If you actually looked at Elliott's playoff numbers you would see that outside of this year and his first as a starter in Ottawa his playoff numbers are actually really good.
09/10, first year starter, 2nd in the NHL and he struggled
11/12, he only had a .904 save percentage, but had a 2.37 GAA and his best quality start numbers of any playoff year for him.
12/13, he didn't make that .920 bar, but I'll take .919 with a sub-2 GAA anyday
14/15, he played a whole 26 minutes but you felt it was necessary to count it
15/16, he had a great playoff
16/17, we all know what happened.
Another thing to point out, that 09/10 Ottawa team had a defense group featured a rookie Erik Karlsson, Chris Phillips, a 34 year old Andy Sutton, Anton Volchenkov, Chris Campoli and Matt Carkner. That is not a defensive group that should have been playing in the playoffs, it was on par with our 2015 playoff team, if not worse.
