Jake Allen To Start For Blues In Game Four

Brian Elliott has been rock solid, but the Blues've hit a rough patch. Will this shake-up work?

I am a noted Brian Elliott conspiracy theorist in that I sense a trend of the franchise attempting to undermine him at every step. Despite being the only Blues goaltender to win a playoff series in over a decade, Elliott was passed over in 2014 in favor of Ryan "at least I can go to my sister in law's wedding" Miller and last year for Jake Allen. Elliott has proven himself in these playoffs to be a solid goaltender and has even worked his way into entirely too early talk of Conn Smythe honors.
