Dedicated to Patrick N. and the good citizens of Korea (both sides)
Run away child found
Well then, Evgeni Malkin returned after disappearing into thin air by showing up at the Kings BEAUTIFUL practice facility in El Segundo. Inside Pulse had reported that Malkin was in Los Angeles on Thursday but no one believed that until TSN took credit for the news (well, not really) and suddenly the hockey world took notice. Malkin skated with other NHL players and was quick to start talking about how he felt “offended” by his Russian teams insistance that he sign with them and then their audacity to be upset when he up and left them.
Malkin still can’t officially play for the Penguins but he has filed his two-week notice with his Russian team, Magnitogorsk..who happen to have great looking jerseys, by the way. Much cooler than the goofy penguin. Now it’s all a matter of how much the Pens will pay for his contract or whether Malkin’s Russian team can win their lawsuit (once it’s filed) and get Malkin back over there and the latter probably isn’t going to happen.
The point of all of this is that everyone can now rest calmly at night. Malkin is safe and, who would have thunk it, is in the United States with his U.S. agents and looking to play in the NHL. Mystery solved.
Fantasy Hockey
Now, onto something that most of us might care about just a bit more than Malkin or some agent whos free on bail: Fantasy hockey! I’ve challenged Patrick N. to a duel via fantasy hockey and after much smack talking back and forth which included a 10 minute debate over which Duff sister is hotter (He took the nameless one while I was all for the talentless, more famous Duff sibling with the new bleached chompers) he accepted and it’s Omar Padilla’s Hockey Gods Vs Patrick N’s Crappy Team.
If you’d like to join in on drubbing Patrick’s team as well, send me an e-mail and I’ll send you the league info so you can sign up. Maybe.
Good night, everybody!
