He deserves some credit for helping the Flames get hot when they did. Elliot was playing average to above average when the Flames got hot mid season. Flames were one of the top teams in the league during that stretch. So what does that tell you?
If Elliot had given them at least average goaltending in the playoffs, I certainly don't think they would have been swept. He fell apart in the playoffs and was like a leaky faucet. Not putting all the blame on him, but it's pretty tough to win a series with the goaltending he gave the Flames

They basically lost 4 one goal games (EN goals aside)
Brian Elliott had a .880 save percentage
Average goal tending does more than prevent a sweep, average goal tending likely puts Calgary in the drivers seat
