If this was the case then I hope how Ramo handled himself is going to be his model this time around. Ramo was a professional, took the demotion, worked on the problems in his game and made the very best when he got another shot. I hope Ortio gets this and comes in ready to work. Its the difference between a real pro and just some kid riding on talent.
If he hasn't learned this lesson then there are a few goalies behind him chomping at the bit for a chance and I'll have no problems if they give it to them.
