For No. 35 of 100 top NHL moments, Steve Dangle looks back at Evgeni Malkin answering the bell for a high hit in their previous mathcup, and chucking knuckles with Blake Wheeler out of respect.

"I respect wheeler he is like leadership" -Evgeni Malkin 2017
Boy oh boy do I hate Malkin and his antics.
I forgot that Tostitos is the one who got into a fight after Geno
AND NO STEVE I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THAT BONINO LEFT US
In 2-4 years the Canucks are going to be better than they are now
Steve dangle is the best thing to happen to sn
When you don't recognize either name of two people fighting, you know they're the fourth line enforcers rofl

Winnipeg jets have the 2nd overall pick Patrik Laine and leafs have the 1st overall pick ( Auston Matthews❤️) and they had a game where laine scored a hatty against the leafs on the Winnipeg jets team which means it's basically about the leafs
They use this garbage fight but not almighty McQuaids ko on Martin? Smh
34 tomorrow it's Matthews for sure
Moral of the story, Sestito blows.

Let's be real, Malkin fought less out of respect for Wheeler, and more out of self-preservation (he knew the Jets were going to run him until they got him).
Who remembers Malkin on the first line,
Ya I don't either..!
So sad the liberal idiots who don't even watch hockey are trying to get this banned out of the game. Hockey just doesn't feel the same with less and less fights every year 🙁
As a jets fan I gained a lot of respect for Malkin for agreeing to the fight. It shows class.
Sure, it was probably mostly self-preservation but you gotta hand it to Malkin, he stepped up and dropped them when he understood that was what it would take to square things. Plus, he admit that the hit on Wheeler was not pretty and seemed to understand why they'd go after him for it. For instance, Sid would probably just whine and land yet another of his cheap shots…
I was at that game
Im a Detroiter but I remember tuning in to HNIC for this game. Took me back to the 90s
