The point, I believe, was actually quite well thought out. It is fair to compare between Ortio's terrible start and his recent call up, and to declare that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
The other concern I have about assessing Ortio's current play is due to the fact that the Flames have no chance to make the playoffs so the pressure is off in meaningless games. Of course one could also argue that he is playing to salvage a career and that there would still be pressure.
