I am looking forward to seeing Colborne with Gaudreau. Colborne works hard and goes to the net so he should provide some opportunity for nice passes from Johnny. Go Ortio! I hope the guys play hard in front of him and give the kid a chance.

Surprised you guys aren't nervous about a rookie goalie starting. Pumped to see what he's got, though.

After Hiller's performance last night, how could a rookie do any worse?

Can only speak for me, of course, but I'm hoping Ortio shows something worthwhile that the coaches eventually have to recognize and reward. Hiller has brought stability of a sort, but I just don't trust him long-term, given his penchant for ill-timed bad goals against, and his overall "just be big" style.

That might be the worst fan rendition of the national anthem that I've ever heard. Followed by a bizarre ending...

Yeah.. Hard to argue with that.. I was thinking they'd maybe give him a chance to redeem himself. All I hope is that Ortio is ready. Best case scenario, he makes one of our goalies expendable.

What is wrong with Willie Desjardins' jaw? He's always clenching it and shaking his head around.

I saw Ortio play for Abbotsford back in 2011 and he was so totally impressive. I think he saved over 40 shots that night- the kid has huge potential. Hope his nerves don't get the best of him.

He's Finnish. They don't have nerves.

I hope Burrows never feels fulfilled from an existentialist perspective, and is haunted by the realization in his later years.

Looks like Jones, JG and Backs are a line. Mixed up a bit more than we thought?
