Red Wings fans are voting on who they would like to win.

draw, once again the NHL gets an F for enforcing the rules. Malkin should be watching from the press box for game 3.

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

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.

So why does a league have rules when they are not enforced. Granted, the suspension to the instigator in the last minute is a stupid rule, but how can they pick and choose when it's enforced. Seriously, that's just ridiculous.

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.

Malkin clearly had nothing once he finally stopped using his stick and had no teammate assistance...
Posted by tjb1768 on Jun 01, 2009 at 10:51 AM agree disagree
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...

Malkin having his stick and Satan to help him out still didn't give him a win, both of these two should let their teammates handle the rough stuff.

When is someone going to tell Malkin and Crosby that they need to fight like men instead of clowns?
Posted by WildCard on Jun 01, 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.

@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.

With the gloves off, Malkin appears to land the only clean hit at the 1:34 mark, but no steam behind it and no balance turns this into a eurodraw.

HAHAAA! some of you guys are Hilarious. Malkin jumps him from behind ala Bertuzzi and he wins the fight? Saw Zetterbergs face in the post game interviews...not a mark on the guy. Malkin lands tons of blows? beats his ass? Just hatin' on the best team in hockey right now. The better scrap was with talbot and osgood behind this one ....some nice shots by ozzie landing landing. I was at the 2-0 game where he beat Roy into the boards. He's gonna win the conn smythe. Keep on hatin' folks...this "fight" is a draw.
