Are you saying there is no time that he can be pulled?! Ever?
Let's say Tampa (for the sake of discussion) holds sway tomorrow, he has a steady game, but comes up short - final score 2-1 with 25 saves.
They go to NY Sunday, facing elimination, and he gives up a soft goal in the first period.
He is GONE. Has to be.

Sieve? That's a bit strong. Forgetting all other intangible aspects for a moment, Talbot hasn't played a game in 6 weeks. Tough spot for him to step into, if it were even a consideration, which it probably isn't.
