Cam Talbot And His "Sense of Entitlement" Shipped Back to Connecticut

[Note by Jim Schmiedeberg, 03/02/11 11:11 AM EST I thought maybe we could use a laugh today, hope this helps.]
Apparently the Rangers were serious when they said playing time would be based on merit, and would have to be earned, as the woefully unproductive Cameron Talbot was banished to Connecticut following another inept performance in last night's 2-1 (or was it 3-2? Or maybe it was 4-3? Ahhh who the hell knows, it's all the same these days, they lost by a goal, that's all I remember. Ok, back to this bum Talbot) loss to Buffalo.
"There's not going to be a sense of entitlement around here like there was in the past", said John Tortorella after the game. "Right now, Talbot is contributing absolutely nothing to this team, and that simply won't be tolerated. So for now, he's going back to Connecticut. He can go deliver pizzas for whatshisface for all I care."
While it may seem harsh to blame a rookie for all the Rangers' woes, the numbers don't lie (they just don't agree with you....yeah we get it George. That guy and his numbers, Sister Mary Francis, can you guys keep up with that stuff? I can't, I swear I get a case of the "Boogaards" with that corsi stuff, and I have to go lie down in a dark room for an hour......wait, what was I talking about? Oh, Talbot, right.) 0 goals, 0 assists, it's obvious to everyone that Rangers are not getting their money's worth out of him. So I applaud this move. I mean, do you even notice him when he is on the ice? I can't remember this guy taking one shift last night, and every time they show the bench, he is just sitting there, doing nothing. I've had enough of Cam Talbot, and I'm glad to see the Rangers have too.
"How do you just lose the puck on a 3 on 1? It's inexcusable" Torts added, exasperated, "We've done hours and hours of teaching with Cammer, talked to him about his play on the ice, but the focus just isn't there. He isn't fore-checking, he isn't finishing, he isn't going to the net, and all the bad penalties he is taking are just killing us."
Good riddance Talbot, you're done costing this team games.

I thought Talbot performed well last night. I didn’t see him fall once on the trips to his seat on the bench. I think he would’ve done well with being mic’d on the bench tomorrow night, but hopefully CJ can step up there.

Am I missing the punch line here? Isn’t Talbot a Goaltender? That would explain why he was sitting on the bench doing nothing
Yes, I believe you did.

Looks like you need to bold and highlight that note at the top.
Manning lobs it, Burress alone, touchdown New York!
For the empty net, Mark Messier... do you believe it?! Do you believe it?! He said we will win game 6 - he has just picked up the hat trick!

Will getting no goals and no assists now be known as "pulling a Talbot"
Or no goals no assist and no ice time a “Cam Talbot hat trick”
I thought that was an ‘Enver.’

you are onto something here Jim
Very funny piece, but I’m with you—fresh scapegoats must be found. There’s always someone to blame for these losses, and usually it’s the backup goaltender’s fault.
Prole art threat.
When I first read the title
I thought the kid must have given Torts the finger from the bench or something.
“What, you are giving the start to HANK!!! WTF did you call me up for!!!???” LoL
GOOD RIDDANCE YA BUM!
How do you let last night happen Talbot? Where the hell was your head? What the shit were you thinking? You’ve cost this team for the last time! Have fun rotting away in Connecticut with Redden.

that’s a pretty accurate description of how things are going in Connecticut
