Look at the OP, this one has existed since February...Posted my Cam Talbot thread before this one and mine gets merged.
I don't blame him at all for his bad performance last night. Well, a little I suppose. Have to stop that Leddy shot.
But he got screwed the way they did him after the season he had.
And I know some of you think he is a bum who lucked into the ASG, but I disagree. I think he performed admirably this season.
Bringing in MAF didn't make sense to me and it caused more trouble than it solved.

saw that she was pretty upset on twitter. She even said something like "can't wait for our next adventure, wherever that may be"
I get her frustration, but that's not something to say publically. It's a business and right or wrong, management thought they needed a goalie upgrade. If it had worked, none of you are agreeing with Talbot's wife. It didn't work so now she's not wrong.
Odd way to look at it IMO.
Maybe he did, but as I've said all along, I look at Talbot's numbers against the Blues and they are terrible. I understand the need to upgrade the position based on a matchup we have to get passed and he hasn't been good enough. I don't think starting Talbot from the jump changes anything in this series.You can play the results, once the results are in. Doesn't mean you have to completely disregard the process, but we have new, complete information now.
I didn't mind the Fleury trade, because our goalies weren't playing well enough at the time. But after the trade, fact is that Talbot outperformed Fleury and it wasn't all that close. A lot of what Dean-o's message has been is 'players get what the earn', and this decision really flew in the face of that.
His trading for Fleury and re-signing Goligoski for another TWO years shows an unhealthy attachment to the past. His wife should probably stay off twitter, but I don't totally disagree with her.Fleury is a Hall of Famer, and seems like a class guy. Has he made a big save since the one on Nik Lidstrom in 2009? Oh yeah, the one on Kaprizov in the playoffs last year. Point being, I like Guerin as a GM but I do think he's emotional. He remembered that save and figured Fleury might have a little of that magic.
Talbot also seems like a great guy and teammate but I would agree with his wife that it was a pretty unfair move for a veteran to lose his job, especially when the likely upside was negligible.
Completely agree with thisI don't think starting Talbot from the jump changes anything in this series.
