Comments on: Brian Elliott’s strong argument for Blues’ No. 1 job: three shutouts in a row http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/27/brian-elliotts-strong-argument-for-blues-no-1-job-three-shutouts-in-a-row/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 15:03:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: lostpuppysyndrome http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/27/brian-elliotts-strong-argument-for-blues-no-1-job-three-shutouts-in-a-row/comment-page-1/#comment-49325 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:21:39 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=137857#comment-49325 Go Blues. If there’s a team I want to win the Cup this year (the odds aren’t in favor for the Jets), it’s the Blues. Heck, they’ve been in the league long enough. Plus it’s another team that’s won the Cup more recently than Toronto.

He signed him to a two-year extension, right? And at a rate that, say, the Capitals would be drooling over – only $1.8m.

It’s not going to happen – Hitch clearly wants to keep this tandem for the future – but his system could make a lot of guys look this good, not just Elliott. It’s worth keeping in mind, especially if he goes with Elliott in the playoffs and the guy puts together a hot streak while everyone’s watching.

Or he could just keep the guy and have the most absurdly broken pairing in NHL goaltending. Good problem to have.

Both Blues goalies are not even making tough stops. At the end you figure “of course they shut them out”
Rarely the D allows guys into front banging away, rarely is the initial shot tough that whoever is in net can’t control the rebound. They are making it look easy

We have the best tandem in franchise history.(going back to 1969)These two work extremely well together. I say let them continue to support and push each other to accomplish even greater achievements.(Like the Stanley Cup)

Very impressive.
