did Cam Talbot honestly let in the first shot on goal again

how is that even possible, he must hold a record of some kind

don’t care if the defence is banged up, ship this dude out, he’s broken


Yep. To be fair to him though, the PK let the Philly player set up right in front of the net and did nothing to stop the pass for the easy tap in.


It's not just Talbot, it's a team thing. We have been doing this a lot for several years now. Would happen to Dubs, would happen to Scrivens, happens to Koskinen too. It's a self fulfilling prophecy for this team, we play like idiots in our end at the start of almost every game, and the brains don't start working until that first goal gets scored against. And a lot of times it's off the first shot off a golden opportunity.

It may simply be something that bad teams do :) We love to let the other team dictate how the game will be played. This team for the most part is just mentally fragile and aimless. You have McDavid and a bunch of guys that don't know their role, or can't think and move fast enough to fulfill their role even if they know what it is.

I was really hopeful that Hitch could spark something in these players brains and get them all on the same page, but it all looks basically the same still. These guys are just not capable. I know Nicholson said he saw them play good at some point, and therefore they should be able to play that way every night. Just doesn't work that way. Almost all good runs this season were a result of goalies doing crazy backflips along with some puck luck. Waiting for both of those to happen at the same time to be able to ever win games is just not enough to be a good team.
