Max Talbot helped the Flyers beat his former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the playoffs back in 2012. So for that, Flyers fans probably remember his short stint with the club mostly fondly.
And they certainly don't want to see him get destroyed like he did in a recent KHL game.
Talbot was playing in a KHL playoff game between Yaroslavl Lokomotiv and CSKA where some dirty stuff went down that resulted in a whole lot of penalty minutes.
Here's how NBC Sports' Adam Gretz described the craziness:
Late in the second period Panin briefly lost his cool when he delivered a devastating hit to the head of former NHL player Max Talbot, injuring him and igniting a scrum that resulted in Panin slashing former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Brandon Kozun in the head.
As you can see in the video above, Kozun was in pretty bad shape after the incident and needed a lot of assistance just to get off the ice. Talbot was also injured as a result of the hit from Panin.
It all happened shortly after Talbot scored what would prove to be the game-deciding goal. So it's nice to see Talbot still has something left in the tank.
As for his part in it all, Grigory Panin was hit with a whopping 50 penalty minutes during the game and slapped with an 8-game suspension from the KHL today.
