"Malkin in the Middle"

Evgeni Malkin who former Flyers and current Penguin is comparing to Super Mario will make his NHL debut tonight (weds) with penguins. Playing center for Recchi and Ryan Malone. Rex ought know about Mario Lemieux since he played with him for several years in the Pittsburgh. Thats right, he is going as far to say that.

Malkin had his debt delayed after he ran into teamate John Leclair in the preason and missed sometime. This guy is getting lots of hype and many people think he will give Sidney Crosby (his teamate) and Alex Ovechkin a run for their money for king of the NHL in a few years.

At any rate, Pittsburgh is going to be a better team now. Maybe my playoff predicition was just a year too shy. Of course in typical NHL style, the game is not on national TV. Malkin is in the middle of a bunch of hype in the hockey world and all eyes will be on him not only for tomorrow but for a very long time. Here is a link to read.
