Apparently Vladislav Tretiak will be at the game today to scout for Team Russia. Will this push Malkin to break out of his semi-slump?
I remember when Geno was in a slump prior to the Pens playing Ottawa on 12/23/09, and he finished that game with a hat trick while Tretiak was in the building. At this point, I'm hoping for any positive thing.Apparently Vladislav Tretiak will be at the game today to scout for Team Russia. Will this push Malkin to break out of his semi-slump?

He's been a nice surprise and looked good with Geno, but his last name isn't D'Agostini and he wasn't one of Shero's biggest FA signings this offseason, so he probably will be kept up for a while, maybe given 5 minutes on a 4th line in a few games, and then be sent down.
Now that Neal is back I expect that Geno will be performing better again.
Regardless, a Russian scout being there isn't going to have much impact on Geno. He's a lock to the make the team.
Scouting Evgeni Malkin in 2013 for the Olympics... Russian tax dollars well spent.
I don't think they pay their taxes
Anyone watching this NHL Rivals show?
Edit - Guess not lol. Pretty good production value from NBCSN.
This is the night Crosby comes out of his funk. Losing streak, nationally televised game, playing against the Flyers. 4 points for the Captain is my prediction.
Hopefully Letang and Maatta will look good together.
Why so one of our good players can get "Gillied"?
