I actually do not enjoy picking on Ebs but that last one was on him too...he can't win the battle on his wall.

If he isn't scoring he isn't worth having on the team

Shut up. Seriously

He has games like this more often than he should. Look at his save percentage game by game. This happens quite a bit where he does amazing, then poops the bed.

How daft do you have to be to not realize that EVERY single goalie has off games? The far more valuable trait is how he bounces back almost every time.

He is too skilled to just give him away though, blessed with a pair of softer hands than 85% of the league. I just wish he would be more engaged. If it weren't for RNH he'd be -5 tonight instead of -3.

Very aggravating to watch.

And I totally expect him to have a bounce back game and Edmonton win the next two.

I just don't appreciate being called a retard because I said he cost them this game. And you can totally fact check me on that. If he was more consistent, he would've had a much better save percentage and goals against average, thus being a finalist.

He's been paired with McDavid and Lucic for most of the game lol.

You should totally order a PPV on that big 40incher now that the game is over!

I wouldn't "give" him away... just use him in a hockey trade.

Fact check what? That other great goalies don't have off nights? I don't need to but evidently you need to have an obvious fact pointed out to you. ALL the best goalies in the league have inconsistencies in some manner because it's all but impossible to be above average to great every single game.

I shouldn't have to explain this to anyone as it's such a simple reality of hockey. The best goalies are those that make the important saves more often than not and Talbot does just that.

Look at Talbot's game by game numbers. You'll see three good games and a bad game. Hurt his numbers.

Plus he made zero big saves tonight, Gibson did.

Hsd Talbot not (frank)ed up on that fourth goal, Edmonton probably would've won that game.

That 4th goal really was a backbreaker. Right when they had all the momentum in the world. Going into the 3rd tied or even up by 1 would have been massive.

What do you think I did? Look at every other goalie's game-by-game numbers. Yeah, he didn't make the big saves tonight; that's not what this is about. No one can look at that game and say he didn't have a bad night. The point is that every. Single. Goddam goalie. Has those sorts of nights. All of them. Without exception.

Watch more hockey.
