It's nothing new (well, maybe the defensive responsibility part and most notably this season his faceoff skills).

They just trashed a top 2ish team in Madison Square Garden. Damn, Have they figured it out?

Get Staalsy healthy and this team can make a deep run with or without 87  Love to see them drop the hammer on Max P and the Habs tomorrow night at Consol on the quick turnaround

It's nothing new (well, maybe the defensive responsibility part and most notably this season his faceoff skills). The thing that Malkin had been really impressing me with is his passing. He's always had that ability to go into what I call "Pissed-Off Russian Mode" and score at will. But I don't remember him being such a willing and able passer (which is why I felt Neal would work better with Crosby). He's shown flashes of it, for sure. But never to the extent he's shown this season. I feel like Neal has really unlocked all of Malkin's potential this year. _________________

He is a shining example that thoughtfulness can actually win out over the heat-of-the-moment desire to absolutely destroy an opponent no matter the ramifications. Then he goes out and slewfoots Richards.

I have tickets to Sunday's game against the Caps. A week ago, I was worried that I basically paid $300 for glorified AHL tickets. Now that we're back on a roll, I'm excited. This will be the first game I've ever attended at Consol.
