Malkin Suspended


Now, I'm not condoning what Raffl did, punching Malkin in the back of the head. That's dirty in its own right. But who swings their stick at someone??

Also, and I don't want to start any fights, but it's been a long time coming for Malkin. He's somehow escaped supplemental discipline for a number of questionable actions up until now. But now that the standard has been set, let's see if the DOPS can maintain it...


OK, I can't even say that with a straight face. :laugh:

A non-star player would get 3-5 games. Doesn't matter that there was no serious injury. It was a reckless swing with no aiming. Just lucky that it didn't do lasting damage. He has a history of borderline stuff....

I'm a Pens fan through and through but Malkin has this habit of spazzing out. Puck gets stolen, he slashes someone, gets a hit put on him he doesn't like and retaliates. He takes far too many childish penalties.
