Elliott was just fine last night. He made some great saves. And, yes, the game before he let in one real softie. He was also guilty of a bad puck handle, which happens to goalies who are good with the puck, like he is normally.
Johnson has been better over the season, no doubt, and his last three losses were against good teams. But he didn't look especially sharp in those losses. Got the hook in one.
You play Elliott for now. What's the message to him and the team if you go to Johnson after Elliott won 3 in a row and Johnson lost 3? Basically that you don't trust Elliott in net.
