I don't agree. Crosby is in a league of his own in terms of diving and crying to the refs. Malkin is actually one of the most likable superstars in the league.

Malkin is actually one of the dirtiest players in the league. Between his slewfoots and his hits from behind, he's very easy to detest.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Hey Bettman! Let's have a fair fight! Call off your Zebras already! These power plays are killing us!

 

[jniklast]

lol Malkin and likable ?

I like his movies

 

[Hunter Gathers]

That top line needs to be broken up.

It would be nice if AV made some personnel changes on the PP. If he's waiting for practice time, he's going to be waiting a very long time. Sometimes you need to change stuff on the fly.

I would swap Richards and Stepan.

 

[mike14]

Horrible period of hockey but at least we aren't losing

Something has to be done about the PP, and our fwds look poor in general, thank god for Hank.

I'm honestly surprised that no one in the NHL has put Neal's head through a wall yet

What? Malkin is a slew footing dirty player with no regard for other players.

 

[MillerTime79]

Calling it now, Rangers score on their next powerplay to break the streak.

Agreed, Malkin is significantly worse then Crosby IMO. I don't think he's likeable at all.

Ovechkin is actually very likeable to the outside fan. Malkin is always whining and tripping and scuffling after the play.

Plus he's ugly as ****.

 

[nevesis]

Diaz needs to be in for Moore. The dude knows how to shoot from the point on the pp.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Thats a terrible mentality in a period where we started with 3 PP's

After those PPs? I'm appalled it isn't 2-0 Pens.

 

[Kakko]

NBC said before the game that Hank hasn't stolen a game yet, and this may be the one he has to

Looking possible

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

lol Malkin and likable ?

More than players like Crosby, Giroux, Ovechkin? Yes, he definitely is.

 

[ImIdaho]

For a new PP unit, put in Carcillo, Klein, Talbot, that 8 year-old who keeps falling on the ice in peewee hockey from Providence, and a game worn Rangers jersey of Gretzky.

 

[94wasagoodyear]

and it will be Nash...if one bad streak gets broken, might as well add another.

 

[Black Aces]

After those PPs? I'm appalled it isn't 2-0 Pens.

the point is that we should be winning now. we missed an opportunity. 0-0 is a big win for the penguins

 

[Samuel Culper III]

I think Malkin is dirtier and less respectable than Crosby. I don't think Sid is an angel, but I really don't think he whines or dives THAT much. It's a carry over reputation from when he was like 19. I kind of have nothing but respect for Sid. He's a beast and he works hard as hell to stay on top.

 

[KingP]

Calling it now, Rangers score on their next powerplay to break the streak.

Ill bet against that

I just can't agree with this. Crosby matured quite a bit. He doesn't dive, really at all anymore, and he probably whines just as much as the average player. Malkin is a piece of trash.

 

[hi]

Diaz needs to be in for Moore. The dude knows how to shoot from the point on the pp.

Sit Richards and play 7 d

 

[Cassano]

Refs were awful in period one. Colours of the zebras match that of the
Penguins.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Malkin is actually one of the dirtiest players in the league. Between his slewfoots and his hits from behind, he's very easy to detest.

Thats all? I consider a player who flops every shift and cries to the refs to be much worse. Crosby is in a league of his own like I said.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I just can't agree with this. Crosby matured quite a bit. He doesn't dive, really at all anymore, and he probably whines just as much as the average player. Malkin is a piece of trash.

While I generally agree, he definitely still embellishes and dives. Not nearly as much as he used to, though.

Don't tell that to Marc Staal

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

Here we go...LGR!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[surf]

Maybe we need a shorty to jump start the PP to get them going..Hank looks very cool and composed tonight
