'''Maxime Talbot''' (born February 11, 1984) is a [[Canadian]] former professional [[ice hockey]] [[Center (ice hockey)|centre]] who played in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) for the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], [[Philadelphia Flyers]], [[Colorado Avalanche]] and [[Boston Bruins]]. He was drafted into the NHL out of the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL) by the Pittsburgh Penguins, 234th overall, in the [[2002 NHL Entry Draft]]. He led the [[Gatineau Olympiques|Hull/Gatineau Olympiques]] to back-to-back [[President's Cup (QMJHL)|President's Cups]] while earning the [[Guy Lafleur Trophy]] as playoff MVP both years.

During the [[2009 Stanley Cup Finals]] against the [[Detroit Red Wings]], while still playing for Pittsburgh, Talbot scored his team's only two goals in Pittsburgh's 2–1 victory over Detroit in the series-deciding Game 7, securing the Penguins' [[Stanley Cup]] championship win.

Talbot finished his career playing three seasons in the [[Kontinental Hockey League]] (KHL) for [[Lokomotiv Yaroslavl]] and [[Avangard Omsk]].

==Playing career==

===Amateur===
Talbot was selected by the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL)'s [[Rouyn-Noranda Huskies]] in the first round of the 2000 QMJHL Draft. At the league trade deadline that year, Talbot was traded to the [[Hull Olympiques]] in exchange for [[Alexandre Giroux]].<ref name="HF">{{cite web|url=http://hockeysfuture.com/prospects/maxime_talbot |author=Hockey's Future |title=Maxime Talbot Player Profile Pittsburgh Penguins |access-date=April 29, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070427013747/http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/maxime_talbot |archive-date=April 27, 2007 }}</ref> Talbot completed his [[Junior ice hockey#Major junior|major junior]] rookie season with a combined 37 points between the two teams.

Before the start of the [[2002–03 QMJHL season|2002–03 season]], Talbot was named team captain for the Olympiques and finished the year with a major junior career-high 46 goals and 104 points in 69 games, good for fifth in QMJHL scoring and for QMJHL Second All-Star Team honours.<ref name="HF"/> In the playoffs that year, he led the league in scoring with 44 points in 20 games as he captained the Olympiques to a [[President's Cup (QMJHL)|QMJHL Championship]], also earning the [[Guy Lafleur Trophy]] as playoff MVP in the process. Playing the [[Ontario Hockey League]] (OHL)'s [[Kitchener Rangers]] in the final of the subsequent [[2003 Memorial Cup]], they were defeated 6–3.

In the [[2003–04 QMJHL season|2003–04 season]], Talbot finished third in scoring in the QMJHL with 98 points (25 goals and 73 assists) in 51 games as the team became the [[Gatineau Olympiques]] through the amalgamation of [[Hull, Quebec|Hull]] into the [[Gatineau|City of Gatineau]]. He led the team to a second consecutive QMJHL championship while again being named playoff MVP and leading the league in playoff scoring for the second-straight year. He was the first to earn back-to-back Guy Lafleur Trophies since [[Marc Saumier]] in [[1986–87 QMJHL season|1987]] and [[1987–88 QMJHL season|1988]].<ref name="HF"/> However, the Olympiques were defeated for the second-straight year in the [[2004 Memorial Cup|Memorial Cup Final]], losing 2–1 to the [[Western Hockey League]] (WHL)'s [[Kelowna Rockets]].

===Pittsburgh Penguins===
[[File:Max Talbot 2011-01-08.jpg|thumb|right|Talbot during his final season with the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] in January 2011]]
As the [[2004–05 AHL season|2004–05 season]] approached, Talbot was signed by the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] and was assigned to make his professional debut with the team's [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]]. He was assigned to various linemates and was placed in many role playing opportunities.<ref name="HF"/> He did not have the offensive power in the AHL, however, that he did in the QMJHL, but nonetheless Talbot showed quality traits in other aspects of the game as he finished his debut season with 19 points (7 goals and 12 assists) in 75 games.<ref name="HF"/>

With an impressive training camp, Talbot made the Penguins' opening roster for the [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06 season]], making his NHL debut against the [[New Jersey Devils]]. He scored his first career NHL goal on October 14, 2005, from centre ice against the [[Philadelphia Flyers]]. His primary role during his rookie season was that of a penalty killer.<ref name="HF"/> He would later be sent down to the AHL after 48 games in the NHL, during which time he recorded eight points (five goals and three assists).

