Even here, he was disappointing last year
Talbot put up a .919 here and Markstrom followed up with a .904 (while Talbot put up a .915 elsewhere). While making 60 cents on the dollar. It is ####ing comical that we are discussing *how much* better Markstrom is.
What is confusing or even controversial about this?
####ing silly is what it is

Going into last season the entire hockey world rated Markstrom higher...do you honestly think Talbot would have had as good of numbers in Calgary last season? It was a debacle of a year from almost every player. Plus they played the leagues top two scorers (by a mile) 10 times out of 56 games.
Talbot is doing well, Wild also make it a lot easier on him than the Flames have on Markstrom so far...it takes watching one game to figure that out
