That's what separates the good from the bad goalies: the good ones make the hard saves more often, and sometimes even the impossible. If you can't do that, you're not starter material.

Yep. But goalie experts here think only Talbot faces difficult shots.

Guy has been shit. D ain’t perfect but why does Koskinen fair so much better with same corps?

I’m glad Post game show grilling talbot

wait did todd just say his pk system is flawed, something along the lines of " we always give up one a night it seems but we are in the correct positions structurally"

Look at the amazing high skill that's been added to this roster over the last few years. One can't believe that the team isn't very good with all these amazing adds.

The skill level of the above group is breathtaking, in a somewhere ripped a nasty fart in your face kind of way.

Draisaitl biting his ****ing tongue so hard



The thing is, they DO seem to get deflated when Talbot lets in a goal. Maybe they're saying in their heads "oh no, hope it's not another one of those games." When Koski is in net, they seem more calm -- Flames game aside of course, as they just completely owned us unbelievably hard in the 3rd and no goalie would've won it for us, frankly. Koskinen did make some unbelievable saves to help us keep the lead for a while, and to keep us in it, but the Flames were just too good and wanted it more that night.

It's a damn shame that if McLellan gets fired that Chiarelli gets another kick at the can to bring someone else in.

McLellan may have lost the room and he's probably going to eventually have to fall on the sword. But Chiarelli is the architect of this disaster. That should never be forgotten or excused even if Todd does have to go.

Yes. Chia has to be fired, obviously. He should have been fired the day after the Hall trade. Chia will be fired after we miss the playoffs this year, likely anyhow. But that isn't the REAL problem. The real problem is the OBC. As long as Lowe and mact are making hockey related decisions, this franchise has no hope

Wait my two best friends in Woodcroft and Johnson weren't the problems for special teams after all. I have new assistant coaches, and my special teams is still awful. Why isn't my assistant coach Viveiros running the PP? Maybe I'm the problem!! - Todd McLellan.

It's really on the coach to get more out of the awesome roster Chia has built. Lucic, Benning, Kassian, Talbot, Strome, ... what a Dream Team.

Todd has not been able to harness the awesome power of Chia's tremendous roster adds.

I think he meant “visually, we are in the correct positions.”

Matt Benning is not an NHL defenseman. Vegas is a 2nd year expansion outfit and at least 4 of their d-men are better than our #1 guy.
