Should the LA Kings BENCH Talbot?



The Edmonton Oilers beat the Los Angeles Kings 6-1 to take a 2-1 series lead. Cam Talbot has a .861 Save Percentage in this series. Should the Kings make a change in net?

  1. LA needs to stop getting penalties, the goalie can't play the 5th man on the ice and tend goal. Oilers have a good power play, LA seems to think they are going to muscle the Oilers.

  2. Playing Rittich isnā€™t going to solve anything. You might as well tell Talbot to stay home and enjoy the early vacation.

  3. OILERS had talbot as a goalie for a few years so we know how he works, the kings I notice plays dirty. Very happy the refs where on a canadian teams side for once.
    The kings will probably come back strong next game. Just as long as they play hockey and not a bar brawl. I feel sorry for the kings fans. Their team should not act like this in front of the home crowd. They game to watch a team play hockey.

  4. It's not goaltending from kings it's just poor play in general. They're being out classes on and off the ice. Can't keep their cool at all.

  5. There's nothing wrong with Talbot, it's the defence, LA has become the oilers at this point when it comes to defence, and believe me, having no real defensive structure sucks.

  6. Itā€™s crazy how despite letting in 6 goals, Talbot had +2.49 GSAx. This is proof that Talbot isnā€™t the only problem and goes to show just how badly the Kings were outplayed by the Oilers. The Oilers had 8.49 expected goals, the Kings had 2.17.

    In fact, if you look at Talbotā€™s GSAx for the whole series so far, youā€™ll see that he hasnā€™t been as bad as his .861 Sv% would suggest. He has a +0.2 GSAx in games 1, 2 and 3. So basically the reason why Talbotā€™s save percentage is so bad is because of bad defence by the Kings. Playing against one of the best offensive teams doesnā€™t help.

  7. Cant blame the loss on Talbot when theres multiple 5 on 3s. Kings need to stop with the dirty plays and focus on getting a lead on Oilers.

    Kings can't play from behind very well.

  8. Talbot is not the problem, the 18 skaters are the problem. It doesn't matter who's in goal, if the defense is not there and if they keep coughing up the puck and taking penalties, they're done!

  9. In favour of a guy who doesn't know Drai's one timer like the back of his hand? It'll just be worse.

  10. I wouldn't call it a bench. I'd give him a rest and try something different.

    We are only down 2-1. Not the last time that happened in tge playoffs…šŸ™„

  11. Talbot the problem? No. I think the 5+ pp's per game and the 40ish shots per game they're allowing might be part of the problem. You give the Oilers those types of shots i dont care if its Shesterkin, Vasilevski, Demko or Swayman in net. You can't beat the Oilers with that roadmap.

  12. As an Oilers fan I have to say Kempe might be the most underrated player in the NHL. For 3 years in a row every time he has the puck I'm terrified he's going to score. So I guess I can't imagine what it's like for Kings fans every time Mcdavid or Draisaitl have the puck lol

  13. Oilers offence is way too deep for L.Aā€¦ā€¦as an oilers fan I HATED when Talbot played for us. Nice guy though..lolšŸ˜‚

  14. It doesn't matter what the Kings do. The only thing that can stop the Edmonton Oilers now is the Edmonton Oilers. Real Oilers fans know what I mean. šŸ¤«
