Happy Sunday. I’m here, you’re here, so let’s go a little light and look back to the happy memory of Max Talbot’s first career goal in the NHL. All first goals are special and memorable, and hoo boy, this one takes the cake.
Talbot battles for a faceoff at center ice and just flicks the puck in as his fourth line (Andre Roy and Ryan Vandenbussche sightings!) immediately goes to the bench for a change. The game was in Philadelphia and these guys were probably mismatched by the Flyers having the last change and just instructed to get back to the bench as soon as possible.
