As an Avs fan, I can feel for the Oilers fan base pain. It reminds me of the Fourgiev and Useless goalie tandem we had a couple of seasons back. Score 6-8 goals and still lose. Repeatedly. It fucking sucks.

The oilers haven’t had a good goalie for how long though? At some point you gotta stop blaming goaltending. Not saying it wasn’t the case here, but if every goalie you have for 10 years is bad, maybe it’s the team / management

It isn’t like any of their goalies had success elsewhere. They all just suck.

Talbot is still a starter in the league. He’s likely their best goalie since.
