I just wish we had a playoff goalie.
Elliott is playing fine this year. Not sure why you would want someone else
HE HAS BEEN FINE EVERY YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WAS NEVER A GOALIE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the exclamation marks you can muster will not rewrite history. He has either been hurt, benched or had some stinker games (along wit some good games) in previous playoffs. He has never played this well, this consistently. Do you honestly think Armstrong and Hitchcock would have gone looking for a playoff goalie (Miller) had Elliott been "fine"? They saw what everyone else saw. That is a good netminder that couldn't put it all together for the playoffs. Pretend otherwise all you want and put all the exclamation marks you want. The reality is Elliott has been suspect as a playoff goalie for the past 4 years (one of those with Ottawa where he went 1-2 with a .855 save %).
How about we just be glad he's figured it out and is playing so well? No need to pretend he was just a misunderstood Patrick Roy, waiting to be noticed by everyone but you...
Go Elliott!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Blues !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You bonehead.....this is the same Brian Elliott the Blues have always had. The team in front of him is much better, but he's the same guy.
LS is a Johnny-come-lately to Elliott' side, but read his post.....he got it right.
I hate to say it, but I cheered when Allen went down and took the playoff goalie picture out of the hands of Armstrong and Hitchcock.....BECAUSE THEY GOT IT WRONG EVERY YEAR.
When can agree on the "go Blues" sentiment......but you have been forked up about the goaltending situation in the last 5 years from the get go and you still are......even in the face of overwhelming evidence against you.
