Redundant thread.

In my opinion, Malkin very obviously had no intention of following through with his "pump fake." If it got that fan he was targeting to think twice about ever again doing whatever s/he did to provoke that response, mission accomplished. If it didn't work and that fan continues to attempt to provoke opposing players with whatever it is they were saying/doing, then it failed, and both the fan and Evgeni Malkin will move on in life and probably forget it even happened.

Wow, what a melt down.

Classless fans are classless. Don't throw stuff at players as they exit the ice.

Clickbait thread. Nothing to see here.

Once this team is beaten in 5 or 6, they will fall into place as one of those, "Remember when so and so made that run to the finals? Remember how crazy their crowd was?"

Of course, the Pens will have won their 5th cup, but oh how crazy those fans were...

I hate the Pens. NOTHING wrong with what Malkin did there

Are you being serious? If anything this should lead to the fans throwing things at the players be banned from entry into the arena.

An employee basically threatened to assault a paying customer...I mean, that's kind of serious in most industries

Every team has idiotic fans and athletes are people too. All this and more tonight at ten.

So the customer has a right to abuse the employee? Okay, it was a towel, but really? Malkin should have not reached, but it was the FAN that initiated it, and should be shown the door.

My memory is a bit foggy, who was it that gave a fan a whack on the knuckles for grabbing a players stick in the playoffs? Nothing ever came of that did it? So nothing will here.

I think covered tunnels should be mandatory for visiting teams. Hell, in South America and parts of Europe they have metal fences to keep the opposing fans away at soccer games.
