You just hit Malkin for smiling like a kid when his team wins and pouting like a kid when they lose. Yet here you are saying it’s OK, make up your mind.
You’re being blasted for saying silly things that don’t make a lot of sense. You say Malkin doesn’t belong in the NHL but why? He’s got great stats, he doesn’t get a lot of penalty minutes (averages about a minute a game) so he clearly isn’t a thug, he got in one scuffle at the end of game 2 in the finals but that was really nothing.
Yes finally for the first time since the Cup got handed out last year the Wings showed some emotion. That seems to be the hallmark of the Babcock era, only show emotions if the Cup is in the house, the rest of the time it’s all business. And I don’t fault the results, but they sure are boring to watch.
I already said it. I can't help it if others cannot read correctly, or refuse to. showing emotion at winning and losing is human. Attacking other players after you lose is not what a professional sports player does.
I'm sorry things don't make sense to you - that's not my fault - I can't help you there. Bobby Clarke and Reggie Leach had good stats, too, but were know more for their fighting ways. Now don't jump to conclusions like some on this board will - I'm not comparing Malkin to Leach and Clarke, just saying "great" stats doesn't mean you have the maturity to play without getting into fights with other players after the game is over and your team lost, or even if your team won! Few penalty minutes shows that the Pens won more games than they lost, so Malkin had nothing to get upset about. Great stats doesn't prove a player has the maturity to play in the top league.
Of course, what I say can be silly to you, just as what you say is silly and irrelevant to me - that's our prerogatives.
