Elliot did suck last night, but the whole team in front of him from about 15 minutes in the second period onwards sucked and choked big time. It's like first 35 minutes, they were relentless in their fore-checking and they were up 4-1. Once all that fore and back-check stopped and they're trying to do their neutral zone passes and their fancy passing, that's when you know they're screwed. You can do that in the regular season, but this is the playoffs FFS! They had the whole third period to figure that out and they frickin got Trumped - like HUGE!
