"Well, that's me, too. That's how I feel. All these great things keep happening to me. What am I doing here? I'm like, 'Wow! I'm a nobody.' "

Funny thing is, Talbot practically predicted he would do something special the morning of the game.

"[Teammate Evgeni Malkin] was right last year when he said I have no hands," Talbot said.

Well, it's not so hilarious now, is it?

That's not as crazy as those clever car ads would have you believe. In the Cup final against Detroit a year earlier, he scored the tying goal in epic Game 5 with 34.3 seconds left, giving the Penguins a chance to win in the third overtime. Before Game 7 in Detroit, he was best known in the '09 playoffs for his fight with Philadelphia's Daniel Carcillo in Game 6 of the first round -- "I got my [fanny] kicked, but it might have been a series-changer," he said -- but he also had scored six goals, including the clincher in Game 4 in the second-round series against the Washington Capitals. Talbot has a track record. As a player in juniors, he twice was named MVP of the playoffs as his team won consecutive championships.

Not after Talbot scored both goals in the Penguins' 2-1 Game 7 win in Detroit to secure their third Cup in franchise history and his place for eternity in NHL lore.

On the night of June 12, when he became one of the most unlikely Game 7 heroes in Stanley Cup final history, Max Talbot made an entire city smile and one wonderfully creative advertising agency cry.

"I heard Hines Ward on the radio the other day," Talbot was saying about the Steelers' redoubtable receiver during a break from his rehab. He said his life is like Forrest Gump's. "I never met him, but that guy seems so cool. Things just keep happening to him.

You could have fooled the Red Wings when Talbot slapped those two goals by goaltender Chris Osgood early in Game 7 for a 2-0 lead that Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made stand up.

While the advertising agency probably is scrambling to save its hard work -- "There might be a new commercial coming out soon," Talbot said, grinning as he gave away his little secret -- Pittsburgh will say thank you to its newest sports legend tonight when he's introduced with the rest of the Penguins before their season-opening game against the New York Rangers. Talbot won't play because of offseason shoulder surgery, but he still figures to get a Crosby-, Malkin- and Fleury-like ovation that will rock old Mellon Arena.

The terrific television ad campaign the past two NHL seasons, starring Talbot for a local car dealership, was hilarious and memorable because the grinding Talbot passed himself off as a hockey superstar in his own goofball way.

It's funny stuff, especially when you consider this:

"TSN [the Canadian cable-TV sports outlet] asked me who I thought was going to be the hero that night," he said. "I told them I liked to think it was going to be me."

"You can just call me Max or Superstar," Talbot says in one of the commercials. Later, he talks of getting "Superstar treatment" from the dealership, his signature line in the bit.

That was Talbot's appeal to the car dealership. After joining the Penguins for the 2005-06 season, he quickly became popular with fans because of his work ethic and his willingness to do the dirty work as a role player on a checking line and as a penalty-killer. Clearly, it wasn't because of his skill.
