Malkin Upsets Russian Hockey Federation
TSN.ca ^ | 8/17/2006 | TSN.ca Staff

Background information: Russian Olympic hockey star Yevgeny Malkin left his Magnitogorsk club to go play for the NHL, hoping to be on the Pittsburgh Penguins. This made the RHF, which is headed by former Soviet goalie Vladislav Tretjak, mad, and Russian newspapers have been commenting on his sudden disappearance. After much discussion on his whereabouts, Malkin was found in Helsinki, Finland clearing his US visa.


Now go ahead and read the article...

My question is, why didn't they get so mad when Ovechkin joined the NHL? Or when the dozens of other Russian hockey players joined? Why single out Malkin?

At first I wondered what Michelle Malkin said that upset the entire Russian Hockey team.

You know, in Montana it's a hangin' offense to post a Malkin thread that isn't about Michelle Malkin.

I thought maybe Michelle was playing for the American team, and she scored the winning goal in a huge upset. Sort of a modern day Lake Placid.

I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT THIS THREAD AND YOU SHOULD ALL BE TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT MICHELLE MALKIN. SOME RUSSIAN HOCKEY PLAYER HAPPENS TO HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME, OKAY?
