That's pretty impressive considering some of the competition that were in the AHL for goalies this season. John Gibson, Petr Mrazek, Malcolm Subban, Jake Allen. Well done Ortio!
Edit: Just realized it was the all-rookie team, so Mrazek and Allen don't apply. Impressive nonetheless.

Congrats Ortio!! That is awesome.
He will be pushing Ramo next season, looks like we might a #1a and b scenario next season? I would be ok with that until one of the two proves who should get the most starts. but I would rather seen a scenario of the #1 playing 2 or 3 games then 1 for the #2 or #1b.

It's because he's awesome. Finnish goalies are the way to go! If only we could get Kipper to be a goalie coach for us....

I feel like Ramo has already snatched the title of #1... for now. We'll see what happens in the offseason but as it stands now he's our best goalie.

Granlund would have been competitive for a spot too had he been healthy/played longer in AHL?

Based on the pace he was on prior to the Flames call-up and injury, easily.
Might have made a case for the single season franchise points record as well.

I hope this is missing green text as while he had one good game, Ortio has been the reason for most of the Heat wins, including the one where Sven had 5 points. Many others also had career nights that night/weekend. Sven wasn't that good, Rockford just self destructed and the Heat jumped all over it.

Nah, look at those 5-points, it wasn't a dangle-fest or anything. Ortio has had himself a much better season than anyone had hoped for. If he makes similar progress next year he'll be an NHL goalie.
Edit: I shoulda known that Drury would've already set it straight.

Ortio is trending towards becoming an NHL goalie!
I love Finnish goalies!

Congrats Ortio! The Flames goaltending future is looking bright... we still have Gillies coming too!
I would be happy to see a 57/25 split in games next year for Ramo/Ortio.
