Elliott does not play well under pressure
Never
Even when he plays well on paper (Kings series in 2013), he finds some way to let in a shitty goal, or a buzzer beater from far out or some decrepit 5-hole goal in OT. Or a couple 5-hole goals and a wraparound goal against the Sharks a few years back.
Or his 10 bad goals in the 4 round sweep when he played for Calgary last year. He played well in game 1, I think it was, then choked out the next 3 games and got yanked after allowing a brutal goal early.
