Absolutely not. Talbot is good and I think he can be a starter in the league. But Lundqvist is the best player on the team when he's healthy.
You don't give your backup goalie games during the playoffs unless your #1 is crapping the bed. It never, ever, works out in the end. Just look at St Louis.

No. Cam Talbot has a .846 career postseason SV%. Henrik Lundqvist has a career .922 career postseason SV%
I'd stick Hayes there. Miller on the wing in MSL's place, but it won't happen for obvious reasons.
Also you can't have a NYR PP without Girardi.
No, we should just ride all the way with Talbot.
Should've moved Hank at the deadline when he had value. Now we have a Luongo/Schneider type controversy.
Could've gotten at least a 6th rounder back. And Cap Space.
Cap Space could've been on our 1st pair instead of Girardi. Cap Space has potential for the best Corsi in NHL. The Fenwick of a McD-CS pairing would be unreal.
McD would regain last season's form in no time paired with Cap Space. Who needs Hank when we could've traded for Captain Cap Space.

I thought the Fast play was a dive.
John Tavares not getting called for mugging people when he lost his stick makes up for it.

Cap Space is the missing piece for this team. Too bad we kept Lundqvist and had to get Yandle as well.

We're CLEAN, we PROMISE!
Quick turnaround vs good team that we've previously owned. Exact same amount of GF (200) and they've given up only 9 more goals than we have. Impressive.
We had better get off to a good start, and preferably a 2 goal lead at least, then ride the wave. Learn from what the Piles would've wanted do to us last night. We got our legs midway, and then it seemed game was going to be ours.

Isle's forecheck is insanely aggressive in the first period. You just have to survive that and then they usually settle down enough that we can take control of the game the next two periods. Kind of like the games we had with the Kings in the final. Gotta win more than just 1 period a majority of the time to win games.

I wonder if we would have beaten the Lightning in the final 2 meetings of the season if we had played them 5 times.

why is my name here?
The only way talbot will be seeing a game as a starter is if we're pouding the opposition 3-0 in the series and it's strickly to just keep lundqvist fresh for the next round. Even then it's very iffy.

I wouldn't be against starting Cam the second day of a back to back after a game went to triple overtime
No you let Hank close them out and have a week off after that. Don't give them a chance to get back into a series
How would putting Talbot in be giving them a chance to get back in the series? No basis for that line of thinking.
To me the results against Tampa are really deceiving this year. All 3 meetings took place before Hank found his game. The team was still getting going also.
We dominated the last game, but it was Hank's worst of the year. He literally lost it single-handedly.
Game 2 was fairly even, but I'd give overall edge in play to NYR. Hank wasn't at his best. Bishop was better, but we should've at least gotten a point out of it.
Game 1 Tampa thoroughly outplayed us. Practically everybody looked awful from what I remember.
Henrik looked like a different goalie during play-offs in Montreal than regular season last year. Except Game 5. I expect a similar positive transformation if we meet Tampa.
Wonder if the Rangers didn't play the Lightning 3 times in 14 days when the Lightning were hot and the Rangers weren't if the results would have been different.
The schedule has been exceptionally stupid for any number of reasons this season, this just being one of them.
You mean putting in a worse goalie wouldn't give the other team a boost? Besides Talbot has a .846 SV% in the playoffs. Don't want him in there.
He would do fine as we are seeing now. It wouldn't be any noticeable difference with him in.
And if the offense didn't bail him out in 5 of those wins, where he allowed 3 or more?
And again, Talbot has .846 SV% in the playoffs. That's just terrible.
My fear is that because Henrick is a slow starter every season and needs games to get into a grove, a few weeks of games is not enough.
