  2. Rittich has actually been incredible at home. Can’t be worse than Talbot’s 5.3 GAA. I don’t think a lot of the goals have been his fault, but at the same time, I haven’t seen him step up and make many huge saves when we’ve needed them.

    Edit: Since Hiller took over, at home Talbot has a 2.34 GAA and .920 save % in 12 games. Dave Rittich has a 0.83 GAA and a .968 save % in 6 games including our only win against Edmonton in the regular season, a 4-0 shutout.

  3. If BSD can turn this around for the Kings and they win the series with him in net, I will buy TWO of his jerseys. One for my rotation of game jerseys, that I will never retire and a second to frame and put in my office, where it will never come down.

  4. Wanted him to start from the beginning of the series, we’re making the same mistake as last season: start the coldest goalie.

    I know Copley’s stats (save% / GAA) weren’t that great last season, but somehow the team won in front of him (24-6-3). Starting Korpisalo despite a run of bad games before playoffs started was such a dumb decision.

  5. Probably the right call, but we also need to score more than 1 goal tonight.

  6. Big save Dave time! Tough for Talbot, he had zero defense in front of him most of the time

  7. He should’ve been since game 1, game 2 at the latest. Cam was cold at the end of the season

  8. I just realized it’s only 2-1 Edmonton. My idiotic brain thought they had 3! We’re tying it up tonight boys

  9. This has really not been Talbot’s fault but I think he’s showing that he’s unable to save the Kings out of their defensive disaster and penalties. Might as well see if Riddich can although I’m not sure anyone could. Riddich’s numbers are so good though we have to give him a chance to be a superhero.

  10. Now we just hope that the team in front of him is a little more November and a whole lot less January.
