lead with your stick?

a russian and a swede. go figure.

hank landed more real punches, he didn't even think it was going to happen. it is a disgrace to the game that malkin isn't getting suspended for a: not having is jersey tied off. b: leading with your stick. c: hitting the ref. d: INSTIGATING IN THE LAST FIVE MINUTES.

the nhl needs to remember that the rules apply to everyone. there aren't rules that only apply to some people.

see hossa getting suspended for not having his jersey tied off. see dan carcillo getting suspended for hitting a ref in the first round.

hank: clear win on a bad fight.

Looks like Geno is the only Penguin to show up this year, and don't get me started on Marc Andre Flopper. IT wasn't cool of Geno to swing with the stick but atleast he's showing emotion, no other Pen player has done that. As for Hank, toss the gloves off or turtle or run home to mommy in europe. For Satan, he was just trying to protect his star. Either way not a very classy fight on both sides. Then again a classy fight sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it?

I almost had to avert my eyes. But the emotion of the series is good at least...

So now Malkin is now challenging Crosby for biggest *** on the Penguins?

Sure the NHL doesn't want Sindy to win the cup.

Kronwall gets ejected for a legal hit, but they won't enforce a rule on the Guinos.

Fits nicely with rescheduling the whole series at a time when 4 Wings starters were down and out, scheduling back to back games, etc.

Nice job NHL, between your corruption and babying the diva "stars" you're one step away from becoming soccer.

Even fight really. If you can call it that.
Zetterberg got the best of Malkin if you ask me.

Red Wings, getting a back-to-back
Suck it Pengs

Chunk is a ****ing joke, guy can't even land a punch. Its just desperation from that loser cuz he knows the Wings have walked all over them. GO WINGSSS!!!! Cindy Crosby is a bitch too, I think i saw him crying after the game, priceless.

This was a pathetic attempt at a hockey fight. Pulling off jerseys then continuing to throw punches is just too girly for me. Hear that Zetterberg? Be a man and fight! Watching any Detroit game is like attending ladies night out. Wimps who are too stuck on themselves get involved. I say let them eat some ice and make them fight. The NHL will sooner or later finish grooming the whole leauge into a soccer game on skates with teams like Detroit hanging around. This goes for guys like Alex O, Crosby and Hossa too. ( Detroit lost a wing haha) Just kissing up to the soccer parents as far as I'm concerned. No fight hockey is boring and pointless to me. The fight. I'm not even going to comment further on "it".

Nice job by Satan... Thatīs a third man in if I ever saw one. And if it hadnīt been for him, Hank would have beaten M. even clearer.

@RedWings=Trash.....You're an idiot. Are you watching the same thing as everyone else? Malkin didn't land ****, oh and you forgot the part where Malkin turtles and gets saved by the ref at 1;37. I think he takes after Semin when it comes to fighting.

Malkin clearly had nothing once he finally stopped using his stick and had no teammate assistance...

What fight? What landed shots? Neither guy had any marks on their faces after the game in the interviews...not a single scratch. Homers go away!

He can score he can shut cosbaby down and his little butt buddy try to come do something for his mate.... lol
But hank said wait a second i'm going to kick your! lol

Stupid on malkin part, he is lucky that the league is so far up pittsburgh butt that he wont get one game for it instigator pen with less then five mins to play. Shows you how crappy the league is getting because it's being run by the wrong people...

When is someone going to tell Malkin and Crosby that they need to fight like men instead of clowns?
Posted by WildCard on Jun 1, 2009 at 2:55 AM agree disagree
Malkin is a big baby ,swinging and no hitting. Win by Zetterberg when he keept his cool and got the jersey of his head in a classical maner nice job by number 40.
