Hey, Elliot is only 5-1-1 since taking over for Allen.....and he's only stopped 111 of 117 shots. Let's get rid of him.....he sucks.

Elliott does not usually suck during the regular season. In fact, he has a pretty good history of regular season success. He has historically waited until the playoffs to suck... Allen is about the same with a little less history. The problem with both has nothing to do with talent or regular season performance. For both it is all about stepping up and playing well during the playoffs.
I believe you have described the Blues in general.. just saying..
Make no mistake, I don't put the Blues playoff woes on the back of the netminders. They certainly play a role and need to step up much better than they have in the past. The biggest "blame" goes to the core players that have all but vanished when it comes playoff time.
If this team can't figure out how to score and play a full 60 mins of hockey, it isn't going to matter who is between the pipes. Hopefully this long rest and the return of Schwartz will give them a boost.
