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

Maybe we can coax Kipper out of retirement.

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.

After sleeping on and coming to terms with last night's game I would say play Gillies. Nothing to lose.

Go with Gillies, he's probably super pumped after watching the new Fast and Furious movie. Use that adrenaline.

That's a tough one. I'd probably go Chad Johnson.

Default Should Johnson or Elliott Start Game 4?

Johnson. You put the hope in Johnson that he can go on a December-like run.

Elliott has lost 2 of the 3 games on bad goals.

He should be done as a Flame. He was an awful goalie for half the season, and he's been awful for the playoffs. He flat out lost his team 2 playoff games.

I'm sick to my stomach for the team. Elliott has proved this year that he is not a starting goalie.

I don't know why they ever switched from the win and you're in strategy, when it was working.

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.
