Go to HF Oil, he is very much getting a ton of blame. Not to mention Bronx cheers when he made a save at the game.
He has had a bad start, I still think competition for goalies is a good thing. He absolutely earned the starter role but there wasn't even a question going into camp. Talbot struggled like this last year but the Oilers had Nilsson to bail them out.
Chia was imo wrong to give him full confidence by having Gustavsson as a back up. There were better options that would have at least pushed him to be better.
Do you even understand goaltending.
Goalies stop the shots that get to them.
and
save the ones that are targeted at open areas in the net.
puck that hit a goalie were never going to go in.
75% of goals come form on average 10.5 High scoring chance shots in a game.
Talbot faced 23 shots in the game.
21 HSC shots 2 LSC shots.
1 that hit him and one that bounced to an open hole situation.
HSC shot results are driven by the shots targeted at open holes.
there are a whole collection of shots directed into blocker; glove; chest protector and pads that a goalie does not have to move on.
These are closed hole shots. They have 0% chance of going in.
Talbot faced twice as many HSC shots as a goalie should in a Game.
so he should have given up 5 GA in the game.
He had one bounce ang redirect to an open hole in the net.
Elite dmen like Larsson usually give up 2.1 HSC shots in 18 min EVTOI.
the guy faced 7 in 20 minutes of EV, PP, PK
that game was Awful defensively.
Could be worse could have been the OTT goalie in the Toronto Ott game.
One of the worst in the modern era.
You kind of want the best HSCA save5 golaies in the game.
when you look at the last 3 years al lsituations.
1. Price .8404
2. Schnieder .8356
3. Halak .8332
4. Jones .8294
5. Elliot .8275
6. Holtby .8273
7. Crawford .8262
8. Talbot .8253
9. Bernier .8216
10. Mrazek .8183
The 1st and 3rd games GA were all about the Dmen.
