Still can't believe some players are against wearing helmets in practice (like Phaneuf), say it was just a freak injury. Yeah its a freak injury until it happens to you, than it becomes a life-changing injury.
Sure maybe Malkin wasn't all that dedicated for the last year or two. But he was a 23 year old who just inherited a 43.5 million dollar contract afterall. Hopefully people won't be questioning his drive anymore after seeing the type of dedication he put into his off season workout and the end result of that likely being the Art Ross. Still, as happy as I am about seeing his return to form, without #87 in play, I can't see them accomplishing the end goal.
