And they don't have a backup. Good grief.

And now that the Oilers are fighting for a wildcard spot, and soon a playoff spot altogether, I can't see any scenario where they don't play Talbot in every game for the rest of the season.
Not to mention McDavid playing 25 minutes a night.
Even their own fans on HF are frustrated that it looks like the team has basically given up trying and are totally fine riding McDavid's coat tails for offence. The pressure on him is only going to mount as their ability to hold a playoff spot becomes more precarious.
