Maxime "Max" Talbot (born February 11, 1984) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who currently plays for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Was drafted out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), Talbot led the Hull/Gatineau Olympiques to back-to-back President's Cups while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as playoff MVP both years. He won the Stanley Cup with his previous team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in 2009.
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 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 an RBK commercial with teammate Sidney Crosby which aired during the 2010 NHL Winter Classic.
While promoting the 2011 NHL Winter Classic, Talbot called out Alexander Ovechkin during an interview with a Pittsburgh radio station, calling him "a real douche."
After being unable to come to terms with the Penguins on a new contract, Talbot signed a five-year, $8.75 million contract with the Penguin's 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 38 points, all three were NHL career highs for Talbot. Talbot and the Flyers would face the Penguins in the first round of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, a series that saw the Flyers defeat the Penguins in six games. Talbot scored four goals during the series, two of which were shorthanded. Source: wikipedia.org
