Ha Ha, I called him a 'good backup' for the team. Guess I am guilty, ecstatically guilty

6 games is a good sample size now?

It's not really advanced, the Panthers attempted almost 100 shots. That's crazy.

I'm one of them, and I'm still not convinced
This team has been lights out for the most part in front of him. He's also playing miles better than he was since first taking over (as was always expected). I remember bashing his positioning in those first couple of games and getting told I didn't know what I was talking about by a few goalie experts. Now all we hear on the broadcasts are the guys praising how much better his positioning is. Hm.
Unfortunately, this post reads entirely like I'm taking away what Cam has been doing from him, as I do not intend that. But, just because he's having a stretch of 12 or so good games behind one of the best defenses in the league doesn't convince me he's a legitimate starting goalie in the NHL. Since February 18th they've given up more than 20 scoring chances just three times (including tonight) 5v5 and are at the top of the league in minimizing scoring chances against.
What can I say. Maybe I need too much convincing for my own good.
The successes of this team since Henrik Lundqvist went down do not fall solely on the shoulders of Cam Talbot.

I was going to say did they bring Torts back as an associate coach with all those blocked shots tonight?

He's only started 6 games that mean anything, nevesis. The other ones didn't count.
I respect you, and won't argue with your opinion, but I will agree with you that you most likely do need too much convincing for your own good.
Ahh, yes thats right. Can't count those...
Must say, I love that he's improving, too. His rebound control has gotten exponentially better. Awesome to see.

Talbot has 2 years worth of stats.
At this point, I really believe he's legit. But, he's not going to unseat Hank anytime soon for obvious reasons. We just may be able to get a 1st round pick for him.

I wish I could just say stuff doesn't count when I'm at work.
My client broke the speed limit when they ran over an old blue hair?
THAT SPEED LIMIT DOESN'T COUNT.
My client accidentally ****ed up a multi-million dollar contract?
DOESN'T COUNT.

Which is surprising to see from an Allaire-coached goalie (he's historically not emphasized rebound control). I wonder if he can help Hank a bit out there (Allaire that is, not Cam). That's always been my complaint with Hank (besides his puck handling).
They just played 5 games in 7 days and won them all. They looked tired and uninterested but still won. How many teams can do that? Detroit lost 7-2 to philly last night. Pitt lost 5-1 to Detroit today. God forbid the rangers lose a game by 4 goals, this board will implode which is really sad. One game means nothing. Instead of obsessing what didn't go right tonight(and they still won) think about first in division, first in conference, first in league.
