Re: Rask vs talbot rest of year only
Honestly, it's hard to say, really it's a coin flip, go with your gut at this point.
Rask: Pro's - Elite goaltender, has literally never had a bad season stat wise, has been the Bruin's "Guy" for the past decade, coaches can say whatever they like, there definitely is a loyalty factor that comes into play at times, he's 34 but also has been an elite goalie his entire stay in NHL, elite goalies (or players of any type) seem to have more staying power then their less talented peers.
Con's - Coming off a long hiatus and from hip surgery, we saw how badly that affected Schneider, Bruins signed Ullmark this off-season to a nice contract and for the most part has lived up to that contract.
Talbot: Pro's - Minny looks like the better team as a whole, they're firing on all cylinders, had a bit of a resurgence last year with them, for all intent and purposes, he was the starter at the start of the season, Khako has 100% outplayed him so far this year but we've all seen time and time again that it takes a long time for the backup to wrest the starting gig away from the starter.
Con's - He has been outplayed by Khako, he's 34 (same as Rask) but wherein Rask is and always has been an elite top tier goalie, Talbot has been all over the place in his career, not a lot of goalies like that are starters in their mid 30's, outside of the few elite goalies ie; Luongo/Brodeur/Lundkvist etc; this is the age where they start to lose their hold on being considered a legit starting goalie.
If you can't decide, flip a coin lol, let the fates decide.
