unreal.

unreal.

Both such classy players, and they both truly make me proud to be an Oiler fan.

unreal.

That is just all kinds of awesome.

This thread probably deserves a bump after Talbot's huge Game 2 Shut Out.

And also so we can marvel at this battle. What a spider walk by Talbot in Game 1:



If Talbot gets to 90% of what Rollie had in 06. Look out for a deep deep run.

Like most threads, I jumped a couple pages back to catch up. Took me longer than it should have with how many posts were quoting people saying he was trash but I thought they were having a laugh about what people had been saying. Then I saw the dates.

Talbot played well in game two, but that was a pretty easy shut out. Definitely didn't steal the game for the Oilers. I actually think he played better in game one.

Deep playoff runs often happen thanks to really good goalie play. This team is good enough to make a deep run with really good goalie play.

If the Oilers keep playing like they did in game two and get the Talbot from game one they can go far.

What a boss. Another shutout.

The only thing that really scares me about this is that there is no in-between with Talbot. When he's on, he is dead on. But when he's off, it can get real ugly real fast. We saw that in the last few weeks of the regular season especially.

For his own sake and the team's, I hope he doesn't get deflated when he allows his next goal.

Wow, .963 GAA.

What I said Pre-Game 3:

- Talbot. Remember the last time Talbot got a shut out? He followed it up with another one right after. Talbot is riding high in confidence right now. Looks and sounds calm and ready to write his own story. I expect him to be huge again this game.

BACK TO BACK SHUTOUTS. What'd I tell ya. Is Talbot ON HIS ****IN GAME OR WHAT?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Wow, .963 GAA.

Things are going well when you're SV% and GAA are virtually the same.

 

[Crabapple]

He is a God

 

[Draiskull]

Calm Talbot..
Cant really write anything more about him ...

 

[Arturs Irbe]

Daddy : )))))))))))))))))

 

[Del Preston]

He has his own line of apparel. I had no idea.

Can you please stop yelling at everyone in your posts. Lowercase will do.

Talbot is the man

 

[Senor Catface]

The only thing I wish Talbot would do...is pull a Roloson, and shake his mask off.

ONLY for the memories, haha.

How about goal #1 here?

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Judging on that clip, Klefbom needs some shooting tips from Harvey.

 

[CornKicker]

can we get a gif of talbot shuffle sliding to stop burns ?

 

[Aceboogie]

Could turn out to be one of the best trades in NHL in a while

i was talking about this last night, Chia not only made the trade for talbot at good value but he picked the right goalie too. there was a few available like Lack, Lehner etc.

I miss when he'd drop the puck and bat it out of mid air.

Yup. Lehner is good and all but Talbot is clearly the best goalie moved that year. Dubnyk for nothing is an incredible trade and I think Talbot is right up there. Dubnyk was more luck, Talbot was 50% luck, 50% identifying the right goalie

Only problem with Talbot is that hes not 22. Wed be set in goalie for next 10+ years

Ahh well Ill settle for 5-6 years

 

[Stoneman89]

It was a rather large price to pay for Talbot, at the time. He was a backup goalie to King Henrik, after all, and the resume wasn't entirely large. He is one of the guys I wanted us to go after though. But I had no idea his ceiling would be so high, so quickly, and I doubt Chia could have anticipated it would escalate this fast as well. Now, it seems like a steal as to what we paid for him.
