Still think Talbot... if not for his two goals in Game 7 against Detroit...then the wings would have been back to back champs.
Staal’s monster SHer in Game 4 changed the series. Without that goal Detroit likely goes up 3-1.
Just my .02, but don't you think the loser should be #9 rather than go back into the poll like we do with the prospects polls?
I'm about to throw this entire string of polls into disarray.
Add Lemieux.
Well, I disagree with that being done for the prospects polls so I'm happy it isn't being done in these polls.
The difference is that Staal was a monster penalty killer for the Pens and was scoring short handed goals all year. Talbot was an easy going, fun fourth line player that wasnt expected to score, let alone twice in Game 7. This isn't a poll about who the best Pens players were/are, its a poll about our favorites and I just figured there were a lot of things that Max did that would have endeared him to the fans. Yeah it was painfully disgusting to see Max in a flyers uniform, but I try not to hold that against him.