Talbot did not start the [[2006–07 NHL season|2006–07 season]] in the NHL but was recalled by Pittsburgh on October 24, 2006, just five games into the AHL season.<ref name="WBS">{{cite web|url=http://0607.wbspenguins.com/news/news_releases/102406_talbot.asp |author=Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins |title=Talbot Recalled by Pittsburgh |access-date=April 29, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928050424/http://0607.wbspenguins.com/news/news_releases/102406_talbot.asp |archive-date=September 28, 2007 }}</ref> He would play that same night against New Jersey. Talbot continued to play a key role on the penalty kill, recording four [[short-handed]] goals to go with a season total of 24 points (13 goals and 11 assists).

Talbot scored four goals in the first five games of the [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]]. He was the part of an on-ice prank on December 1, 2007, when he briefly donned the jersey of teammate [[Sidney Crosby]] during an optional practice that Crosby had chosen to skip. He initially drew a large cheer from the crowd in [[Toronto]] before they realized the jersey switch.

In Game 3 of the [[2008 stanley cup playoffs#.282.29 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. .287.29 Ottawa Senators|2008 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals]], Talbot scored a backhand goal against [[Ottawa Senators]] goaltender [[Martin Gerber]] less than five minutes after the Senators had taken the lead in that game. In the Conference Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers, Talbot scored the game-winning goal in the third period of Game 2. He did this in his first game back from a broken foot that had sidelined him for the previous four playoff games. In Game 5 of the [[2008 Stanley Cup Finals]] against the [[Detroit Red Wings]], he scored the tying goal with 35 seconds remaining, allowing the Penguins to score in triple overtime to force a Game 6.

Midway through the final year of his initial contract with the Penguins, [[2008–09 NHL season|2008–09]], on December 19, 2008, Talbot signed a new two-year contract with Pittsburgh through to the end of the [[2010–11 NHL season|2010–11 season]]. The Penguins returned to the [[2009 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]] for the second consecutive year against Detroit. Talbot scored both of the Penguins' goals in the seventh and deciding game of the series to capture Pittsburgh's third [[Stanley Cup]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Penguins' Talbot cements reputation as big-game player|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hnicplayoff/2009/06/penguins_talbot_cements_reputa.html|access-date=2009-06-15|date=2009-06-13|publisher=CBC}}</ref>

For the [[2009–10 NHL season|2009–10 season]], Talbot served as the Penguins' representative to the [[National Hockey League Players' Association]] (NHLPA), a position he took over from [[Matt Cooke]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09360/1023749-61.stm | work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | title=Penguins' Talbot acts as go-to guy between teammates, players' association | first=Dave | last=Molinari | date=December 26, 2009}}</ref>

While playing for the Penguins, Talbot has appeared in numerous television commercials, including Valley Pool and Spa, City of Champions Crunch cereal (which featured Talbot on one side of the box and [[Pittsburgh Steelers|Pittsburgh Steeler]] [[Hines Ward]] on the other) and three commercials for Pittsburgh A&L Motor Sales (these A&L commercials have earned him the nickname "Superstar"). He also appeared in a [[Reebok]] commercial with teammate Sidney Crosby, which aired during the [[2010 NHL Winter Classic]].

