Jones is having by far the worst season of his career, where his poor numbers are mostly due to playing behind a defensive core that is the best in the NHL at suppressing shots, and one of the worst in the NHL at suppressing true grade A, wide open net chances.

And his numbers are still much better than Talbot’s. Close this.

Jones is bad, im more confident in Talbot getting back to 16-17 form than in Jones becoming not garbage

Jones. It was closer a couple of years ago, but Talbot has fallen off relatively more than Jones (who hasn't looked incredible either).

Jones is pretty awful would like to see a poll him vs Luongo vs Smith would be a tough decision to make.

As an Oilers fan who has watched almost every game, Talbot is just too inconsistent the past season + to even warrant consideration. He stops the hard ones and has been letting in the easy ones too often whereas he was an absolute rock in 2016/17. I'd go Jones here but I think the way Talbot played in 16/17 is better than Jones has ever played (especially considering the team he was carrying) and if he can regain that form he would be a better option considering only 2 years separating them.

Hey Pepperidge Farm, y'all remember when Jones was decidedly above average in the regular season and a monster in the playoffs? And Talbot was on the verge of being one of the elite netminders in the league?

Those were the days.

Both are trash, someone go dig the shootertutor out the back closet.

Voted Talbot because he out-dueled Jones a couple of years ago.

Both are looking suspect af.
