Malkin's killing me lately. Guy has a world of talent, but I think his work ethic lacks in a big way. I've heard rumors of his steadfast refusal to improve specific parts of his game that he struggles with (i.e. faceoffs), and I think that's one big thing that separates him from 87.
Bruce Boudreau is coming off like a whiny baby. There is no doubt that a lot of Pens/Caps fans are obsessed with beating each other. However, it definitely extends to the actual team/coaches in Washington. When Ovechkin almost threw his stick in the air in celebration with ten seconds remaining in a regular season contest, I knew things would be ok.
By the way, I missed everyone!
