McDonagh looks awful right now. Expected I guess. He'll turn it around, just hope it doesn't cost us this game.

One thing you gotta give Talbot over Hank is his stickwork, it's very noticeable on the powerplay.

I wish we could like morph them and have Hank with Talbot's stick.


Hank is a 'stay at home goalie', where as Talbot likes to engage with the puck.

I've explained this before why Hank is so bad at puck handling, and it makes perfect sense.

He tapes his glove hand and wrist (from an old injury), and he has Bauer make his glove extremely stiff and almost flat to where it's almost impossible to close the glove.

This makes puck handling very difficult, and why you don't see him ever closing the glove over the stick to shoot it, and merely having it there to push the puck off.

Hayes with a couple of very poor decisions. If there's any justice in the world, that goes into the net. Just awful.

Yeah I understand, I'll trade Hank's poor handling for what he does in the net.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little refreshing, but like I said, overall Hank is worth it.
