Sure, they were in the top 10, but it's not like we're talking about some kind of offensive dynamo that outscore defensive deficiencies.

Any slip up from Talbot and they will be exposed as the one-dimensional team that they are.
Yup, that was their average. That is why they are going to have to score 4-5 goals to win a game, because they are going to have games where their offense is shut down. They will have to be better than average to win games, because their average of less isn't going to cut it with their defense. Talbot will carry them as far as he can, which is why they are going to need quite a few 4+ goal games this year.
