(Did you people really think that just because the Penguins got knocked out of the playoffs I was done writing about hockey? Come now. We're in the middle of the Stanley Cup FINALS! Sometimes I feel like you just don't know me at all!)
Puck Daddy has a translation of parts of an Evgeni Malkin interview from Russian TV.
He is eloquent and generous about his teammate Sidney Crosby and has interesting things to say about his countryman Alexander Ovechkin, whom he describes as a "Russian Canadian" because of how quickly he adapted to the more physical brand of Western hockey. Ovie is one of the more, um, enthusiastic and irrepressible players in the NHL, and he has the PIM stats and suspensions to prove it.
It's nice to see Geno translated from his own language and not strangling on his attempts to speak English, even if his English struggles only succeed in making him look totally...ADORABLE.
Kid's gotta lotta class, our Geno does.
Class is something that seems to be in short supply in Philadelphia. But then again, are you surprised? It's Philadelphia.
