On any given night Halak or Elliot can look like the the second coming of Glen Hall or Jacques Plante. However on another night either, but especially Halak, can look like Phil Myre or Ed Staniowski. The inconsistency is what bothers me.
Griff do you REALLY trust either of these goalies to be good enough for the Note to make a deep run in the playoffs? I still don't. Even last night Halak got very lucky several times and as usual he gave up a lot of fat rebounds.
Or put another way, if you list the forwards, the defensemen and the goalies as separate groups, which would say was the strongest group and which would you say was the weakest? I would definitely say the goalies are the weakest of those three groups.
The only way we get to the Cup Finals is if Halak 1) stays healthy 2) plays solid, consistent, near lights out for the long post season, AS HE DID IN MONTREAL.
That's it. Forget about Elliott as a #1 for the answer for the long haul, ain't gonna happen.
