So, I guess, visually!
Last year the goaltending made me want to puke in my hat. That definitely included Ramo. Ramo was horrible. He'd let in the most deflating stinkers at the worst time, game after game. He had great reflexes but his positioning was like a pee wee goalie.
This year the goaltending has been solid.

Besides the first game, Elliott has looked good and makes the saves he should. I don't think he is the kind of goalie that will carry a team (and to be fair, there are probably only 4 or 5 of those in the league), but I think he at least gives the team a chance to win every night.
Last year, there were quite a few times when the Flames outplayed the other team but lost because of goal tending. You just never knew what you would get on a given night, but Elliott is pretty consistent if only good and not great.
