There's plenty of turmoil in the St. Louis goal crease
Before diving into the discussion that is the goaltending situation in St. Louis, let's stop and think back to Fall of 2012. During those few months we were focusing all of our anger and hatred towards the NHL lockout and those responsible for putting our favorite sport on hold. We all just wanted to see the St. Louis Blues play, especially considering they would enter the year...
Hitchcock calls for 'homegrown' Blues to step up
Mouth agape, Ken Hitchcock struggled to process the buzzer-beater that crushed the St. Louis Blues' season. Goalie Brian Elliott sank to his knees in disbelief.
For the second straight playoffs, the Blues finished with four straight losses to the Los Angeles Kings. They didn't get swept this time, it just felt that way.
Especially to Hitchcock, who called out the cluster...

LA Kings Looking For Their Offense
from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
Quick was good enough. He stopped 23 shots and, before Jackman's effort, yielded only a goal that caromed off Patrik Berglund's foot at 3:44 of the third period.
The Kings' offense, though, wasn't nearly adequate. The Kings have scored two goals on Brian Elliott in two games: one after Quick was pulled for an extra skater...
St. Louis Blues: Brian Elliott has not wasted his third chance
How many chances does one person deserve? One? Two? Maybe three? St. Louis Blues goalie Brian Elliott is on his third chance this season and he is taking full advantage of it. If the Blues could have gotten some pucks and a couple of sticks for him they probably would have taken it. Good thing they didn't.
Let's review the rollar coaster season Elliott has had thus far this...
St. Louis Blues: Brian Elliott posts third consecutive shutout in win over Minnesota
Earlier this season, St. Louis Blues goalie Brian Elliott was struggling mightily and had been basically relegated to the press-box after the emergence of rookie Jake Allen. After a short "conditioning" stint in Peoria and following the aftermath of Jaroslav Halak's groin injury, Elliott has been incredible. So incredible, that he posted his third consecutive shutout...

Elliott represents Blues at NHL All-Star Game
The first game St. Louis Blues goalie Brian Elliott plays following the All-Star break will likely feel like a walk in the park compared to what he faced Sunday afternoon in the NHL All-Star Game in Ottawa.
Elliott, the Blues' lone All-Star representative, was the third goalie to see action for Team Alfredsson. He faced 19 shots in the third period alone and allowed six goals...

Blues goalie Elliott ready for All-Star debut
ST. LOUIS - Traveling back to Ottawa was likely the last thing goalie Brian Elliott thought he would be doing during the All-Star break when he signed a one-year contract with the St. Louis Blues last summer.
Heck, Elliott wasn't even sure he was going to make the Blues roster when training camp opened in September. Now he's headed to the All-Star Game as their only representative...

Elliott exceeding expectations with Blues
When you go to NHL.com’s league leader page, there’s a goalie’s mugshot that shows up three times – he is leading in the league in goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts. If you haven’t been paying attention this season, you may guess that the goalie I am referring to would be Tim Thomas, Pekka Rinne, or Henrik Lundqvist. But actually, it’s St. Louis Blues...
