Malkin has been absolutely useless in these Olympics. Datsyuk-Radulov-Kovalchuk combo has been much better in this tournament

It also shows how silly it is to evaluate a player, one of the best in the world, on a sample size of three games.

He did quite alright when Sid was out with the concussion issues.

This happens all the time when comparing performances in their respective pro leagues and the international game.

That's what happens when you stick him Ovechkin and Semin. Two guys who don't play his style.

Give Malkin, Kulemin and Tarasenko and he'll be the best Russian.

Also, Malkin plays better without Crosby.

So excited about tomorrows game at noon. Definitely will not be a cakewalk as the Czechs can ring up the goals but I think our speed should be a great advantage. I'm predicting a Sweden-Russia and US-Canada semi

That goal to end the period is huge. Those are just huge momentum shifters. Can totally kill a teams spirits.

Remember, the Czechs are playing the 2nd game in a back to back. I think they will taper off a little.
