League's sneakiest dirtiest player

Shouldn't the Post be busy eating crow after watching a team and QB they attacked mercilessly get to the Super Bowl at the expense of my poor Niners?

Leave the hockey news to respectable outlets, like The Sun.

hahahaha - good one, I needed that to start my morning

I am curious at how a player, with cameras rolling from warm ups to post game, is "sneaky"

Here we go. Sneakiest, dirtiest? Did they try hard on that one?

I said last week Malkin has been ducking hits, and I don't really think he is doing it to be "dirty." I just think he is trying to avoid hits to parts of his body (knee, head) in order to keep playing. Hell, he is playing lights out, and if he goes down, we might be done.

So he's a coward?

Don't know. Why is playing smart being a coward? I would say he takes ten times the hits he ducks.

If the league wants to start calling him to the carpet for his ducks...go for it. But avoiding hits isn't a crime. He has yet to do anything close to what Marchand has done.

Well, since the Penguins have neutered Matt Cooke and placed him on a Ritalin diet, somebody had to come along and claim that vacant title. And, everybody knows that Malkin (like his buddy Semin) are the toughest, meanest, dirtiest, sneakiest ess-oh-bees in the league. :-)

If low bridging is a penalty/suspension then it should be universal - if you duck to avoid a check and send your opponent over you for a ride, then you get a penalty and/or suspension. It shouldnt matter how fast your opponent was going or if there was an injury. A slash is a slash whether the opponent suffered a broken arm or just got a little owie. Either call it even or start calling clipping correctly. Marchard definitely low-bridged Salo, but he sure didnt clip him. He was no where near Salo's knees.

Let's Go Pens!!

Not according to the NYRs. Matt Cooke is slew-footing again. Malkin is a dirty ****, etc. List goes on and on, and so it goes. Fine.

Look, I don't like Malkin ducking hits. Someone, and maybe even him, is gonna get hurt.

I only guessed that maybe he is doing it, cause many might be "head-hunting" him considering how he playing these days, and he is trying to stay healthy. Maybe he is trying to send a message? Don't know. I say absorb the hit. It is hockey. If the hit turns out to be dirty, let the league handle it, or don't handle it (as they sometimes do).

However, in the meantime, NYR stands at the top, and gave us a great game.

Well, I guess every once in a while they forget to give Cooke his meds.

I think this is just a case of 'sports' writers having difficulties coming up with scintillating stories ever since the Avery left the stage.

Not much daylight between 1st and 6th, is there? Lose a couple and you're looking up at two or three teams.

After yesterday's game I must agree. The no good, dirty, rotten ........... Sob. :)

His talent and ability are not noticed to the degree they should be when Crosby is in the lineup and playing well.

So avoiding checks is dirty? Why don't you talk about the fact that Ovechkin leaves his skates for every hit, and targets the head quite often (as he did in Sunday's game against the Pens, a hit on Michalek)? Or PK Subban who slew-foots someone almost every game?

Yeah you should be on top cuz you got one more real win.

(ie- less Leaf points)

The only reason the Bruins are tied with the Rangers in points is that the ref in yesterday's game ignored the obvious illegal pick on one of the Bruins goals. Ah, well, what can you do ;)

No matter how hard you try to make it disappear, the Leafs still beat Detroit this year 'nucker. It happened.
