Malkin STEPPED UP...
That was just a hot streak. You really believe in this hocum?
Malkin STEPPED UP...
Ha!
that is a big problem no one brings up much. Way too many dumb penalties.
Let me ask this question... do the Pens play reckless in general, or do they only do it because, for the most part, they have an awesome PK and know it usually bails out a hook or an interference?

With Malkin it is 100% mental. He has the talent to play at the level of a top 5 player in the NHL all the time but he chooses not to. Why? The only one's that can answer that are his Psychiatrist and him.
Its so mellow over here, Blue haha.
Some nut-busting goes on, but it's all in fun... and if it isnt, IP's get banned!
Maybe you can get that Reds board built up a little better!
I have nothing against Jordan Staal. I think he's a very good player.
However, how many of the following players would you rather have than Jordan Staal?
Jonathan Toews
Nicklas Backstrom
Phil Kessel
Chris Stewart
If I was starting a team from scratch? Most of them.
If I had a Malkin and Crosby already, though.... that changes the entire equation, doesn't it? Having them makes you need a Towes or Backstrom so much less.
Sorry, that "best 3rd line in hockey" on the Cup run was a beast. None of the above would have run a shut-down line as well in my sorry opinion!
The only reason I asked about those specific players is because they were in the same draft class as Staal & could have been taken with the 2nd pick overall.
