Connors had him on a cross-crease pass and Talbot made the save
Roslovic hits the post on a cross crease pass.... So the Flames team defense gave up 4 4-alarm scoring chances in a 2-0 game in the third period that were worthy of being in a 3 minute highlight package of the game.
Any one of those goes in and the game changes. There are turning points in a game and Talbot won at least 3 of his bailing out his team.

I think two of those four chances were actually pretty low-danger shots. The Ehlers one where he was moving to his left and threw the puck the other way, and the cross crease pass. In both cases Talbot had to read the play and the save itself was pretty standard.
Similarly I would have viewed either goal as soft if it had gotten through, or if Talbot hadn't read the play well.
