October Elliot is back ladies and gents.

And when did the breakout strategy become for the defenceman to stand with the puck in their own zone while all 3 forwards stand still in the neutral zone?

Elliot. Gaudreau. Brodie. Hamilton. Utter garbage. What the hell

The archaic league can't rationalize calls. Oh we need video proof. Well the dude is ####ing 6'3" and standing on say 1.5" skates and his arms are straight and at a slight upwards angle. Even if, for some god damn reason, the measurement from his shoulder to his head is 2 ft, you're still above the 4 ft net.

Like for #### sakes, the NHL doesn't want to use a god damn brain. This league is horse####. ####ing horse####.

flames need to win in the first 10 min...

the crowd will give him a lift, but if they can't score, ducks will gradually wear them down

Video evidence my ass. How about common sense? They all know he tipped it. His stick is not lower than his shoulder and he's over six feet tall. Unless his neck is 18 inches high it's above the four foot crossbar.

Elliott has let in way too many bad goals so far in this series. Regardless of what happens going forward he is not the goalie to take the Flames to the next level next season. Not sure who they should target but time to let Elliott go.

What I don't understand, why does the NHL have the same old stupid camera angles from 1995? It's 2017!?! There's cheap cameras so small with high megapixels and frame rates that you could placed hundreds above the glass, in the boards, and everywhere else in order to get these decisions right.

I really have to question why Toronto decisions are so secretive and were forced to look at Sportsnet cameras.

As an aside, watching people eating nacho's with cheese and jalapenos at 11 at night. Not only are people going to have nightmares, but there's a very real threat of rampant dutch ovens tonight.
