9-3 with one of those losses given to him only because he played more than Talbot in the Av's game but he only gave up 1 goal while Talbot gave up 3. 2.06 GA, .929% and 3 shut outs. At the time the signing seemed to be a way to much but with the way he is playing, he's probably going to end up playing close to half the year and if you are getting quality starts from him most games, the contract is fine. He's been superior to Talbot and it's not even close. They are darn lucky to have him as without him, they would probably be deadlast in the league with the way Talbot was playing. It was interesting to listen to Hitch who said last night that Zubov who is a coach on the team that Koskinen played for in the KHL called him and told him rave reviews. I am cautiously optimistic they have a good one in him.

woah woah. What's with all the railing on Talbot still? He's played 3 games very well for us since Hitch came here, all 3 he's played under Hitch. Do you want Talbot to fail that badly?

I didn't know know telling the truth about Talbot was railing him. All I said about him was he hasn't been very good for most of the season. That's true. He has been a lot better the last few starts which is great. I like Talbot, I want him to do well. If you remember I felt he was poised to bounce back. The Oilers need him to be good. But you don't have a 3.12 GA and a .895% if you have had a good season. But as I said, I really hope the way he has played the last few games is a sign has finally found his game and he's back.
When it comes to the defense. Yes Hitchcock has made some changes and the team is a lot better defensively BUT prior to Hitch, Koskinen played on the same team with the same coaches, under the same system with the same dmen and he was significantly better. So you can't pin all the woes of Talbot on the defense.

I don't know why we can't compliment Koskinen without having to tear down Talbot though. What's wrong with having 2 good goalies? That kind of situation won the Pens 2 cups in a row.
And I do personally think the team played very different for Talbot than they did for Koskinen. I think Todd was a coach that would push the mentality that the goalie is letting the team down. He complained many times after games about how they couldn't get a save. Koskinen hasn't had to live through a down period here, and all goalies have them eventually, no matter how good they are. He's lucky he never had to struggle under Todd and how mentally fragile this team was under him. He could have fallen down the same hole that every other goalie that's been here under Todd did before him.
