PITTSBURGH (AP) - Maxime Talbot loves playing hockey and, perhaps even more, talking about it. The enjoyment he gets from playing the sport is difficult to disguise.
Starting Friday, Talbot will enter a new arena in which the passion and personality he brings to hockey must hide behind a poker face.
Talbot isn't a star yet — he had 13 goals and 24 points in 75 games last season — but he was good enough to beat Martin Brodeur, Bryan McCabe, Sheldon Souray, Simon Gagne and 11 others in a televised charity poker tournament for current or former NHL players.
