Wow the knives are being sharpened for Talbot. He’s been very average for a while though.
I’m very intrigued what Koskinen might bring if he gets more starts. No need to wear Talbot to a little nub this year maybe. Perhaps he will find his game again.

Wouldn't say knives just for Talbot. He can be a damn good goalie. But, this whole team needs a mental reset IMO. When Talbot starts, he and the whole team play like something horrible is gonna happen and they always manage to make it so.

I agree with you about Talbot. The team seems to play more confident when Koskinen is in. By my eye, they seem to believe in him more right now. Quite frankly, I don't blame them. Save percentage = .918 vs .895. A 23 point difference is a hell of a lot. 2.52 GA vs 3.09 GA. Over half a goal a game is a hell of a lot. Now Talbot has more starts so you have to take that into account a little but a ton of those games was they rode Talbot for the first month. Koskinen at times looks a little odd in his saves and his glove hand doesn't look as smooth as some but who cares how he does it, the puck stays out.
I believe the Oilers are a team that mentally can handle a team scoring a few on them provided they deem them as good goals. Domi's goal was a hell of a shot, tip of the hat. Shaw's goal was a point blank bang bang, no chance goal. Tip of the hat. The rest of the game, Koskinen made all the saves he should and they cruised, they didn't flinch. The Avs game. The first goal SUCKED. Taking out that it happened in the first minute which made it worse, it was a bad goal by Talbot. So I think the team saw that, ass puckers and their game is done because they are worried Talbot doesn't have it. If you remember 2016, the team run and gun, made mistakes, defense wasn't great but they had complete confidence in Talbot making the saves he needed. Last season, the team run and gun, made mistakes, defense wasn't that great, Talbot didn't make the saves they needed, team crater. This year team runs and runs, defense isn't great, when they feel the goalie makes all the saves he should, they roll, when they don't they lose.
