Hartsheart

Which still didn't help him he has one start since he was traded there.

 

Strange for both clubs.

Yeah, that is what boggles my mind. He has one start since coming here and has played in two games total. If it is the teams reasoning to shop him down the road to be a starter then showcase him at least as a spell for Hart. As for what he is doing now when it comes time to move him if that is what the plan is they aren't even going to get a bag of used pucks for him because he hasn't been good this season.

I think you mean eight headed goalie system.

So true, it drives me crazy. Now with Carter Hart though maybe those days are coming to an end.

That my friend is the million dollar question many of us would love to have answered. Clearly it's not to have him play actual games, cause he hasn't been doing that.

 

I'd say the most likely scenario is that Talbot has been crapping the bed in practice, and the brass has never felt comfortable playing him. Aside from that, it might have been some sort of "favour" to Stolarz moving him to a market where he could become a starter while he's still in his prime. 

 

If in fact Elliott has been placed in net for Talbot because the former is proving to be a better goalie, that doesn't bode very well for Talbot at all. It's not like Elliott is lighting the world on fire. The bar is pretty low.

 

But for some reason, he's not getting ice time while Elliott has. That tells me something's clearly gone awry in the Talbot camp.

Another question I have is why do the Flyers always seem to have to go with the 3 headed Goalie system? To me that is nothing more than a big headache.

I honestly don't see the point of Talbot at all. There's likely a very good reason he hasn't had any ice time, and it's not because Elliott been stellar. It was a bad acquisition from the start imo, and I really hope Fletch doesn't tie up some 4-5mil in a guy like that. At least Elliott has a decent price tag. Talbot is no better than Elliott at twice the cost.

I can understand your point with the money, but what was the point in acquiring Talbot in the first place then? Not to just have him sit there and not have him play at all.

Worked like a dig might be pushing but he was coming off a injury and the Caps as your rehab assignment is a tough task for anyone coming back.

 

He bounced back his 976% is a testament to that he was outstanding in the Pens game.

 

The one thing they need to do is find a backup for him.

 

Will that be Talbot or Elliott?

 

Who can say right now since Talbot can't even sniff a start it seems they may resign paper mache Elliott.

What they need to do is re-assign paper mache Elliott out of here and let Cam Talbot be the back up and give him some starts. 

I think we all have to remember something about Hart. He is 20 years old and these things are going to happen during games from time to time. Plus he is being worked like a dog and most likely is banged up in some way which isn't helping matters much. I know one thing though overall I feel he has done an amazing job.
