About Rob Tallas

  • Robert Wayne "Robbie" Tallas (born March 20, 1973) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender.
  • He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks, appearing in 99 NHL games and compiling a record of 28–42–10.
  • He has been serving as the goaltending coach for the Florida Panthers since August 2009.He came out of retirement for one game on March 3, 2013 as a backup goalie for the Florida Panthers.
  • Then, exactly two years later, on March 3, 2015, during a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, both Panthers goaltenders (Roberto Luongo and Al Montoya) were injured during play.
  • Montoya stayed in the game, and Tallas quickly went to the dressing room to dress as his emergency backup.
  • He warmed up in the tunnel, but Luongo was able to re-dress and return to the game, sparing Tallas from action.
  • In both instances, Tallas had suited up, registered on the official team roster, and could have been called on the ice as a replacement but ended up not playing because the originally planned goaltender returned before a replacement was needed. Tallas was also part of the coaching staff of Italy men's national ice hockey team during the 2019 IIHF World Championship.
