The Los Angeles Kings have had some luck with their goaltender and former Oilers player Cam Talbot. As expected, Edmonton fans have taken the tradition of calling out the opposing team's goalie in the game seriously, starting their chants against him ahead of their last game before the anthem even began.

However, this 36-year-old veteran goaltender demonstrated his sense of humor and took these chants in stride. His response turned Oilers fans on their head when he implied they simply miss him playing for their team.
«It's just because they miss me. I think they just miss me and they're cheering for me at this point. That's how I channel it in my head.»
While some NHL fans are taking the opportunity to poke fun at this player, most have expressed their appreciation of Talbot's attitude. It is clear to them he always takes the heat of the competition lightly and remains a class act.
