Talbot seems to struggle after long breaks, it was the same thing off the Allstar break, and he did follow that up with 3 other good games. I think the real issue is that the Oilers have scored 4 goals in game action over the past 5 games. Despite their plethora of Uber talent up front. McDavid hasn't been the driver of the offence that he was, and the secondary parts are not stepping up. I remember when Samwise Gagner had to resort to fighting to get himself going. It was his first step on the path to buyout land, cleansing of the Oiler stench and eventually his ressurection. Maybe the Tenderness is about to embark on the same path himself.
