Priceless...
What an experience being at that game. When Talbot did the “shhh” gesture, the Flyers fans around me started mocking him and used the usual educated four letter words. From that point on, you could just sense something was different. To actually watch the Flyers “fans” leave the arena after Crosby’s EN goal in person? Priceless…actually sat in front of an ex-Penguin that flew in from Dallas to watch the game. He only played for them for one season in the 1980s, and my apologies I did not get his name (I know, I know). It was nice to have an enforcer there though!
I love that he did this after getting his ass kicked. His team responds by scoring a goal, and after the goal the Flyers fall apart.
Way to turn getting beat down into a great comeback win. Love the shush by Talbot, that’s ballzy.
extremly balzzy. but his teammates backed it up big time.

Silence
Had to call the cable provider after Gonchar’s goal. Something happened to my audio, couldn’t hear they crowd at all ???
Funny
It is, but it doesn’t make any sense. When he was shushing the crowd, they were louder than before he got his ass beat. If you’re going to silence the crowd, you should probably, i don’t know, SILENCE the crowd. All Talbot did was get his face pounded, act like a tough guy, and watch his team silence Philly while he mended his wounds in the box.

The point is he stood up got knocked back down then called Philly out.
The fact that his team backed him up is what makes it great. A little bit of Max Talbot leadership at the expense of the Philly Philth. Since they won it’s incredibly sweet that he did it.

I'm not trying to fight, I just don't get it.
called Philly out for what? Cheering on a 3-0 lead and a victorious fight?
If the Penguins didn’t win, Talbot would just look like a jackass tying to tell the fans to stop raggin’ on him. And even though the Pens did win, you’re giving credit to a guy who got destroyed in a fight? If that’s the case, Riley Cote is our most valuable player.
Looking at it in the moment, it’s ridiculous. You’re down 3-0, you just lost a fight quite decisively, and the crowd is louder than it was before you got dropped. So you put your finger to your mouth?
Give the credit to Malkin for changing the momentum.

The commentators on NBC
immediately said that the fight was a possible momentum swinger, they jumped all over it and even chastised Carcillo for it. I feel the fight jump started a lethargic and somewhat shell shocked Penguins team, and you can’t argue with the next 2 periods after the fight….

disagree
i think it was the rapid chain of events that really caused this and talbots fight was the catalyst to wake the pens up. look at what happened, danny b pops one in on the PP, shortly there after the tablot fight. the immidiatly after the fight you have fed the tank poke one in and another penalty. thenk you have eatons goal. did geno and sid spark the team? i dont think so. i think talbot sparked the team. geno and sid threw jet-a fuel on the fire.
