GDT: #45 - 01/08/14 | New York Rangers @ Chicago Blackhawks | 8:00 PM - NBC SPORTS

He has been better, but people need to start be more objective about it.

Talbot hasn't been the best goaltender in the NHL. Or close to it. He is 9-3 facing lower seeded teams (every back up does) and the team generally plays well.

The best team he faced was MTL, where he had one of the easiest shutouts I had ever seen, and wasn't even the #1 star because the shutout was that easy.

He followed that game up with a 17 save shutout against NSH, where the game was so easy, he wasn't even recognized as one of the three stars of the game.

He has faced much lower competition overall.

Nobody ever said Talbot was great. They simply said he has outplayed Hank which is true

Ughh I wish NBC didn't have exclusive rights. I hate watching games that are not on MSG...

 

[Loff]

Not expecting much. LGR.

 

[Zamboner]

Doc and Pierre. And we're facing the Blackhawks. I don't think this is going to be a fun night.

2) At what point in time ( or at the very least, the last 20 years ) has there been a true rivalry between the Rangers and the Blackhawks?

I think its just an original 6 thing.

 

[FLNYR]

I love the old school players with no helmets, hair rigidly parted to the side with a dab of Brylcreem

 

[Ail]

Alright, clench your buttcheeks because it's gonna be a long night.

For the older fans, you know, the ones in their mid 80s.

The blackhawks play fats but they will also give up a lot of open ice. If kreider and nash are on their games we should ahve a alot of scoring chances

 

[The Gloaming]

So much blue.

 

[KingP]

[DoTheBlue]

Carcillo starts to get the offense off early

I watched that series and I'm nowhere near 80

 

[Zamboner]

Volunteer for other awful Doc verbal crutches.
