Ortega put up 7 vs the BC Defense and Hall... Sorry but you can't lay it on the goalie, you can't even lay it on one defender, it's a team game and the defense including the middies have to work as a unit. The face guard can be effective against a team that relies on one or two players, it doesn't work well against a well balanced team. It can also be effective a critical times in the game i.e. short time left in the game or a quarter and you want to deny a player. Not effective verse good teams for the entire game.
