Can someone please explain this to me - Cam Talbot is now a "Stanley Cup Caliber Goaltender"?
From what I can see, he has had only 1 season with great numbers. His first season with EDM were okay numbers and his time with NYR - great numbers, small sample.
Is this guy suddenly one of the 5 best goalies in the NHL?
What am I missing here?

Because the media is in the same frothy pants frenzy that they were during the "They're building something special up there" phase.
Fact is they were embarrassed that they are so bad at hockey and that they completely missed on the fact that the Oilers were truly building something es"special"ally bad up there, so they're doubling down on their dumbness factor now.
There's a blind spot that the media has especially the Canadian media when it comes to the Oilers.
