They have to change things up. They are both good goaltenders and this is just being done for the sake of some change.
Wow..... As an Allen owner I'm happy but these are the kind of moves that can cost a coach their job...
They have to change things up. They are both good goaltenders and this is just being done for the sake of some change.
This decision, no matter how it ends up, is not going to cost Hitchcock his job.
As mentioned, both Allen and Elliott have proven they are capable starting goalies.
He's just looking to change the momentum. I like the call myself.
This sums it up for me personally.@Davelozo Benching the .930/.925 guy who won two Game 7s after being shut out twice in a row seems like the right move.

This is just a gamble to change momentum. Has nothing to do with Elliott himself. The team blew those two games.

If the Blues dont find a way to score, it won't matter who Hitch starts in goal.

This is definitely a move to try and wake up the Blues and to try and light a fire under their butts!!
I actually like the move.. Elliott has been pretty solid throughout the playoffs and I'm quite positive he understands the move..

Well, hopefully Allen can put the puck in the net.........................

Can't blame Elliot. Blues shut out last two games. That said throwing Allen in might mix things up a bit and give the Blues a fresh start.

Marty Biron made a good point this morning on TSN when he talked about Allen as the better puck-playing goalie too. Maybe Hitch is trying to find a way to help his team get the puck out of their end.

I have no issue with changing momentum but trying to do it with a goalie who's last game was.... Quite a while ago is a risk regardless of supporting the transition
from a selfish perspective I hope they win... If they lose he has put himself in a corner IMHO
Winner! And a solid showing. Give him game 5!
