Which is why Ortio will continue to get plenty of starts down the stretch.

Also, let's remember that Ortio has been a member of the Flames organization longer than Hiller! For goalies, most times they're not starting they would likely consider it a disservice. There's only a handful of games left to boot.

Under certain conditions I would agree. But this presumes that he three healthy Flames goalies are jockeying for position in the lineup right now, which I very much doubt. I think it is more likely that the coaching staff has already outlined a playing schedule, and all three know exactly where they stand. As such, no, I don't believe Ortio, Hiller, or Backstrom are the least bit bothered when they do not start a game in which they were not scheduled to play.

How can Trevy have confidence that Ortio can handle 25 games if Ortio has never played 25 games? Also keep in mind your backup might be your starter in the event that your goalie get injured. So how do you know that your backup can handle a 5:1 ratio if he's never played as much?

Why does it matter at this point? Ortio is only 24-years-old, and will not be the Flames starter at the beginning of next season, if at all.

We're going in circles. You say there's no harm, I'm saying there is. Just agree to disagree.

I can't agree, because you are wrong.
You are responding irrationally and with incredible short sight to a situation that has not yet played itself out. I and others continue to point to very good reasons why it would make sense to start Hiller in tonight's game in stead of Ortio, and yet you remain obstinately committed to this notion that somehow this is unequivocally a huge mistake. It doesn't make any sense.
