Don't get to excuse the bad plays, in an effort to make it seem like a guy is playing better than he is. Hrudey said it too... it's basically saying "aside from the bad plays, he's played great".
Elliott has a problem in the first 10 minutes of his starts. He has now allowed a goal in the first 10 minutes in 7 of his 14 starts, and the 1st goal of the game in 9 of his 14 starts. This is a league where the first goal of the game wins something like 70% of the time... so he's not giving us much of a chance to win.
