This has to be for other reasons. There is no reason to play Talbot tonight over Koski. Perhaps showcasing Talbot for a potential trade. Hope he can sneak us a couple more points.


I honestly just think that they wanted to split the weekend starts between the two goalies. Talbot was adequate vs STL but I don't think he was all that great and given the importance of these next 2 games standings wise and trying to win in regulation I would have started Koskinen for both.

He can handle the workload after having Wednesday off and the Oilers can't afford to be behind, playing catch up hockey and try to tie it up win in OT/SO. Koskinen has held us in lots of game where we've been under siege early until we found our form, Talbot historically hasn't.


Talbot was decent enough last game to get the win, so maybe by going right back to him the next game, it'll help grow his confidence by showing him a little faith from the coach, which will make him play better. Assuming he doesn't suck tonight.

But he (Belanger)'s as soft as room temp. margarine.

Turris in the BOA will be like an ice cube in the Sahara.
