brutal if not worse, yet gotten a free pass.
Ramo WAS given the net despite brutal outings, while Ortio was exiled and never given a chance ever.
Fine, maybe Hartley was not "out to get him", but he was out of the way unfair to Ortio.
And do not twist my words.
I blame the GM for loading up with three goalies, not necessary mean I blame him for keep up Ortio.
He should have never re-signed Ramo if he had decided to roll with Hiller and Ortio.
Or perhaps he should have traded one of them away before giving Ramo that contract.
Too many options rather than starting the season with 3 goalies.

Let's not forget the eerily similar (to this season) call up to end last season where he let in 9 goals in two games.
You can't just choose 4 games during one call up and call him proven. Including those games WITH the rest of his games, he hasn't been that good.
Ramo hasn't gotten a "free pass," the guy got sent down to the AHL.
You get chances by earning your spot. Ortio has yet to do so. Ramo has what is called a "body of work." Worthwhile prospects force the issue. They aren't handed the reigns when they've let in 19 goals in their last 4 starts. Doesn't mean he's garbage but it certainly shows he hasn't earned anything.
