Excerpts from Zander Hollander Complete Hockey Handbook, 1975-76 (by Reyn Davis)
A student of Montreal's fire-drill hockey, geared to success and excitement ... All he needs is the characters, about $2 million worth according to today's inflated standards ... Remembered as a defensive defenseman who loved a good practical joke during his playing days in Montreal and St. Louis ... Owner Ivan Mullenix's choice to coach the Spurs in the WHA, reflecting his satisfaction with Talbot's work behind the Spurs bench as a St. Louis Blues' farm club in the Central and Western Hockey Leagues ... Coaching style was influenced by Toe Blake and Scotty Bowman.
