Evgeni Malkin Anonymous
So did you see his goal last night? How long do you figure his streak goes on? It is a shame with all the attention Malkin is getting no one is noticing Jordan Staal who looks like another superb rookie.

Yeah fantastic goal. I actually had my doubts that Malkin was going to be as good as he's been at the NHL level but hot damn is he proving me wrong.

Staal's been a solid player as well and if he keeps up his play he would be a Calder contenter... not much of a chance of winning though being up against Malkin and the other impressive rookie Kopitar.

I said on this board sometime in September that the Pens were improved. Some people didn't believe me. Sure, they're young, but they play hard.

I love the pens. One of my favourite teams to watch without question. Ovechkin is definately a one man show, but Crosby puts on a show with a full troupe. All and all, I've loved the season so far. So many teams playing so well that there aren't many that would be surprises to make the playoffs based on their play thus far.

Staal also needs to actually stay with the Pens, too, if he wants to vie for the Calder (even if it is a battle against Malkin). And right now the Pens are totally ambiguous in whether or not he stays, because of needing to sign a contract for him, and whether or not he'd do better going back to Junior (he's too young for the AHL).

You'd think after the games so far this season it'd be an obvious decision. But you never know.

Yeah and it's not like they're hurting for cap space right now. Here's hoping they keep him.

Kopitar looks pretty good but is surrounded by shit. Malkin or Staal (if he stays) will most likely get it.

Well, Crosby had a big game tonight too. Sure, they were playing the Flyers, but still.
