Cam Talbot, 3 shutouts in 7 starts, NYR as a team has 8 already

[Will Hunting]

Sure, he´s getting protected starts, but still.. This is very nice. Lundqvist has 5, Rangers as a team have 8 already.. Crazy pace.

That's impressive

the rangers for whatever reason play tighter in front of him defensively than when henke is in net but talbots played very well and under control. the first couple starts he was a bit loose with his technique and movements.

 

[BB58]

Rangers best backup goalie ever in history.

 

[Machinehead]

He's really great. Can't believe we got another year out of him.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Rangers best backup goalie ever in history.

Better than Blackburn?

 

[Machinehead]

The Rangers as a team are on pace for 21 shutouts

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I think it's 3 shutouts, still great. He does get the easier games last two years. I'm not only talking about the competition, the team just plays solid D with him in net.

 

[DearDiary]

He has only 3 shutouts this season including tonight

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

He has more (or tied) in shutouts with Quick and Rinnie in 1/4 the amount of games.

 

[What the Faulk]

Holding the Hurricanes to 0 goals is actually worth -1 NHL shutouts so technically he has 2 now.

Well, that´s right.. The TV showed it wrong after the game, not my fault That said, he replaced Lundqvist after 35 minutes in Toronto and made 12 saves in that game without allowing a goal. Not 4 shutouts, though. I have to correct it now.

Yeah, Talbot actually has a glove hand.

he came in relief against toronto and didnt give up a goal. prob where the confusion came from.

Actually, prior to tonight's game, Talbot's average opponent in starts was 0.09 goals above average (Lundqvist's was +0.08).

Maybe, but it would have been his 8th game then and it still would have been wrong stat. They suck

Well, he had 2 shutouts vs Philly and now this one. Philly´s a team that can´t beat the Rangers. He´s good but the Rangers will never play him against the teams like NYI or PIT. That´s what I was thinking.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

Top 3 defense in the league when healthy.

6 wins in a row and the goalies barely had to do anything.

 

[CH25]

Rangers are better than the Islanders.

R1 playoffs series will make a judgement here, imo. I want it badly. Both as a Pens fan and a hockey fan.

It was a bad joke. I was trying to think of Ranger backups and the first name that came to mind was Cloutier although he was actually a starter at times. I always thought he sucked too.

I agree that Talbot is terrific.

My post was a joke, too.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

So he joins the likes of great names like Troy Grosenick and Al Montoya as goaltenders that have shut out the Hurricanes this year.

Pretty sad picture isn't it?
