He had two this year, and he might get two more. That's not enough to prove or disprove anything, especially with a young goalie.

Yes, he had 2 this year and he was pretty awful both times. Like much, much worse than either Hiller or Ramo were at that time, and they were playing their worst hockey of their careers.
I've been hoping Ortio would finally figure it out, but if he can't grab the job with the situation that happened to start the year, then I doubt he ever will. He's had problems with the start to seasons, and has often taken multiple weeks to get in game shape. You can't have that in the NHL. Your goalies need to be ready from day 1. It's the same reason I want to move on from both Hiller and Ramo.
He's had moments where he looks like the 2nd coming of Kipper. Then he has moments where he looks like the 2nd coming of "Red Light" Racicot. If he shows up this time around and stinks, he's done as far as I'm concerned.
