I'm not blaming this on Talbot entirely, though I would rather have seen Koski take over after the 3rd goal. The Oil defense just leaked shots and chances all night, and you can't do that against a team that has the firepower that the Jets do. There is only so much Hitch can do when he has to work with inferior players like Garrison.

This is where I will say: Fire Chia, because he "gifted" Garrison and Wideman to this team.


I agree with you. I wasn't a big fan of the Laine goal. Laine got off a good shot from a good area but he didn't pick a corner. He put it right through Talbot. If your goalie is getting that much of a shot, that to me says you should have stopped it. The winner was a bad goal. An unscreened wrist shot from a non high danger scoring area from a guy who has a career high 7 goals, you have to stop that. I am thankful for most of his effort and he helped get them the point but when your team scores you 4 goals, you should win most of those games. But when your goalie has .875%, you aren't winning very often.


Pretty sure Gravel put on a perfect screen on Talbot for the Laine goal. Laine in the slot, goalie screened. If Laine shoots that puck in a place that isn't already covered by the goalie, it's going in. Talbot almost got lucky and had it hit him. If you don't want to get scored on, don't let guys like Laine get the puck wide open in your slot, and don't screen your goalie.

Koskinen let in worse goals than that against Colorado.

There is the link to the goal. Talbot saw the shot because he moved to it. The shot hits Talbot right in the glove. It was a good shot from a good shooter but if you are able to move your glove and get that much of it, you should have stopped it in my opinion. No excuse for the winner in my books. That shot can't go in. He wasn't bad last night but I don't think he was good either. With a depleted line up, the Oilers margin for error was basically zero. They managed to score 4 goals on a really good team on the road in a tough building with a brutal defense. You should win those games when that happens. I had this as a guaranteed loss night so the fact they got a point is awesome but for them to win last night, they needed their goalie to be real good. He wasn't.


Just to follow up on this. I was confused still why Talbot reacted that goal like he did. I thought he reacted like he did because of the screen, but as you said he does move the glove. Turns out what happened was the puck hit Gravel's glove on the way to the net and dipped. That's why Talbot looked confused of where that puck hit him and landed. Just bad luck. No good replays that can show it, but seen a couple people now in media say that's what happened.
