2014-15 report cards: Joni Ortio's season

Next up to receive his report card: a guy who played six NHL games all season, but is looking to get a whole lot more next year.

Once upon a time, the Calgary Flames had the most steady goaltending in the league. Nobody played more hockey than Miikka Kiprusoff in between lockouts, but age and wear and tear and contract status eventually caught up to him, and so, we fared Kipper well, knowing his reincarnation was already among us.

Joni Ortio is the same height as Kiprusoff. Same weight. From the same town.
