Lol, you're hilarious. Regardless of what happened behind the net, that shot should have been easier to stop than a dump in and you know it. A tight game and our goalie needed to outplay their goalie. And theirs outplayed ours by a large margin. McDavid was allowed to walk in unmolested a couple times and Murray stoned him. Guess you could say the Pens players on the ice at that time were morons too. Give it a rest.
It was still a bad goal. He can’t give that up. If it was Talbot that lost the game you’d have nailed him to the cross.
Bad goal but he rebounded nicely and gave the team a chance to win.
When you are in a tight game, against one of the best money goalies in the league, you can't blink. This isn't about save % in this particular game. It's about making all the saves you need to make, and maybe a couple you shouldn't be expected to make. Regardless of your team making some mistakes (the Penguins made plenty of them, probably more than us, given the disparity in shots on net, and the extra quality chances we had by our stars), letting in a weak goal is a killer, and can bring an underperforming team (the Penguins in this case) back into the fray, and also has the flipside of deflating the other team. Right after that goal went in, the Pens ramped things up. Until that time, Koski was making the saves he needed to make, and the Oilers had control of the game. But with this team being so fragile, and without any secondary scoring, their goalies have to be airtight in games like this one. I didn't think Koski had to make any 10 bell saves in the game, to be honest. Nearly all were routine, with a few good ones. But as mentioned, the Oilers goalies need to be the best goalie on the ice every night, regardless of shots or save %. Anything less will likely mean a loss or a bad loss.
This coming from a big Talbot supporter is flat out hilarious. Damn koskinen letting in 2 goals! Hell if he got a shutout we would have won 1-0!
Have no idea what your point is. And I suspect you don't either. But keep propping up every move your hero makes and the enormous long term contract he has.
My point is obvious. Regardless if it’s “my hero” or Talbot in net, blaming the goalie for a loss when your team only scores 1 goal is stupid. Is that clear enough for you?
Sorry, I 've already explained what happens when your goalie lets in a terrible goal in a close game. I could try to do it again for you, but you really are too dense to comprehend.
For a guy that's never been a starting goalie in this league, and has very few games under his belt, yes, it is enormous. lol.
You really need some reading or math comprehension. Take away the bad goal and we have a tie game, with a chance to get an extra point in OT. In what world is that a shutout for you?
They must have seen into the future and saw that he was going to be a Vezina candidate next year or something. Or one of them must have had a dream.
