Something to consider:
Is Elliott the real problem it is he he right goalie for the wrong team?
Do the soft goals from Elliott matter if the flames have 2 more legitimate scoring threats in the top 6?
Backlund, even with 3 points, has looked rough in these playoffs, that line went from being Calgary's best line toaybe their worst between the regular season and playoffs. Backlunday be hurt, but still.
This team is struggling to score and I wonder if that might be a bigger hurdle for the team than the bad goals, the belief that once they are down by a couple that they are out of it.
