In all likelihood you and the other rationalozers in the crowd thought the same thing. But Bob didn't make it and his explanation of following a minor league rotation makes little sense.
Which is why of the respected Calgary media are confused. It's why many of the posters are confused.
I can even buy an argument like "it's an odd decision, but it's one game let's not worry to much about it." But the "you guys are a bunch of dummies for thinking this is an odd decision. Let me explain to you (in a very irrational way) why it's not an odd decision" arguments are silly.

I believe it is true that a goalie plays better when on a roll, which is why Ortio should be given a chance. Besides, Hartley has given the hot goalie the crease at periods before, which is why this move is strange and contradictory to his phrase about "earned and given"
