Well here we go again with the penguins THINKING THEY CAN FIGHT. Not one of them except for and only for Godard. Zetterberg is defending his net when Malkin apparently frustrated that his team can't be the newest NHL dynasty goes after Zetterberg of all of the wings. LOL Malkin is what 6'4 where Zetty is 6'0 and the weight is way off. Malkin who is a typical hitter and definitely a bit more used to this kind of play compared to Zetterberg should have had a better more distinctive win. To me, and apparently some other people on this site Zetterberg gets the win only because he landed 3 hits to Malkin's 1 and he sent Malkin to the ice. I'm tired of hearing NBC's announcers calling the game one sided. Zetterberg did a very good job hangin in there. GO WINGS and for all of you pens fans, get it through your heads, CROSBY CANT FIGHT, MALKIN CANT FIGHT LMAO AND GUERIN!?!??! Its cup finals and neither of these teams are known for their fighting, stick to hockey play your game and win. 'Nuff Said

This was pretty weak as far as a fight goes. About time Malkin showed some emotion on the ice. Been watching him since he came into the league and thought he would never end up dropping the gloves.

For all the idiots that want to bash the Pens I have only 1 question. Where is your team, oh yeah, golfing. This wings Vs. Pens matchup is a great one. Couple of bounces the other way and the Pens would be up 2-0. This series isn't over yet. If you remember the NHL plays all the games of the series before declaring a victor. Pens still have a chance at winning. Maybe a slight chance but a chance none the less. This series kind of feels like the caps vs pens series. Caps were up 2 games to none in a couple of relatively close games and all of the sudden the penguins started lighting the lamp.

Not to mention the Fleury bashing. When will people realize that Fleury is one of the top 5 or 6 goalies in the league. LETS-GO-PENS!

i have to call this very weak fight a draw. wow a fight between the two weakest teams in the NHL. where is the physical play in the stanley cup finals? i forgot you are not going to see that between these two very non physical weak teams.

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.

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

Geno got in a few shots. The NHL did the right thing not suspending him. The rule was put in place for the Flyers and Dale Hunters of the world. Not Hart finalists and scoring champs.
