Bye Bye Geno...

See you next year....

Pittsburgh Penguins' Evgeni Malkin suffers torn MCL, ACL - ESPN

 

[dash]

Ouch, first Crosby, now Malkin...Captain Obvious says that's not good.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Wow... that's messed up. Paging MAF, Letang, and Staal... time to step your game up.

 

[sbb122]

Opens up some much needed cap space at the deadline. IF Crosby can come back soon and healthy, Pens are still capable of making a deep run without Malkin.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Wow, Bad news for the Pens and their fans. I hope Malkin makes a full recovery.

That's true, LTIR gives them plenty of room for some rentawingers, and if Staal is as good as proclaimed, they won't miss a beat on the second line.

Huge loss. I hope he fully recovers. There isn't a player available to acquire for Pittsburgh who could possibly replace Malkin.

Mike Fisher.. Jason Spezza

Mike Fisher.. Jason Spezza

Fisher would be a good 3rd line center on a deep team. Which could work by moving Staal to the 2nd line. Spezza should be untouchable in Ottawa but that's my opinion. They should build around him not trade him.

Murray is going to want a lot for either one of them. Fisher has another year on his contract at 4.2 million.

It will be interesting to see just how much of the farm system Shero is willing to give up. Simon Depres is their best prospect. Tangradi & Beau Bennett I guess are after him.

It's a devastating loss no matter what.

Shelley, Zherdev, Carcillo.

Devastating doesn't begin to encompass my feelings. Tyler Meyers (although it really wasn't his fault...) is now on my hate list *sigh* certainly opens the door for a big deal, AND I think this team, the way it's played sans Sid and Geno has all the capability of WINNING a Cup without Geno (yes he was the reason they won it 09, but that Geno hasn't been around since then). Bold statement? Yes. But they've shown remarkable grit and determination. And we have the best AHL team, which has provided us with many capable players. Dustin Jeffery may never see AHL ice again.

Optimism is a beautiful thing Pix.


I'd wish your team luck, but it would just be hollow, soooo.... :p

I honestly don't see where Tyler Myers is to blame. He was doing his job as a D man to keep Malkin from getting to the puck.

It's not like he took out his knee or anything. These plays happen all the time and Malkin AND Myers both fell awkwardly.

exactly. it wasn't a dirty hit, or something that had intent to injure, freak accident.

I'm still going to blame Matt Cooke.

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

For some odd reason, I am not going to complain about this one

Yeah, if the Pens are going to get one of them then it would be Fisher. I don't think Spezza is going anywhere anytime soon.

Unfortunate for the Pens though. It's really too bad...

 

[ritari330]

Wow that sucks for the Pens

 

[Eddie_Shack]

This sucks big time for the Pens, yes, but I can almost hear a collective

Coming from the Eastern Conference.

I know. But he was at the scene of the crime. Like I said, it wasn't his fault at all, but it was his ginormous body that caused the incident, therefore I don't like him. Not saying it was dirty, just in a sad mood. This weekend could be catastrophic if tomorrow doesn't go well :P
