Our D is a huge reason why Talbot had the year that he had. Yes, he did his part but at the same time the D made it easy for him a lot of nights. The addition of Larsson was huge.

As has been pointed out earlier in this thread. The Oilers not only allowed more shots per game then the Flames, but Talbot faced more rebounds and more shots from the danger area.
The Oilers defense was still susceptible to a lot of this guy scored pictures, except Talbot performed miracles.
I mean Larsson is a very good one dimensional defense, Klefbom is pretty good, but I think he's getting over rated. But outside of that, and especially with Sekera gone forever that defense isn't that good. Talbot is your best player behind the blueline and disguise how weak it is. Frankly its a lottery team blueline.
