Giving someone a taste of their own medicine isn’t “playing dirty”. They even say he usually doesn’t hit like that so nah.

Nah, fuck Tom Wilson

No problem with Malkin’s play here except for the flop at the end.

He can be. I think the common theme has always been, when a top talent player is dirty, he’s seen as “ultra competitive” where as a middle tier/grinder is just a dirty scum bag on the ice.

Clean

Pens fan. He can be, but in this play? Absolutely not.

This play isn’t dirty, but didn’t he swing his stick at someone’s head once? I know he takes really stupid penalties if he loses his cool.
mykingsburner18
He has a bit of a temper and sometimes that leads to borderline plays. I wouldn’t say he’s generally dirty though. Big, physical, and kinda mean, but generally within the lines.
I know people are going to bring up individual plays, but you can do that for anyone who’s been in the league for almost 20 years and playing at a high level.
BallsMahogany_redux
Yes, but not because of this play.
Dude has taken two handed baseball swings at opposing players heads more than once. He just got incredibly lucky he didn’t make contact.
CubicalWombatPoops
No such thing as dirty against Wilson.
Donutsaremydownfall
He sure is. I love him, but definitely dirty.
SimplyViolated
To be fair he hit Wilson, one of the dirtiest players in the game currently so…kinda had it coming. But also, Angry Geno is different than regular Geno. He really plays differently when he’s mad
PurkkOnTwitch
Clean. Surprisingly clean considering who it was against.
rullarzutt
Yes? That’s his thing?
eXile200
Both him and Sid have always had an edge to their game that has been borderline dirty at times. It’s nothing compared to the abuse they’ve taken.
The only dirty thing in this clip is the move on Carlson
AirborneMarburg
He’s Russian…

Not when it’s Tom Wilson. When it’s Tom Wilson any hit it fair

He can be dirty at times but there was nothing dirty he did here.
goatlover1966
Malkin plays very dirty!
goatlover1966
And he flops right in front of the ref.

Fuck Tom Wilson
youuuuwish
Looked clean to me. Besides, Wilson can eat a bag of dicks.

Malkin can be pretty damn dirty. Missed commenting earlier on Dahlin. He is pretty dirty actually but I’m a fan.
VOLTswaggin
I’ve never thought of him as dirty. Wouldn’t call him squeaky clean by any means, but he always seemed pretty straight up. I like to rag on the Penguins, and call them out for even the slightest infraction, but I can’t ever recall having issue with Malkin beyond the fact that he’s a great player on the other side of the ice.
Plus, that’s Tom Wilson, and half the reason he’s on the ice is to make players lose their cool, and do shit like that. This clip isn’t so much Malkin being dirty as it is Wilson doing his job, by getting under his skin, and getting Malkin to do something dirty.

It’s hard to feel sympathy when guys like Wilson or Marchand get hit dirty.

Nope

Can’t be dirty against Tom Wilson. Everything goes!
throwawayuser488
Would love to hear the things Wilson was saying leading up to this.
-Redacto--
Yes, he’s dirty. He ended Willie Mitchell’s season by hitting him into the boards from behind. I’m sure there’s plenty more examples.

Malkin could punch Tom Wilson’s mother in the mouth, on a Sunday, In Church…
…and it would be a clean hit, because fuck Tom Wilson
KrakenWize
I mean…Tom Wilson is an absolute piece of shit.
Randy_Butternubs666
Yes. But it’s part of his game. Lots of players are on the edge like.that. It’s hockey. it’s what makes him effective, or adds to his effectiveness.

Only dirty thing he did was dive at the end.. but I don’t really blame him. I woulda done the same and let Wilson go to the box
Hutch25
He is dirty, but dare I say he is the good kind.
He’s not a Trouba, or a Wilson, instead he is more of a Byfuglien type where he will lay questionable hits but they are on other big or dirty players.
SnooOpinions8755
He can be a little dirty from time to time. But it’s Tom Wilson, so who cares?
