Leafs offseason training! -
Yep. And now he is probably the biggest fan favorite because he actually put the work in and became what everyone expected to be after his 30/30 season in 2008.
Almost forgot...

The Pens are monsters. Who knows if Crosby will be there all playoffs, but if he is, wow. Good luck everybody else. If the Blues were lucky enough to play them at the end, I'd be wary. They already had 2 good lines without him. That second line was really hitting stride with Staal back 100%. Now you add Crosby and an embarrassment of riches power play? And Fleury playing some of his best hockey to date?
The part that gets me is people still calling Crosby the best player in hockey. And maybe he is. But Malkin is hands down the #1 player in hockey right now. To have that argument over the 2 best players in hockey on 1 team is nuts.Comment

Crosby still is the best player in the world. Guys have beat him before in points, but that doesn't take away from the skill level he has on the ice. He tied Stamkos for the Rocket trophy, but I don't think you will find many people who will make a solid argument that Stamkos is equal to Crosby in every way.
Malkin is having an amazing year, and why his name isn't thrown in more often with "best NHLer" every year is because he is extremely streaky. Just wait till playoff time when Malkin shits the bed. It normally happens, and hopefully this year he still has the fire. Years past he openly admitted he was tired come playoff time, and you know they are going to cover him in the playoffs. So that is where having Neal, Kunitz, Crosby and now guys like Dupuis and Cooke scroing is going to make the playoffs that much easier.All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

Crosby has all the talent in the world, undoubtedly. He makes the Pens markedly better. But Malkin has been playing arguably the best hockey of his career this year. He's doing everything. Giving Nystrom the business and sticking up for Letang, to embarrassing Garon (not that hard, admittedly) for pushing him, to scoring goals at impossible angles, to making unbelievable plays and passes almost routinely all year. The guy has been so far above his peers, in a very Crosby-esque way. So maybe when Crosby is back for a whole year, they're comparable.
On the playoffs, Malkin won the Conn Smythe the year they won it all. That year, if you'll remember, there was talk at the end about Malkin being the better player. I think it was the usual hype backlash on Crosby. But Malkin did beat him in points in the playoffs and seemed to show up more consistently. Though Crosby was getting smothered by every team. They both had 58 points in 44 games in that back-to-back stretch where them and the Wings traded Stanley Cups. And that was before Malkin rededicated himself and will win the Art Ross and Hart trophies this year. I think he's definitely the 1B to Crosby's 1A. Maybe even switch those with a playoffs where he out-shines the Kid, like 09. If only for a short time.
EDIT: Also wanna give some love to Brooks Orpik. One of the underrated D-men in the game. I've always wanted him in St. Louis. He's a very gritty big man, and seems to plays his responsibilities well from the games I've seen. Him and Hal Gill were fun to watch. A very scary D group.Comment

Just dominated the fuck out of Nashville. Malkin with 2 goals, and Pens again one point off of the Rangers.All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.
