Anybody but Elliott for me. Gillies for the experience opportunity sounds good.
Recognizing a limited sample size. We have the last (17th) ranked goalie in the playoffs this year. Oilers have the 3rd ranked goalie. The GSAA is very telling. Elliott has given up 4 more goals than league average for number of shots faced and Talbot has saved 3 goals more than league average for number of shots faced.
If we had Talbot level goaltending in this series we would have given up 7 fewer goals and be leading 3-0 in the series!
I cannot believe our misfortune with goalie signings. Elliott was 0.930 SAA in regular season and 0.921 in playoffs last year. Does make me wonder a bit about our goalie coach.
Blues really got it right with Jake Allen over Elliott it would seem.
