I don't think some people (ahem...Oiler fans) appreciate the workload of Talbot last year. He played in 73 games and faced 2117 shots.

I looked through the teams that have won at least one round in the playoffs back to the 2011/12 season. Only two goalies from those teams have played in as many games in the regular season as Talbot did last season (Holtby in 2014/15 and Rinne in 2011/12). And only Rinne faced as many shots (who by the way went from a 9.23 sv% to 9.10 the next year and 9.02 the year after).

This is of course a small sample size but I am far too lazy to go back any further, however I would also like to point out that, for all his accomplishments, Brodeur faced as many regular season shots than Talbot did last year only one time in his career (2006/07).
