The first impressions of Brian Elliott in a Calgary Flames uniform haven't been overly positive. With an 0-3 record and very unflattering totals thus far, some are wondering whether the Flames made the right call targeting Elliott as a solution to their goaltending issues. If you're in that camp, I'm here to ease your fears a little, because I think Elliott is going to be just fine.
I'm not going to sit here and suggest Elliott has been great through his first three games with Calgary. In fact, he's been pedestrian at best in three starts; while he hasn't allowed a ton of "bad goals", he hasn't been there to bail the Flames out when they need him either.
