and it's all about what have you done for me lately, you know that. He could have stood on his head against SJ, you said it yourself, LA one of the worst Goals For in the league have layed 8 on him in two games

Elliott had an upper body injury before the start of the Sharks series.

I can't comment on the quality of goals he's given up (I haven't watched). But for a team like the Blues who have goalies that are 1 and 1A, it shouldn't matter who's in between the pipes. That excuse would/will work with the Caps at any point if Holtby should go into the tank. But it holds no water for the Blues.
