Cotts hasn't shut down anybody. He was fortunate to get outta a few jams and the Rangers not taking advantage of oppurtunities. But in no ways has he shut anybody down...
Got out of a few jams, exactly. That's what Cotts does, that's what Cotts did. No one would have known that it wouldn't happen again, no one would have known that his confidence still isn't that high even after a 1 run start against the RANGERS.

That's 1 run, he got out of jams, that's what Cotts does.
