This game is just another example of how Pittsburgh could be the best team in the league, but Malkin is their best player.
You must not watch the Pens every night if you think that... Malkin does have his moments and when he takes over a game, he TAKES OVER a game, but night and night out, Crosby is the better player hands down. Malkin takes many dumb penalties (he is 3rd in the league in minor penalties), and disappears for stretches at a time.
Don't get me wrong, Malkin is def a top 5 center, but he is not as complete of a player as Crosby.

Actually, I fall asleep thinking about my girlfriend.
And I don't think anyone here is worrying about playing the Penguins. Getting the win last night was nice, but we're more worried about making the playoffs (for the 19th straight year).
See, over the last 20 years, we have never been so ungodly terrible that the league would give us unprecedented weight in order to get a superstar draft pick to carry our team out of irrelevance.
But have sweet dreams with your three cups and repeats. Win eight more Cups and repeat twice more and you might be able to compare our two franchises.

Come on now...you can't compare the Red Wings and Penguin organizations
For a team that has not had high draft picks for I dont even know how mnay years and compete for the Cup or win the Cup(s) in very impressive...Ken Holland is the best GM in the game
The Guins will never go 19 straight years in the playoffs...they do the same thing over and over...win for 5-6 yrs...tank for 5yrs..get high draft picks and start over

ummm... not exactly...
Since the 1990-91 season (19 seasons counting the current season), the Pens have made the playoffs 16 of them, with making at least the conference finals 6 times and won 3 Cups. That's only 3 losing seasons in that time frame.
Just for comparison, in those 19 season, the Flyers have made the playoffs in 13 of them, advancing to the conference finals 5 times with zero Cups.

with the lockout, it was only 4 seasons out of the playoffs though ('02, '03, '04 & '06)... keep in mind, the Crosby draft was after the lockout season, so the record from the 03-04 season basically went for two drafts. The scary thing is that they had the worst record in that season, and lost out on the Ovechkin lottery and took Malkin. All this crap about Crosby vs Ovechkin, they could have been linemates.

In all honesty who would you rather have Malkin or Ovechkin ?

Probably Malkin, just because I think that the center position is more important than winger... but it's not like there really is a wrong answer to that question lol.

I watched the first 2 periods, and listened to the 3rd while working in my basement. From what I saw and heard, it was a good game. Pens had more chances, but Washington seems so dangerous with the chances they get. As a Pens fan and a hockey fan in general, I hope we get to see these two play in the playoffs again.
and Mike Knuble owns the Penguins, he always has...

"Versus averaged 622,000 viewers for Monday's Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit Red Wings game making it the highest-rated and most-watched NHL regular season game in network history and the most-watched NHL regular season telecast on U.S. cable since 2004.

My girlfriend made the astute observation that, "Perhaps the NHL should stop trying to force rivalries and just let them develop on their own..."-- In regards to the league making Detroit play teams like Nashville and Columbus a bunch of times in hopes of a rivalry sprouting up.

Yeah, but if they made the schedule with some emphasis on rivalries, who would teams like Columbus & Nashville play? It's not like they have any real rivalries.

The league is governed by a moron. Anything that makes sense will never see the light of day. Anyone with Direct TV can't even watch the marquee matchups on Versus (most people don't even know the network exists). The NHL pays NBC to televise their games. Instead, Bettman should be looking into ways to blackmail ESPN to provide coverage instead of trying to force certain stars down everyones mouth and saving hockey in towns that have never actually seen ice outside.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but did want to clarify that Versus is back on DirecTV on channel 603 as of a few weeks ago.
I believe the situation was that The Outdoor Life Network was offering more cash for the TV contract. ESPN was offering much less than OLN, and much less than their previous contract. The NHL chased the instant $ instead of the exposure.
Im not a fan of ESPN, but its a fact that if the NHL is carried on ESPN "Magically" we start seeing more highlights on Sportscenter, positive talk about hockey on shows like Around the Horn and PTI, etc... so in the longterm it is better for the sport and a wise commissioner would convince the NHLPA and owners of this.
Honestly though, I think I am the only Sabres fan who kind of likes Bettman. He really stood up for Buffalo and saved our team... Kind of did the same for Pittsburgh too.
