Career
Jean-Guy Talbot, who preferred the body-hugging game, was considered an excellent passer throughout his career. Talbot went on the ice for the Trois-Rivieres Reds in the OJHL during his junior years from 1949 to 1952 . At the age of 20, the defensive player completed his first senior appearances with the Québec Aces in the Québec Hockey League . After the 1954/55 season Talbot, who finished the regular season with 34 points from 59 encounters, was elected to the league's First All-Star team . In the same season he had his first appearances for the Montréal Canadiens in the NHL, to which the left-handed shooter was loyal for the following 13 years and experienced the most successful era in franchise history with the Habs . With the Habs he usually wore the shirt number 17 and was also employed at times as an assistant captain. In his first full season with the Canadiens, the season 1955/56 , the defensive player won his first Stanley Cup with the team . The cornerstones of the successful Habs team during the 1950s and 1960s included Jean Béliveau , Bernie Geoffrion , Doug Harvey , Tom Johnson , Dickie Moore , Jacques Plante , Claude Provost , Henri Richard and Maurice Richard . In 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1965 and 1966 Talbot won six other Stanley Cups with the Montréal Canadiens. His personal best playing time was in the 1961/62 season with 47 scorer points in the regular season, for which the otherwise more defensive Talbot was rewarded with the nomination for the NHL First All-Star Team .
In 1956 , the French-speaking Canadian had his first appearance in the NHL All-Star Game . Six more followed, in which Talbot was mostly in the squad of the Habs, where he also represented the team of the NHL All-Stars once . In the NHL Expansion Draft in 1967 , the Canadiens left him unprotected, as they now rely on younger players like Serge Savard . The Minnesota North Stars took the opportunity and chose the defensive player. For this, however, Talbot only played four encounters before he was given to the Detroit Red Wings in October 1967 in an exchange deal with Dave Richardson in exchange for Bob McCord and Duke Harris . Talbot did not stay long in Detroit either and before the end of the 1967/68 season , on January 13, 1968, the Red Wings put him on the waiver list , from which the St. Louis Blues selected him. With the Blues he reached the finals of the Stanley Cup in 1968, 1969 and 1970, but lost the series respectively. After he had also started the 1970/71 season in St. Louis, they sent him to Buffalo in November 1970. At the Buffalo Sabers he helped stabilize the young defense, but missed the playoffs with the team. After the end of this season, Talbot decided to end his playing career.
Talbot remained in professional ice hockey as head coach and was hired as head coach of the Denver Spurs from the Western Hockey League during the 1971/72 season . During the following season, the St. Louis Blues signed him as head coach. The unsatisfactory sporting results cost him the job a year later, so that Talbot was replaced by Lou Angotti . In 1974, the French-speaking Canadian was again committed as head coach of the Denver Spurs, which now played in the Central Hockey League . For the 1975/76 season , the team continued playing in the World Hockey Association . In January 1976, the financially troubled franchise was relocated to Ottawa and continued gaming operations under the name Ottawa Civics . Talbot remained in office as head coach until their dissolution, which followed 15 days after the move. Another station in his coaching career were the New York Rangers in the 1977/78 season .
