I'm getting more comfortable to seeing Koskinen in net, but you have to wonder with the pedigree that Talbot came into this org to see him regress so badly is concerning. Are the Oilers where good goaltenders go to die?
Niemi allowed 6 but like a lot of said he kept the team in it. What's happened to Montreal? Bergevin has killed his teams chances of remaining competitive and it started with the Subban trade something to this day never made sense, I wonder if another GM we know made a similar head scratcher?! Anyways..
Our defence is so poor save for Larsson and Russell and the continual loss of board battles is what's going to sink this team.
Good win though took opportunities when needed and Leon looks positively happy to be on Connor's wing.
Boy am I being critical or what of this team after a win. I need a snickers.

When it comes to the goalies, I keep hearing - heard it yesterday again - how much extra work Koskinen has been doing. Apparently he's been with Schwartz every morning working on his angles, rebounds, etc and it sounds like it's more than just a back up trying to stay sharp. I don't hear Talbot doing extra work in the mornings or after practice. Now maybe he is and it's just not being reported but given that Talbot has struggled all year and how in Edmonton, there is so much media coverage where EVERYTHING is reported, I find it hard to believe if Talbot was indeed doing extra work to the extent that Koskinen apparently has been, it would go unnoticed.
To me it sounds like Koskinen is a lot hungrier than Talbot. He came over, he's the unproven guy, he needs a new contract and he wants to stay in the NHL. So he is doing what it takes to improve so he can stay. Where as Talbot has been in the NHL for a while, he's got 132 NHL wins, he's got more of a resume and knows he will have a NHL job next year no matter what. Koskinen came over, said he had to prove himself, when he was shaky in preseason said he needed to be better and has put in the work and continues to be better. Talbot all last year and this year has said he needs to be better. Well what is he doing to be better? Actions speak louder than words. One guy is working his ass off to improve and it appears to be showing, the other guy is saying a lot of the right things but looks to still be on cruise control thinking things will just get figured out.