While promoting the [[2011 NHL Winter Classic]], Talbot called-out [[Washington Capitals]] captain [[Alexander Ovechkin]] during an interview with a Pittsburgh radio station, calling him "a real douche".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Talbot: Ovechkin 'a real douche' Penguins forward fires verbal assault on Capitals star|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Pittsburgh/2010/07/27/14846636.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120716004624/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Pittsburgh/2010/07/27/14846636.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 16, 2012}}</ref>

===Philadelphia Flyers and Colorado Avalanche===
[[File:Max Talbot 2011-12-29.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Talbot returns to Pittsburgh as a member of the [[Philadelphia Flyers]], December 2011]]
After being unable to come to terms with the Penguins on a new contract, Talbot signed a five-year, $8.75&nbsp;million contract with the Penguins' [[Flyers–Penguins rivalry|in-state rival]] Philadelphia Flyers on July 1, 2011. On December 29, 2011, during a 4–2 Philadelphia victory, Talbot scored an empty net goal in his first game back in Pittsburgh against the Penguins since signing with the Flyers. He would finish his first season in Philadelphia appearing in 81 regular season games, scoring 19 goals and 15 assists for a total of 34 points; all three statistics were NHL career-highs for Talbot. Talbot and the Flyers would ultimately face the Penguins in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals of the [[2012 Stanley Cup playoffs|2012 playoffs]], a series that saw the Flyers defeat the Penguins in six games. Talbot scored four goals during the series, two of which were short-handed.

After the first month of the [[2013–14 NHL season|2013–14 season]] with the Flyers, on October 31, 2013, Talbot was traded to the [[Colorado Avalanche]] in exchange for [[Steve Downie]].<ref>{{Cite web| url = https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=435516 | title = Avalanche trade Downie back to Flyers for Talbot | publisher = [[The Sports Network]] | date = 2013-10-31 | access-date = 2013-10-31}}</ref> On December 6, 2013, Talbot scored his first Avalanche goal in a 3–2 win over the [[Calgary Flames]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Avalanche vs Flames|url=https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/cgy-vs-col/2013/12/06/2013020436|work=[[National Hockey League]]|access-date=2013-12-06}}</ref>

===Boston Bruins===
With the Avalanche on the outside of the [[2015 Stanley Cup playoffs|2015 playoff]] picture, Talbot was traded at the [[NHL trade deadline]] on March 2, 2015, (along with [[Paul Carey (ice hockey)|Paul Carey]]) to the [[Boston Bruins]] in exchange for [[Jordan Caron]] and a sixth-round pick in the [[2016 NHL Entry Draft]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://bruins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=756148 | title = Bruins announce trade deadline transactions | publisher = [[Boston Bruins]] | date = 2015-03-02 | access-date = 2015-03-02}}</ref>

On December 21, 2015, the NHL announced that it was suspending Talbot for two games because of a hit on New Jersey Devils forward [[Jiří Tlustý]] in a game played the day prior.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/12/21/bruins-max-talbot-suspended-two-games/2MEc1NJM06kPEubHBk2j4K/story.html | title =  Bruins Max Talbot suspended two games | publisher = [[Boston Globe]] | date = 2015-12-21 | access-date = 2015-12-21}}</ref>

===Kontinental Hockey League===
At the conclusion of his contract with the Bruins, and as an impending free agent, Talbot opted to continue his playing career abroad in the [[Kontinental Hockey League]] (KHL), agreeing to a one-year deal with Russian club [[Lokomotiv Yaroslavl]] on May 27, 2016.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://hclokomotiv.ru/news/news/maks_talbo_v_lokomotive_/ | title = Max Talbot in Lokomotiv | publisher = [[Lokomotiv Yaroslavl]] | date = 2016-05-27 | access-date = 2016-05-27 | language = ru}}</ref> Talbot played two seasons with Lokomotiv before leaving as a free agent and signing a one-year contract on August 25, 2018, to remain in the KHL with [[Avangard Omsk]] for the [[2018–19 KHL season|2018–19 season]].<ref>{{Cite web| url = http://www.hawk.ru/news/32032/ | title = Avangard complete contracts with Desharnais and Talbot | publisher = [[Avangard Omsk]] | date = 2018-08-25 | access-date = 2018-08-25 | language = ru}}</ref>
