The Calgary Flames brought a mixed-bag of a roster to Denver for tonight's match-up with the Colorado Avalanche. It featured a bunch of forwards who'll be in the NHL, basically an AHL defense, and Joni Ortio in net.
If Ortio wants to be in the NHL this season, he sure did a good job making an impression on the coaching staff. He made 35 saves in a 1-0 Flames victory over the Avalanche.
THE RUNDOWN
This will be quick, because the game wasn't streamed anywhere and I didn't fly to Denver. Thankfully, the fine people at Sportsnet 960 The Fan broadcast the game with the magic of radio.
