Amazing Malkin

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
Every night Gary Roberts watches, and every night he finds something else to be amazed by.
It isn’t just that Evgeni Malkin scores goals. It’s how he scores. And when he scores. And just about everything else in between.
“He is taking it to a whole new level,” the veteran Roberts said. “Both goals tonight came late in shifts. By then, most of us are dead tired. He’s on the ice a minute, a minute and a half into his shift and he finds the strength. I don’t think he’s human like the rest of us.
“And then he makes these plays ... I’ve never seen anything like him before.”
You have to love the ‘shorty’ by Malkin last night= Watch below…

Malkin’s a great player, no question, but since when did lazily gliding back from the offensive zone on the penalty kill become a good play? It was smart to have his head up, but ludicrously selfish for him to even be in that position in the first place.

With all due respect Ryan, he was killing a penatly, made a rush up the ice, got crushed after taking the shot and was still a little daze. He was also at the end of his shift. I am season ticket holder and have watched him all year. He is NOT a cherry picker. He back checks with the best of them and never dogs it.

Yeah, watching Malkin every game, he definitely doesn’t cheat. I was worried that he was hurt from the hit, in fact. It’s amazing how a goal can make you feel better.
