Name the last Flame goalie that went 4 important games without letting in a softie.
Do you really think that this Flame team somehow became so mentally strong that they would be able to overlook poor or sloppy goal-tending and keep on doing their own jobs??
Talbot is giving the Flames the opportunity to stick to their game plan.
PS the guy throws a shutout in the most important game that Gio has played in in his whole career and Ho-Hum just doing what he is supposed to.

It’s the only thing I’ve been asking for since kipper. Give us a goalie who always makes the easy saves, especially when it counts, and we will be fine.
