I don't think I've ever seen a goalie do a better job at completely losing a game for his team the way Elliott did in Game 3. I'd place that game, and honestly Game 2 as well entirely on Elliott. You can't give up 6 awful games in back to back playoff games. Goalies can't do it, because if they do - well, we saw what happened.
So it wasn't so much that I was missing your point, as it was that I was making the counter point that games 2 and 3 were "all" on Elliott. That's just the way it is for a goalie. It's a hell of a position, and one heck of a burden to carry - but he didn't deliver anything close to a passable performance, and if the goalie doesn't at least do that, then nothing else matters.
