Having already outplayed Vezina favourite Connor Hellebuyck in the qualifying round, Calgary's Cam Talbot is embracing the opportunity to face either Jordan Binnington or Ben Bishop for the NHLFlames' next test. (via EricFrancis)
to be named the Flames’ Game 1 starter one day before the playoffs, he out-duelled 31-game winner Hellebuyck, whose only consolation will come in the form of this year’s Vezina.
“The last couple years didn’t really go the way I wanted it to. I was looking for that kind of redemption year. When you look at this lineup and I had the opportunity to sign here, it was kind of a no-brainer to play behind a group like this. I knew that if I could come in and get back to playing my game and get some confidence back, I could prove I can be a starting goaltender in this league.”
By season’s end he was the better goalie who, more importantly, outplayed Rittich in training camp 2.0.
