I don't think you can. Or can you? There will be also Nepryaev coming, he can play center. So probably, Taratukhin will center the Dynamo duo, and thewings for Nepryaev will be rotated
That would be a complete joke if Malkin were to be suspended for this next game. He didn't even deserve the penalty, let alone the 5 minute major, let alone being thrown out of the game.
EDIT: Did I miss something more than what I saw...I just saw him fall down with another player after the play near the crease. What else did he do?

Quit using the word "would". Malkin is suspended for one game. The IIHF rulebook mandates that suspension because of his Match Penalty.
Do you people not understand?....
-Malkin tried to kick Lecavalier. (It doesn't matter if he succeeded or how severe of an attempt it was.)
-The referee MUST call a MATCH PENALTY.
-Malkin is AUTOMATICALLY SUSPENDED ONE GAME because the IIHF rulebook MANDATES a minimum ONE GAME SUSPENSION for a MATCH PENALTY. Not even Rene Fasel can overturn that.

After seeing one kick to own team mate in one game and that allmost killing him I'm saying even trying to kick should be always very much punished. I'm not saying Malkin tryed to hurt and not even saying much about this case, but generally saying "kicking is ok as long as you won't hurt" it's just freaking dumb and shows you haven't obviously played nor seen what skate blade can do.
Oh boy it will be hard Force said:
The problem is that it wasn't possible to give him a game misconduct. While Ruutu got that (as injury mandates in that situation, again check the rulebook) and would have maybe gotten 2+2 if not for Jagr's helmet... And nothing had Jagr not gone down at the last second. Ok, let's not get started about that one again, just another example how the rulebook forces the ref's hand. Same thing with the Hatcher-on-Selanne thing in the other game. but in my books, kicking is generally a worse thing than bodychecking. [Sorry off-topic, but "no provocation" may be right, but that was basicly a decision "Will I check him, or will I give them a goal?" Not a surprising decision made.] Obviously the whole Malkin-Lecavalier incident was the same thing: a game on the line, and this time it was rougher: one team was going home.

The point is the match penalty was undeserved and to suspend Malkin for an Olympics semifinal for what happened on the ice is a ridiculous decision, embarassing for the whole IIHF.Van said:

Definetely a big less but you can`t judge in any other way. kicking is dangerous, has nothing to do with the sports. I`m sure that neutral fans would agree here. Even in the heat of the moment you have to control yourself, else it can get dangerous. I like Malkin and all and I cheered for the Russians, but players need to learn. And surely it is not ridicolous that such a thing gets called. It would be ridiculous not to call it. It is a game and it should stay one. Safety goes first.
