In 2008, Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins walked away from the Stanley Cup final broken. He finished that playoff run with 22 playoff points and nothing to show for it but scars. The following season, Malkin did not just respond, he erupted, posting 113 regular season points and claiming the league’s scoring crown. How did a wounded star transform into the National Hockey League’s unstoppable force and set the groundwork for a playoff run so jaw-dropping, people wondered if the 2009 version of Malkin was even human?

Imagine prime Ovechkin, Malkin, and Kucherov on the same line. That would have been something. Great video btw
Great video man, keep it up!
great video keep up
One of the greatest individual performances ever. At this point, he could bend the whole pace of the game to his will in a way that not even Crosby or Ovechkin could.
Pens lost at home in 2008 not at Joe Louis Arena
Toward the end of the video you say, the penguins in game 7 head to the Joe Louis arena, the same place their dreams shattered the year before. This is incorrect. They lost in game 6 the year before in the mellon arena.
pretty good video. your pronunciation of evgeni is painful tho lol. and no one was worried about the pens window closing here. it was just opening.
2 seconds is all it took to discredit your whole video. Ev-Jenny Malkin.
Here's an idea. If you're going to make a video about a person, its a great idea to start with learning how to say their name correctly. Do better.
