Good write up. Quiet on Talbot today.
Unpopular take incoming: I wasn’t convinced that the game winner last game wasn’t on him, and today’s winner wasn’t good either.
I know he has stopped a lot (quantity mainly due to style of play), and has definitely made some key saves at times. But in any given game, you have to put past games behind you.
Both of the last 2 winning goals were on shots by D, and I don’t think that he couldn’t see either of them.
Not that the team should expect to win with one measly goal. The top line struggled again, and were frustrating to watch.
But Talbot was the second best goalie on the ice today, in a goaltenders’ duel, against the other team’s backup. In a tight game, you can’t give up that second goal.
