LOL... totally agree. I was expecting some blue line muffin of a shot that went five hole.
I love the comments about "hugging the post"... total ignorance about the position and sport. The people commenting that was a weak goal are probably the same people who warm up their goalie in beer league by taking clappers on the blue line or try Gordon Bombay triple deke.
EDIT: If anything, that first goal is more on him than the tip IMO. He had a clean look, was too deep initially, didn't get his feet set when he had an opportunity, and then dropped his blocker. I don't expect Ramo or Hiller to make that stop, but Elliott didn't give himself much of a chance. Making a save on that Hickey tip would be like winning a hand of Texas Holdem with a 2-7. But hey, let's just say the guy can't stop a beach ball because someone needs a scapegoat.
