Evgeni Malkin Jersey's Recent Dominance A Reminder Of His Ability
Dec 22, 2010 - Evgeni Malkin Jersey tallied 77 points in 67 games during an injury-plagued 2009-10 NHL season that was widely regarded as disappointing. After all, coming off of an Art Ross-winning 2008-09 season,NCAA Jerseys, expectations were high for Evgeni Malkin Jersey.
Logic would dictate that those very expectations were a bit out of hand, especially considering Evgeni Malkin Jersey averaged over a point a game over the course of the season. What more should one expect? What more could one expect?
The start of this season began with Evgeni Malkin Jersey showing much of the same - consistent, solid offensive output, a bit under a point a game, but nothing approaching what we had seen two years prior. As November carried on, he began to fade as Sidney Crosby's scoring streak kicked into high gear.
Finally succumbing to a left knee injury, Evgeni Malkin Jersey sat out for nearly two weeks. During the inaugural episode of HBO's behind-the-scenes NHL 24/7, which took place during Evgeni Malkin Jersey's time off, he could be seen gleefully skating through practice, telling Dan Bylsma that he wasn't yet ready to play in a game, but was very ready to work the power play in.
The extra work must have paid off. Evgeni Malkin Jersey returned in a big way against the Philadelphia Flyers on Dec. 12, scoring two goals on the power play in a losing effort. The following night, Geno did it again, scoring the Penguins' lone goal against the New York Rangers. Things were beginning to look up for Evgeni Malkin Jersey.
On Monday night, Evgeni Malkin Jersey put the entire NHL on alert, putting up five points during a 6-1 demolition of the Phoenix Coyotes.
No, fans shouldn't expect Evgeni Malkin Jersey to put up five points a night. This isn't a video game. What fans should expect is a Evgeni Malkin Jersey capable of doing this and, on occasion, actually going it. For too long, Evgeni Malkin Jerseyg looked dangerous instead of actually being dangerous. No longer.
This was the Evgeni Malkin Jersey who made the Penguins' three-center model work, able to carry a line on his own. This was the Evgeni Malkin Jersey who forced people to wonder whether he was better than Crosby or Alex Ovechkin. Flashes of this dominance had been seen earlier, in November, when he put up a hat trick against Atlanta and three assists against Carolina. But that wasn't quite what we're seeing from Evgeni Malkin Jersey now, as he roams the ice with the gaze of a predator, looking for the kill shot.
At his best, Evgeni Malkin Jersey invites comparisons to Mario Lemieux, showing incredible ability to stretch himself around defenders at will. For some time, that was gone, as Evgeni Malkin Jersey occasionally looked lost, frustrated, prone to the retaliatory penalty and unable to really hit top gear.
Since his return from injury, though, Evgeni Malkin Jersey has shown that he may be ready to return to the dominant form last seen from him in 2008-09. For the Penguins' to truly become a Stanley Cup contender this year, he must.
