Talbot: Game 5 Status is Unknown
The status of Penguins forward Max Talbot for Game 5 today against the New York Rangers remains unclear.
-
Talbot missed Game 4 Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York because of what is believed to be a broken left foot he got in Game 3
-
He did not join the team for practice at Southpointe but skated earlier.
-
"He practiced on his own and he felt pretty good, so we'll see for [today]," Penguins coach Michel Therrien said.
Jarkko Ruutu: A pest worth loving
"The fans caught on. They love him," Barbaro said. "Even when he makes a hit, there's a spontaneous chant of Rooooo-tooooo."
How a pest, agitator, pot-stirring role player with a notorious reputation captures the fancy of hometown fans is just one of many subplots in the playoffs, but as the saying goes, the Cup changes everything.
Opponents disdain him the way they loathe mosquito bites or jock itch -- irritants that must be dealt with and get worse when scratched. In the blogosphere, anonymous postings rant about his villainy even as Web surfers are drawn to his hits and fights on YouTube, including his run at Jaromir Jagr in the 2006 Olympics.
There's no middle ground with Ruutu, whose facial scars are a road map of his style. If he's wearing the home sweater, he's cheered. For those on the other side, he's a dirty fiend and cheap-shot artist. Call it selective outrage.
