Worst is Talbot and I doubt it's much of a contest. His strong defensive play results in turnovers where he's alone on a rush at least once a game. But he can't finish for the life of him. It's just sad. You get all excited about a breakaway before realizing who it is, then once that dawns on you the disappointment surrounds you well before he's even attempted whatever passes for a shot. No one expects Talbot to be a sniper, obviously - he does his job well enough without having to be a scorer on top of it - but for the sake of how many chances he gets nightly you'd think that he'd at least bury one here and there.

DRW's Helm is kind of like that, although when he's on a hot streak he can actually put one in the net.

Mentioning Crosby as one of the worst is ridiculous. He's been stopped a bunch lately, that doesn't make him one of the worst. Good Lord.

Historically he is pretty brutal on breakaways, He'll score maybe 1-3 all season on breakaways.
