Ellis is still promising from what I see.  

Hindsight says asking him for 3 in a row against a desperate veteran team was a lot,  play Lyon and maybe he, being a veteran, knows what to say to the slackers in front if him. 

Playing three in a row was a test of Ellis.

Mixed performance against a weak but highly motivated opponent, and playing behind an uncommitted group of poorly coached and undisciplined players.

Call it an Incomplete Grade.

Thats why I said “maybe”.    It’s possible that Lyon is also a vocal leader too.  Not absurd, just a hopeful thought.  

My questioning of Ellis getting 3 straight games remains.  I didn’t think it was necessary for a team carrying 3 goalies.  

BTW -  Tage had a goal and an almost assist on an almost goal.  

Im good with firing Adams too.  

Wasn't thrilled with Ellis getting the start either.  BUT if he had moved ahead of Lyon in the pecking order, that set him up to get 2 of the 3 games including this weekend's games and also 2 of the 3 games next week.  Personally would've given Lyon the start, Ellis the Hawks and Lyon the Canes and then go with whichever one they consider the 1 in the game on Wednesday.  But they seemed to think getting Ellis 2 of these 3 starts was the better play.  And now here we are once again missing an opportunity to be playing for a chance to get over NHL 0.500.  Need to get past that threshold before they can get to NHL 0.600.

And yes, if Adams were relieved of his duties in the AM, wouldn't be crying over it.
