Elliott had about two good months total as a Flame. He had a terrible start, a good February/March, and fell off a cliff in April. The Flames stumbled into the playoffs, winning like two of their last six games, and then Elliott had a legendary awful postseason.
He was unproven as a full season starter before he came here (the one year he played more than 50 games, he was one of the worst goalies in the league statistically), and it showed. With competent goaltending, the Flames win that series.
