Malkin NOT being traded.?

Question

It was said around a week ago that Malkin is NOT going anywhere. Don't want to hear it from me? hear it from Malkin himself.:

He (Malkin) also shrugged off speculation the Penguins will trade him this summer to create salary-cap space necessary to sign several impending free agents, including forwards Marian Hossa and Ryan Malone and defenseman Brooks Orpik.

"Those are just rumors," Malkin said, through an interpreter. "I don't even pay attention to those."

SO THERE. the rumor is now put to rest. lol

Question: Who is your least favorite team, & give me THREE valid reasons why you don't like them.

Answer 1

I HATE the Toronto Maple Leafs and am their biggest blue blooded fan.

I Hate them because they'll never win

Because management never tries to win

because everyone else hates us for having so many fans

and because the best managed team in Hockey is so close to us... Those damned Wings...

Answer 2

Well by law being a bruins fan I have to say Montreal Canadians..

1) There fans are obnoxious

2) They knocked us out of the playoffs

3) They are the Montreal Canadians

But this season I would have to say the Flyers really got under my skin

1) They play dirty

2) Randy F$^%ing Jones for hitting from behind Patrice Bergeron (who was projected to be a high point contributer to the bruins) and giving him a near career ending concussion

3) Hartnell another dirty flyer who hit Andrew Alberts while he was on his knees and injured him for a  majority of the season

and what also makes me mad is the NHL only gave these two flyers 2 game suspensions... they hit dirty and will continue because the NHL does not hand out appropriate punishments.

Answer 3

Well I'm glad the rumors are finally put to rest. He isn't goin anywhere.

Least favorite team is Florida Panthers because

1.some of the players on the team i just don't like

2.they continually go on about how my favorite team SUPPOSEDLY dives

3.and its a southeast rivalry kinda with my team the canes

Answer 4

i've heard that too..but who knows whats going to happen.

probably the ducks because they are rivals with my favorite team the sharks & i also dont like the flyers either because they are the penguins rivals.

Answer 5

Ryan Malone has already indicated that he will be testing FA waters as an unrestricted FA.  TSN.ca reported it on their website yesterday (6/18).  

Malkin is not going anywhere.  Rest assured of that.

The three teams that I dislike the most are:

The Toronto Maple Leafs

The Ottawa Senators

The Los Angeles Kings

The three reasons why hold true for all three franchises:

1) The front office handles situations involving their players and coaches poorly in the press.  The teams tend to have a lot of turmoil due to the front office having poor people skills.

2) They are in major markets that should excel in their respective media markets, but due to their lack of quality management they do not.  Yes, even the Leafs have this issue.  They turn fans off with their impractical approaches to personnel situations.  The league needs as many large market teams to thrive as possible in order to grow fan base and increase revenues.  

3) The teams do not bring in the "right" players to fill their existing holes.  It happens year after year.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Malkin is here for at least 6 more years! Lets sign us some UFA's already!!

Least favorite team: Flyers

1.  Cheap Hits

2. More muscles than brains

3. Danielle Brieie

Answer 7

Basically, Pittsburgh would be foolish not to re-sign Malkin, but as a Flyers fan, I would love to see him go.

Least favorite teams:

-Rangers

-Devils

Most hated team:

-Penguins.

Hate the Penguins the most, mainly because of their bandwagon fans that let the team almost go bankrupt until Crosby came and "saved the team." Who here actually remembers the days when Jagr was a pen, and the 5 overtime playoff game, back before Crosby and Malkin "saved the penguins"

Answer 8

Yeah, that's old news, it's obvious Malkin is going no where.

The Toronto Maple Leafs

The Philadelphia Flyers

The Ottawa Senators

I cannot point out valid reasons but those teams annoy me.

Answer 9

Detroit Red Wings

Philadelphia Flyers

Red Wings...........Have always hated them. If I explained why I'd be here all night.

Flyers.........They were dirty, they were cheap, and back in the day we couldn't win a d**n game against them.

Answer 10

That really doesn't prove anything.  Its not like he has a no trade clause.  If Shero wants to trade him, he can....whether Malkin likes it or not.  Its Shero you have to hear it from, not Malkin.

Ducks.

1) Division rival

2) Chris Pronger

3) Just owns the Sharks for some reason

Answer 11

Malkin may have said he was staying but the Toronto Sun had this report about the Pens trying to trade Malkin to the Kings for their first round pick and centre Mike Cammalleri.

If the Pens do trade Malkin, they would lose me as a fan. (Been one for 28 years). Beside Hossa said he would take a pay cut to say and Malone is gone.

Now for teams I hate

1. Flyers - Pens only real team in the keystone state and Rendall is a fan and I hate him. Flyers are bullies.

2. NY Rangers - Like other NY teams they try to by championships. plus they try and sue the NHL. Andmost players are former Pen players.

3. Red Wings - they beat Pittsburgh for the cup. They to that stupid octopuss thing. Plus I think they pay the NHL award voters to vote Nicklas Lidstrom as the Norris winner.

Answer 12

Thank You. haha everybody is so annoying about this stupid c**p. Malkins not going anywhere anytime soon

Answer 13

That doesn't say hes stayin it says he wants to stay but pitsburg can still trade him.

I HATE THE CAROLINA HURRICANS

1. They are divers and babies

2. Erik staal is OVERRATTED

3. They always beat the Panthers

4. They think they own the SE division

5. THEY SUCK BALLS

Answer 14

So...Malkin's the GM and he has full decision-making responsibility of the franchise? When the h**l did that happen?

Answer 15

who knows, i dont think they (the rumors) are gonna be put to rest just because malkin said this

rangers suck

Answer 16

Avalanche

1: I'm a Wings fan

2: Claude Lepieux, Patrick Wahhh, Peter f******n, Adam Stink-Foote, etc. etc........................

3: I hate the fact that Colorado bought the SC, they didn't pay their dues!

Answer 17

Canadiens

1)  I grew up in Boston

2)  I grew up in Boston

3)  Yankees Suck

Answer 18

I think it would be good for both teams if Malkin got traded.. if you were him wouldnt you want out if your doing so much work and all the credit goes to Sidney Crybaby. I would

I hate the Leafs - cuz im a Sens fan, Hate Toronto, Hate Sundin

I hate the Penguins - Crybaby, Sydor, Fleury

Anaheim Ducks - beating Sens in finals, cheap asses, Bertuzzi, Pronger, Neidermayer and boring to watch

Also "I love Adriy" or whatever so what if Umberger is from Pitsburgh if the NHL was like that the Canadian teams would be winning the Cup EVERY SINGLE SEASON and the Americans would suck

Answer 19

I agree with I ♥ Gonchar - he's not going anywhere

Flyers

1. Pennsylvania ain't big enough for the two of us

2. They scared me in the playoffs

3. I don't like the color orange (added a 4th in case it wasn't valid)

4. Umberger is from Pittsburgh and is playing for Philly

EDIT: Kate - I know what you mean. i was close to putting down the red wings but couldn't decide which three to use. there are so many. lol

Answer 20

Malkin will stay in Pittsburgh.He is the best player on the team.

I really dont like Nashville.They are kicking our butts.I dont like TooToo.He is a cheap shot.The third jersey looks like poo
