Evgeni Malkin Hat Trick [12-23-09]

[pgbruiser]

A collection of Mellon Arena memories from the Penguins who currently call it home:

"Your first game. The (Stanley Cup) banner going up. All those playoff games that took place here. (Evgeni Malkin's) hat trick around Christmas time and all those stockings going on the ice — it was the first time I heard Christmas music played after a goal." — Center Sidney Crosby

[PrinceK2007]

Just think, if Sid would've taken the goal himself Crosby would have 52 goals this season and win the Rocket Trophy outright instead of tying for it, but he's a team player first. That's why he's the best player in the game, not for the stats but for leadership n talent. Ovechkin would've scored in this situation. because he's selfish n cares for stats.

Don't worry, he's going to play with Ovechkin! Malks is my favorite player, I might have to root for Russia! ;)

[AlexGalok]

Malkin is a Master with Crosby !!!!

But, how Malkin will Play in Vancouver without Crosby ? In the hope that he can score in conjunction with other !!! GO GO Malkin !!! I believe in you

Russia must win the Olympics!

@AlexGalok

Malkin only plays with Sid on PP. They're on separate lines usually. Malkin will be great in the Olympics, but Canada will win gold.

nice goal but it should have been interference on malkin

[mase5701]

wow. I had to watch that video twice to see how that got back to Malkin....

Malkin and Crosby on the rush, the goalie has NO CHANCE!!!!

[scorpens88]

МОЙ ЛЮБИМЫЙ ИГРОК!!!

[lucysnow1851]

Thank you Geno for my favorite Christmas present! I love how this started as a shorthanded play, Malkin elbows Shannon aside and then Croskin destroys the goalie! The Russian scout couldn't be happier, Gonchar got one too!

Надо же Третьяка запалии =)

[RavilMusakof]

Жека красавец! давай раскочегаривайся!!!

[pandala420]

that's gotta suck to have malkin & crosby comin' at you 2 on none. i'm a penguin fan but even i sort of felt bad for the goalie on that one.

[namrahnotyal]

lol, not that kind of christmas gift a goalie would want!

[ricculus]

Fun watching them spend the rest of the third period trying to get Guerin his.

[benw98]

I was at the game....The Guerin chants were awesome...

I love how Pens Fans actually follow the game unlike a certain team on the other side of the state who if they can't see a fight they can't be bothered

[Bballben341]

Let's Go Pens!!!!

[Portis1Luv]

Hopefully we take this kind of offensive energy into the Devils game next week.

[lasenza88]
