I dunno this is a pretty important game in terms of lottery seeding. Him losing tonight is positive in terms of draft position.

The same coach who played Ramo in back-to-back games while rotting Ortio on the bench?

Our goalie rotation while we still had a chance at the playoffs really has absolutely nothing to do with our goalie rotation while we're assured of missing.

It doesn't seem that irrational. What does seem irrational is people's absolute seething HATRED of Hiller. Now that's irrational.
I don't expect Hartley to EVER ride a young inconsistent goalie as hard as he rode Ramo this year. He didn't even like picking a #1 goalie last year and people are surprised he's alternating goalies this year? This is how he works, nothing shocking about it at all.
Bottom line is that Treliving has gone on record saying Ortio is going to get the bulk of the starts. That is what people want, that is what they're going to get. So where's the problem again? That Ortio isn't starting 100% of the games? That was never a realistic expectation.
