Not at all. I'm selling last year as part of who Bishop is, not some outlier. That's all.
Is anybody here stoked on Elliott for his last 3 years prior to this one? I don't think anyone is dying for an Elliott/____ tandem because he was such an incredible tandem goalie 3/4 years. Even if you don't buy Elliott as a legitimate top starter (I don't) it's funny to see how differently people talk about "one bad season" (or one exceptional season) depending on the player. Elliott, Mrazek, Bishop, even MAF before the playoffs started.
And the only reason I don't include his season 5 years ago is because he only played 22 games. Played well in them though.
