Please hurry back, Jaro.

Brian Elliott has the world's largest 5-hole right now and has a sterling .830 Save Percentage in the 5 starts he's had since Halak went down. We're absolutely dying with this piece of trash in net.

The Blues start every game in a 2-0 hole before the horn even goes off and that will be the case until they can get Halak back in there. It's clearly a mental thing with elliott - he just cannot do the job when he's the lead dog.

Nah. When Brian Elliott is a backup, he's actually good. Cassel sucks even as a backup; he just had Randy Moss around to disguise the suck.

Brian Elliott is the Earl Morrall of NHL Goalies.

Except Elliott's legit as a backup or when he splits time with someone.

Last season was a fluke, perhaps, but he shouldn't be doing this badly. Halak sooner rather than later should claim the #1 role while moving Elliott to a backup role. Halak's at least shown that he can stand on his head when it counts(with Montreal) while Elliott has shown repeatedly within the last 2 seasons that he is shit without anyone pushing him for a few games.
