No, this was one of the worst goals of the series. Soft bad angle shot from the boards with very little screen that was easy to predict, and Elliott still manages to find a way to push the puck to the front of the goal. Just inexcusable.
Elliott didn't have to do anything to stop this goal, just stand there, let the puck hit him so it either sticks to his gear or drops in front of him, where Monahan was looking to pick it up and go the other way.
Instead he for some reason puts the puck to his right, right to the front of the net. The rest is bad luck, but it's bad luck created by bad goaltending.
