			Johnson. Like in a game when you get down 3-0 early, you make the goalie change to try to spark the team.  
 
They need a change of scenery back there, not more of the same. May backfire, but Elliott isn't going to suddenly flip a switch for 4 straight either.

			Not Elliott.  
 
Johnson is the only hope as a reset to this series.

Pretty much this.
 
Rare situation where giving a young goalie some playoff experience would be a relatively low risk move.
 
If you put Elliott in the next game, you'd just know the team would start being all nerves towards the end of the game if they had the lead because of what happened tonight.

			Elliot will be in I don't think there's faith in Johnson. Even a shaky Elliot would beat Johnson, reason why he won't be a Flame next year

			Elliott has let in a suspect goal(s) in every game this postseason IMO. Its time for Johnson to get a start

			It makes no difference. Series is over so just go through the motions one more time so you can get to the golf course as quickly as possible Flames. It appears to be your end goal anyway.

			Give Chad Johnson the net. To continue with Brian Elliott would be the true definition of insanity. We've made no roster changes and it has resulted in 3 different losses. It's time to see if Chad Johnson of November can make a reappearance. If Elliott isn't coming back then we owe him nothing and need to try something different that can result in a win.

			Honestly, just play Gilles. 
 
After the last two games, there is no possible way a single player in that room has any faith in Elliott, and Johnson already shot any belief in him late in the regular season.  So what the hell, give the kid a chance.

			Johnson looked like sheeeat down the stretch and the team didnt play with much confidence in front of him. Elliot makes you hold your breath on every shot/scrum right now. 
 
I'll take door number 3 with Gillies - because why the fawk not.
