If you replay it, he didn't actually accuse Ortio of a soft goal. He actually said (and he's been saying this for a while) that Ortio was playing a
style they are teaching goalies, and he didn't understand or agree with it because if Ortio just stood up in that example, etcetera. He said this a lot about Hiller too, even last year.
Hiller is just way overdoing it this year, but even least year there'd be goals over the shoulder that apparently goalie coaches live with, because of percentages or something. It actually meets with something one of my friends, who's kid is a pretty good Midget age goalie, said about what they are teaching
