A goaltender needs to earn the benefit of the doubt. If that goal squeaks through a guy who's putting up a .920+ sv%, then you just need to shrug your shoulders and move on. Like you said, it happens. Elliott has been letting in a softie every start though, and he's got an .889 sv% on the season, so he's not allowed to flub shots like that. He hasn't earned that leeway.
