Yan86 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I find it funny that the flames thought they solidified their goaltending position with Elliott. I guess the blues defense made Elliott look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Seems like quite the hot & cold 'tender. Wonder who does worse with their new GT-project..Cow or Hogtown? Both Elliott & Andersen may amount to smeared lipstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 so far seems new goalies are not doing so well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 yeah, this singular game has shown me that he's massively overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Not sure who was rating him that high outside of flames fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightFlush Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 People really need to think before they decide to start a conversation . you don't just walk up to someone in the street and say (insert original post) seriously its not that different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombastik der Teutone Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 maybe johnson will play him out ..he was pretty solid with the sabres last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocolocci Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Maybe the Flames Defense sucks? St.Louis Defense is definetly 2 leagues over the Flames D.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsofthands Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 definitely certain teams make goalies look good, but its a little early for stuff like this. Thats why I think guys who play on great defensive teams like Quick are overrated, and guys who have to play on shaky team deserve more credit. I.e.

on the cycle Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I like Elliott, I think he's good but he was playing on the Blues behind a great defence. I feel the same way about Quick and think that a guy like Schneider (still my favourite) is vastly underrated in comparison to Quick. Lundqvuist is overrated too. I keep hearing the Canucks goaltending has to get better but not once did I think our goaltending was an issue last season, in fact it was a strength.

PlanB Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Let's put it this way, the best thing about Elliott from a Flames perspective is that he's only on a 1yr/2.5mil contract. Coilers made him look silly last night. His own team didn't help him much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yeah, let's evaluate his goaltending over 1 game with his new team with a new coach and a new system. By that logic, Auston Matthews will score 4000 goals if he plays 1000 games in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stammer- Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 give it a few more games, he'll HEAT up, i'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 He is better than he showed last night but not nearly as good as he is made out to be. He's barely a number one. Can't remember who but I read one pundit explaining why the Flames would be so much better this year now that they have a good goaltender. He then supported his claim by listing Elliott's stats from last year. His stats with the Blues. Yeah, it don't work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Elliott has always been an average, sometimes bordering on good, goaltender who benefited greatly from Hitchcock's trap system in St Louis. So a poor season on a team like Calgary isn't going to be all that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Elliott & Andersen may amount to smeared lipstick. Exactly right, he's just a on/off guy. When he's on he is lights out shutouts or 1 out. He also might thrive on the competition, which he has none of right now. It's his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
