He looks like he's fully recovered from his knee surgery, as in gaining his full strength back, skating wise he looks perfectly fine, he's also his usual physical self and hard to contain in all 3 zones.Every player goes on heaters.. so i wanna hear from pens fans how does he actually look? I heard he lost a step last season, so just wondering.
Geno has had a lot of injuries the last few years and it looks like this is the first time he's finally healed from them all properly and just looks healthy again. He's definitely not getting much help from Bunting or Rakell at all either, it's just Geno being Geno right now and he's still an elite beast.

Obviously not. That's why I asked how he actually looks..Also, are you lot seriously acting like Malkin, an elite talent in his career in this league, is somehow just some player that has heaters? Lol. I get blokes here want to keep disrespecting Geno but seriously, that's a dumb take.
Bunting has 1 assist and Rakell has 3 goals and 0 assists in the season so far, so Malkin is quite literally a one man army right now. 7 of his 11 points are at ES.
Perhaps it would help their individual stats but they HAVE won 3 Stanley Cups. No guarantee of that kind of success.I wish Prime Crosby and Malkin would have entered in 2024 version of NHL. They have lost over season worth of games due dirty plays that isn't present in todays league.
5 games is all we need to see the rest of the season. The next 77 games and the playoffs are just padding.We are already at the hot take based on small sample size part of the season eh? My favorite.
He looks awesome. Doesn’t look 25 again or anything but he’s buzzing. I don’t think he’s going to push for the Ross though haha.Every player goes on heaters.. so i wanna hear from pens fans how does he actually look? I heard he lost a step last season, so just wondering.
I am as big a Malkin fan as a Bruins supporter can possibly be, but there is nothing noteworthy about this at all. He's one of the best players of all time, top 50 I think.The folks posting about "let me know later in the season" seem to miss the point that it's still pretty damn noteworthy that a player his age is leading the NHL after a handful of games. It's not like the first game of the season and he had a 4 point game to lead.
It's not about predicting he'll win the Ross or that he'll keep up the pace or that he'll be leading even a week from now. But the fact that a 38 year old who a lot of folks like to write off as washed up is leading *right now* is pretty cool.
Appreciate the sentiment, but for those of us ticked off that Malkin is written off before every season, it is funny to see him with 11 points and a crowd with 8.I am as big a Malkin fan as a Bruins supporter can possibly be, but there is nothing noteworthy about this at all. He's one of the best players of all time, top 50 I think.
