Malkin

[Slitty]

While I agree with your post, don't insult Kozlov please. I really like that guy.

You gotta admit, Kozlov is a player thats neither here nor there and waste of talent at that.

Its interesting to me that some of the same people here that said, last year, that Crsoby wasn't in Oveckin's league because he wasn't playing against men, are now arguing Malkin's better than Crosby despite the fact that Malkin is not playing the best league in the world and Crosby is. And succeeding.

For all the talk and *****ing about Canadians being overrated, there is such a insane anti-Canadian bias here that makes this board not worth reading sometimes.

Let me put it this way. Corey Perry is tearing up the AHL and I bet he'd have as many points as Malkin if he was in the WJCs. He must be as good as Ovechkin. Imagine the reaction from these Russian fans if I posted that.

I guess you're too young to remember the context of King's decision.

No, I was just providing a stupid response to an equally as moronic statement to begin with. You're full of yourself.

 

[Zine]

Ron Francis is a pretty good comparison, from what I saw last year.

What value does stupid comments like this bring to this discussion? At least back up your statements..have you even seen Malkin play regularly?

Go away.

The RSL is that strong of a league? It couldn't be: they have Dave King as a coach.

RSL is very tough league to produce in. At the end of the season we maybe won't see a single player over PPG. Last year RSL had only 2 players over PPG: Jagr and Sushinsky.

I think these statements are getting out of hand. Malkin is a great prospect, no doubt. But to make such a statement diminishing the skill of a future hall of famer and one of the most consistent playmakers in the league in order to build up a guy that could be the next Viktor Kozlov is a bit... insulting.

Sundin is a phenominal offensive player, but he is not a true elite playmaker.

Malkin, it seems, is an elite playmaker. To say Malkin has better playmaking upside than Sundin is no insult to Sundin. It is, however, probably the truth.

Bottom line: If Malkin ends up being "only" as good as Mats Sundin, he will be big disappointment, just as Crosby would be if he only ended up being as good as Pierre Turgeon.

People also said, for a few years up until quite well into the season that Ovechkin wasn't in Crosby's league. Crosby nor Ovechkin ever played in the AHL though.

Ovechkin never tore up the RSL so he is a bad comparisson to use. Lets do this:

Malkin: before leaving for the World Juniors he led the RSL in scoring.
Voloshenko: before leaving for the World Juniors he lead the AHL in scoring.

Now Malkin>>>>>>>Voloshenko... I rest my case.

I 46then that or whoever many people want this guy to go away now.

Well Malkin is a supertalented player. So is Ovechkin. Crosby is not.

They all are supertalented players

Come on now. Malkin becoming Mats Sundin II would be a big disappointment in your eyes? What if Malkin becomes Jean Beliveau, would you consider him to be just a mere disappointment?

Tell me, what are your realistic expectations for Malkin?
