]]> Maxime Talbot played a big role in the Pittsburgh Penguins quest for the Stanley Cup.  Game 7 ended with a final score of just 2-1 and guess who scored both of those goals?  Yeah, you probably already know it’s Talbot but I had to say it in case you didn’t.Maxime Talbot

The injury apparently plagued the star “for quite a while” but the 25-year-old played in the postseason with so much intensity that I never would have guessed that he was suffering from a torn labrum.  I have been living with the lingering discomfort associated with a similar shoulder injury and I can tell you that it’s pretty painful and all I do is type for a living.

According to TSN, he had surgery yesterday to repair the injury but it will take about four to five months for him to be ready to join his teammates.  "We all agreed it was best for him to have the surgery at this time," said GM Ray Shero. "Although he will miss training camp and the start of the season, the doctors expect him to make a complete recovery."

I think it’s better to lose a guy at the beginning of the season than the end so it sounds like a pretty good plan.  Hopefully he will able to work around the injury but still keep in shape.
