Concluding exit interviews for the 2023-24 season with a look at the three players who spoke who are pending unrestricted free agents this coming summer – Viktor Arvidsson, Matt Roy and Cam Talbot.
It’s the same ol’ story. Eight playoff runs since 2016-17, one series win, and an 0-6 record in winner-take-all games. Time after time this Toronto Maple Leafs team gets so close they can taste it, and then all hope disappears in one clear swoop.
Several forwards and defensemen have already spoken at the Kings 2023-24 player exit interviews. Now it’s time to hear from a goalie. First up, veteran netminder Cam Talbot shared the following thoughts… Talbot on not getting the start in Game 4 or 5: It’s tough.
The Edmonton Oilers came to play from the moment the puck was dropped in an overwhelming 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings Monday night. The Oilers used their speed to maintain a possession advantage over the Kings all night, constantly pinning them down as they laid on the attack.
Is there a better way to start the third round for the Oilers vs. Kings than a 7-4 dummying by the home side at Rogers Place? Absolutely not, friends. Even with the trio of flukey/own goals, the Oilers were by far the better hockey team for most of the night, earning their first Game 1 win since 2017.
Here are four of the biggest potential X factors for the Western Conference in this year's first round.
A look at the 2024 offseason market for goaltenders.
Quite the second half it’s been for goaltender Cam Talbot. To be fair, it’s been quite the second half for LA Kings goaltending in general. Since the NHL All-Star break, the Kings rank fifth in team save percentage, with Cam Talbot and David Rittich combining for a .919 mark in 23 combined games played.
Anze Kopitar scored twice, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Alex Laferriere and Jordan Spence each had a goal and an assist and Cam Talbot recorded a shutout as the visiting Los Angeles Kings routed the Chicago Blackhawks 5-0 on Friday.
He didn’t arrive with much fanfare but the resilient Cam Talbot feels determined to bring the LA Kings back to the playoffs and beyond. Entering the 2023-24 season, goaltending was arguably the biggest question mark for the LA Kings.
On this day in 2019, the Edmonton Oilers traded goaltender Cam Talbot to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Anthony Stolarz. The one-for-one goalie swap marked one of the first moves to be made in the post-Chiarelli era of the organization, with the ex-Oilers GM having been fired three weeks prior.
We are officially less than a month away from the 2024 NHL All-Star Game that will be in Toronto, Canada from Feb. 1-3. On Thursday, Jan. 4, the NHL revealed the initial 32 players that were named to the All-Star rosters for both the Eastern and Western Conferences.
Following Tuesday night’s 4-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, Cam Talbot and the Los Angeles Kings are starting to emerge as one of the stronger defensive clubs in the NHL.
All in all, it was a great road trip for the Toronto Maple Leafs. In the big picture, it was one of those trips that if, in the beginning, you’d have known your team would come home with a 3-1-1 record, you would have taken it.
The Kings’ goaltending situation is right back to where they started last season, as Cam Talbot and Pheonix Copley have struggled in one game each so far this season.
Cam Talbot has a new contract in place. The veteran goaltender has signed a new deal with the Los Angeles Kings. Talbot will have a one-year deal worth $1 million. After being traded from the Minnesota Wild to the Ottawa Senators, you’d think that he would’ve spent more time there.
The Los Angeles Kings have kicked off 2023 free agency with the signing of goaltender Cam Talbot to a one-year contract worth $1 million a season. At 35 years old, Talbot is coming off a short stint with the Ottawa Senators following a trade from the Minnesota Wild prior to the 2022-23 season.
The Ottawa Senators will not re-sign pending unrestricted free agent goalie Cam Talbot, general manager Pierre Dorion told reporters.
It’s unclear as to if this lower-body injury is a similar one to what kept Talbot out for a month recently, or if it’s a completely different injury.
While there are some red flags for Talbot’s future in the league—he’ll turn 36 in July, has dealt with injuries and is in the midst of one of the worst seasons of his career—there’s also reason to believe he could help a club looking to shore up its goaltending depth for a postseason run.
It’s not shaping up to be a particularly strong trade market for veteran goaltenders but Postmedia’s Ken Warren posits that Senators netminder Cam Talbot could be in play, suggesting the possibility of the veteran re-signing seems less likely now than just a few weeks ago.
Cam Talbot is hoping that a little homage to Deadpool and actor Ryan Reynolds might entice the Hollywood star to work a little harder or, at the very least, bring him good luck in his endeavors to try and become part of the new ownership group in Ottawa.
The Senators picked up goalie Magnus Hellberg on waivers from the Seattle Kraken.
The Ottawa Senators and Minnesota Wild decided to work together to swap goalies.
