Just have to laugh when people try to simplify the last 3 minutes were on Elvis . Never mind the fact that you have Harrington in for Murray , you have Werenski, out for the last 10 minutes , you have a team that tried to sit on a 3-0 lead and quit trying to play offense . Should Elvis have saved one of those goals ? Maybe ... He’s a rookie netminder that played out of his mind the whole game . He provided them a victory in game 3 , he saved 48-52 shots in yesterday’s game . His playoff stats are a sparkling 1.96 Gaa and a .946 save %. Yesterday sucked , and could very well cost us the series , but game 3 , we were down 0-3 , came back and won the game in overtime 4-3 . The narrative wasn’t that Toronto collapsed around here , it was the Blue Jackets made it happen . In reality , Toronto tried to sit on the lead , momentum took over . Same thing last night, except the roles are reversed . You have 2 evenly matched teams , and it comes down to 1 game . I expect Torts to go back with Korpi. I won’t trash talk Korpi, I don’t think he’s remotely as good as Elvis , because he does have a history of making great saves but letting a softy in , but the key will be hopefully Werenski able to play , Murray able to play , and the team playing in front of their goalie , not hanging them out to dry, and playing solid defense , yet counterpunch the crap out of Toronto when they try to push the pace .
