Brossoit has a save percentage of 88.6% on the season so he really doesn't get a lot of slack from me. Sure in the games he plays, not every goal is his "fault"... but with that type of bottom of the barrel save percentage... the team could and should look at another option as well. There's no reason not to look and see what Ellis can deliver... especially since he's not an 18 year old goalie.
Ellis turns 24 next month and I think he deserves a game or 2 as he's looked good in the AHL (at least as good as Brossoit) and overall Brossoit has looked average and inconsistent at best.
The team has no issues sitting out forwards and dmen and trying out different line combos and pairings... it should certainly be the same in net when a goalie isn't playing up to a reasonable level.
I think its important to look at what happened in the game instead of replacing it with numbers.
Numbers in and of themselves dont tell accurate story all the time.
As for Ellis...I dont think he is the answer. I would like to see an experienced backup here.
