Geno's Place

Yesterday afternoon, Evgeni Malkin scored the game winning goal in overtime to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins over the Washington Capitals 4-3.  However, it wasn't the goal that make me take notice, as the video evidence will show:

Notice his moves before passing off the puck to a teammate?  Rarely do I have a loss for words on a hockey play, but Malkin's ability just to keep the play alive in Washington's zone before finding the open man elicited a "Wow!" from this blogger.  If Malkin wins the Hart Trophy at the end of this year, I will happily point to this moment as the one that defines his season, and that's not even including the fact that he's been an integral part of Pittsburgh's push for a playoff spot.
