I really can't agree. Any team that can make the playoffs can make a push like the Ducks had, which really wasn't that much. The Flames IMO did a good job limiting the Ducks offense. Elliott didn't have to make a single difficult save to win us that game.
When I said in the game thread Elliott can't give us 6 saves in OT, I didn't pull that number out of a hat. Elliotts performance since the game was 4-1:
5 saves, goal, 4 saves, goal, 4 saves, goal, 2 saves, goal.
He literally let in the first shot in OT, a bad angle shot from the boards with no screen. That's not on the team. The Flames were the better team tonight, and it wasn't close. This is on Elliott, and Gulutzan for not pulling Elliott.
