Re: Who to own in a keeper league - Talbot or Allen?
I prefer Talbot. He plays a calm style in net, and has excellent technique. Allen is an average goalie in my opinion. He lacks in certain fundamentals and does not read the play well in front of him, relying too often on his athleticism to make saves. One thing people often neglect is how important hockey sense is for a goalie. I also think that Allen can be weak mentally. He's very lucky to play in front of a strong team in my opinion.
Keep tabs on a guy named Ville Husso if you own Allen. Putting up some good numbers in front of a weak AHL team and is someone the Blues hold in high regard.
