It will be interesting to see how Talbot bounces back, but you have to think that the Ducks who blasted him with shots in game two are going to try to ramp it up on him to see if he's hit a fatigue wall, because he didn't look sharp.
It makes me wonder why "Coach of the Year" T-Mac didn't yank him after giving up the first three goals and give him some rest. Maybe because he can't pronounce the name of his backup goalie.
Anaheim has been the better team for most of this series and they didn't start getting rewarded until last night, but I have to think that both teams are grateful for the extra day off.
But the Oilers are going to have to be way sharper then they've been so far in this series.
With a veteran team like the Ducks when you have a chance to step on their throats you have to do that because if you even open that door by a half inch they're savvy enough to kick it in and murder your family.
