Can i please get a WTF!?

Question

What was wrong with Malkin in tonights game? I know he hasn't been playing up to his usual standards.. but c'mon!

I don't know what was going on near the boards, but it took him around 10 seconds to get off the ice in the 3rd period.. He basically dropped his stick when reaching for a new one like he hasn't done it before, and he just looked like he wasn't *in the game* tonight.

Answer 1

He should be traded.

Ty Conklin should have been in net tonight!

We are ******!

Answer 2

wtf how do you not score on a 1:23 5on3????

WTFFFFF!!!!

Answer 3

girl i told you i dont watch sports so dont ask me any more sport questions,thank u

Answer 4

Red Wings got him scared

Answer 5

It's what I've been saying all along, Malkin is a talented guy as long as he has a lot of time and space. But when he gets crowded and hit, he doesn't like it and plays poorly.

Answer 6

Malkin admitted last week he is exhausted. We're seeing it.

Answer 7

Malkin looks scared, and lacks confidence. He has SCF fever....he's scared to shoot the puck...2 or 3 times tonight, not to even make mention of the rest of the series, he had a FAR better shooting angle than whoever he passed it to. He made bad passes into traffic, and almost passed his way into another breakaway for the Wings. They should sit him the first three shifts next game, and light a fire under him. I don't know what else to do..

I would like to see them trade the kid, maybe.... Hossa is older but 2x better, at least right now...if you don't do your job come playoff time, the regular season is moot. Will this ever happen? No, but we could get a lot for a guy who will most likely want a maximum payday, and offers marginal benefits in the postseason.

Regardless though, no one should blame Fleury for anything tonight...when your D can't clear the end, you can only do so much...Fleury played lights out, besides the slow reaction on the final goal...the shooter threaded that through a very small window, though.

Answer 8

He hasn't been a force all series.  The Mike Richards hit from last series put him to sleep.  Now he's up against Detroit's 2nd line Defensmans (Kronwall, and Stuart) 2 guys who you don't want to keep your head down against.

Answer 9

Im with "lets go Pens", Im thinking he has an injury that we will find out about once the series is over.

Answer 10

Oh no! He's got a Marleau Choke!

Answer 11

its called experience mastery of the shutdown game.

the kid was worthless too...so come on

Answer 12

Malkin is a typical no-heart Russian bum

Answer 13

It was actually 1:27 on the 5-3, but still. ;)

Answer 14

If he was tired after game one, I can imagine he's twice as tired now.

He told the press he was tired btw.

Answer 15

He was probably high

Answer 16

They have targeted him all series..They (the Wings) knew who to target and they knew who to hit.

*** Kim...I REALLY hate to bring the Sens into this..but the Wings did to Malkin what the Sens did to him last year (your guess is as good as mine why they didn't do it this year..coke might have had something to do with it)....they hit him and he disappeared.

Answer 17

WTF!!!!????

Answer 18

No we only sell burgers and fries, and sometimes drinks. Malkin has sucked all series.

Answer 19

I'd argue that Malkin was one of the best Penguins on the ice tonight. He led the Penguins in SOG's with 5, was second in ice time among forward to Hossa, and made that brilliant pass that Dupuis(?) couldn't dig out of his own skates. Fingers should be pointed at Crosby who's managed 3 points in 4 games playing on the top line.

Bottom Line: What many fans fail to realize is that Detroit's defense is just that much better than Pittsburgh's offense. The Penguins are the class of the east (like Ottawa was last year) but they're probably only the 4th or 5th best team in the league. The West is really that much better.

Answer 20

I heard last game he was injured.  Don't really think that is the total reason for his game but it may have a part.  Also he along with the rest of his team must be getting tired.  You are only as good as your goalie and I have to say this wasn't Fleury's best night either.  Also the fact that one of the teams players, Kris Letang, best friends was in a devestating motorcycle accident leading to a death might also have hung spirits a little low.  This is the only explanation I could possiby have to think of for the teams loss.  Hope this answers your question.  :]

Answer 21
