The excitement level was high when the Calgary Flames acquired Brian Elliott in June, and for good reason. Elliott was fresh off a Western Conference Final appearance with the St. Louis Blues and only cost the team a second round pick. After a miserable start to his first season in Calgary, Elliott has put together a ridiculous run (including a franchise record-tying win streak) and looks like a bona fide number one goaltender heading into the postseason. I don’t know if we saw this coming in October and November, but this is the Brian Elliott everyone has been hoping for.
This is the Brian Elliott we’ve been waiting for
