Nice to see them both get it in the same month.

PEli said:Talbot should be in WBS next season. He's third in Q scoring behind Crosby (124) and Roussin (110) with 94 points. This is his overage year and even if it wasn't, he's really got nothing left to prove in the CHL. He's a proven playmaker, he can score, he's a great two way player and he captained the Olympiques to a Memorial Cup berth last year.
Talbot was huge in the playoff run last year and as much as I hate giving credit to any Hull/Gatineau player, he deserves it. Talbot, Daoust and Brunelle was basically unstoppable and I'm sure it was great experience for Maxime.
Hossa said:Actually, it's not his over-age season as evidenced by the fact he was able to play in the WJC, but the rest of the post is correct. He'll be in the AHL next year in all likelihood and has little left to do except win that one extra game called the Memorial Cup Championship. He may be the only person who could unseat Crosby for MVP, considering Talbot has played a handful fewer games and his ability to play a complete game, he could win it as well.

Crosbyfan said:Talbot is plus 31 on Gatineau (plus 409 as a team). Crosby is plus 42 for Rimouski (plus 110 as a team). To put this in perspective Rimouski as a team was plus 200 roughly with Crosby on the ice and minus roughly 90 when he wasn't.

Handsome B. Wonderful said:+/- is a useless stat, always has been, always will be.
I don't think anyone is going to question Talbot's defense.
stardog said:Obviously anyone would rather have Crosby in thier orginization, but I don't think there is much question that Talbot is a more complete player without the puck than is Crosby.
Evilo said:Yes, right now Talbot is scoring more than Crosby while being a defensive force (and scoring way more shorthanded goals) while being clutch (way more game winning goals as well).
MrKnowNothing said:Of course Crosby's plus/minus will be through the roof. That's what will happen when the two top scorers in a league play on a line together.
That's not to speak of Crosby's defensive abilities, which I know nothing of, because I've never seen him play.
But +/- overall can be misleading if you never watch a player actually play.
