I'm sorry but some of these comments regarding Talbot are insane to me. Every one is begging for emotion and someone on the team to give a sh it about whats going on. Here's a player that does, and its "hes a cancer!".
I will admit and agree that his goal tending has been less then stellar, but to suggest he is letting goals in intentionally, or not trying on the Kane goal. Come on. Saad's leg is wedged in his pad. Talbot makes 2-3 attempts to get over but cant. This is in essence the exact same goal from the playoffs, but insert Kesler and his hand instead of Saad's foot. Everyone could agree that was goalie interference.
Also last night, I am perfectly ok with the words he had for hitch and not coming back to the bench. I view the move by hitchcock to challenge that play and then pull talbot when the challenge failed, is straight up disrespect. "Hey, they interfered with you enough to call for a challenge! Oh it failed? Hit the showers you bum!" I dont buy the timeout excuse. They just had a timeout with the whole challenge time.
