I'm sure you're being tongue-in-cheek but who actually said he was terrible?
yes I was being tongue-in-cheek and was referring to these...

If you're wondering how Ortio is doing (& you're not listening to this pre-season masterpiece), the #Flames G is giving up massive rebounds.

Yea... Ortio isn't bringing the kind of game he needs to if he wants to bump Hiller from the big club
Since when did we get all these D prospects that we want to stick with the big club? This is nuts. I don't even care because which ever one makes it will be hard pressed to stay there with all these guys knocking on the door.
Love it.

I'm still pulling for Wotherspoon, but if someone else EARNS it I will be thrilled!

No kidding! Feels like yesterday where it was Wotherspoon then a big drop off.
That's because people didn't realize how good Culkin and Kulak were, though.
Very true. That's why I love training camp though, it's a good chance for guys like that to showcase themselves for people that otherwise don't take notice
I really do belive that there's no way Ortio loses out a spot. The real battle lies between Hiller and Ramo. And I have an imaginary dollar on Hiller winning that battle.
I think if Ortio stays Hiller is the probable other goalie. More experienced and a tad steadier. IMO more similar in style to Ortio.
Just think that we now have Andersson, Kylington, Hickey, Morrison, Kulak and Culkin. All of them have been very impressive in limited appearances at various levels.
That doesn't count Spoon, Sieloff, Rafikov, Kanzig, Gilmour, Bruce or anyone else I might have forgot.
Amazing how a weakness can be turned into a major strength in almost no time.

Same with our lack of quality centres.
Monahan / Bennett as franchise centres in basically a calendar year? #### yes.
