It seemed like the organization soured on Talbot after losing the Stars series but he wasn't really that bad with a .913 SV% as it was a team loss. In my entire life of watching NHL hockey I have never seen a single player tank a playoff series like Markstrom did against the Oilers. That was maybe the one chance the Flames had to do something in the playoffs and he basically made sure it didn't happen all by himself. I like the guy and have nothing against him but that was the all time least clutch playoff series ever as he went from fantastic series against the Stars to not being able to stop a beach ball against the Oilers.
