Leaf Rumours

I would be stunned if Malkin is moved...really.

The only team that could make sense to me would be LAK...and i'd be asking for Kopitar and Jack Johnson, minimum.
 
Lets put this Malkin thing to rest ... Pittsburgh will never hire a GM who's stupid enough to trade Malkin. End of story there.

Semin is an interesting thing. McPhee is going to do SOMETHING with this team. He has to, after another early exit when everybody, from fans to players to management, were expecting a much, much deeper run.

I am not so sure Semin is Burke's guy, but if you tell me McPhee will consider trading Semin, I'd believe it.
 
But is he older than matter?

Time is a relatively new invention created by man and it encompasses linear thinking.
 
Does God have an age? Doesn't omnipotence preclude oneself from the constraints of time and this mortal coil?

I guess it depends if this "god" you speak of is a function of the universe or if the universe is a function of this "god".

If "god" is a governing function built into the design of the universe, then indeed it would be constrained by time the same way us humans are, just on a much more impressive scale.

Valid point as even the stars are constrained to what we call time.

However, taking a traditional theological point of view, I was referring to the universe being a separate entity and not God being a function of it.

Can't confirm, but certainly sounds like "you-know-who".

From Elliot Friedman's blog on CBC:

One GM I really respect told me that if you're going to sign a guy to a long-term, big-money, cap-eating deal, he must be three things: a critical part of your team, a guy who can stay healthy, and someone who can motivate himself to bring it every night.
Malkin is not number three. And, that jeopardizes number one.

BG, you suggesting that is Burke?

I think the knock on Malkin among the media ppl is way too harsh, most probably because he is Russian.

No, Malkin didn't 'bring it' in the series vs the Habs, this is a fact, but neither did Crosby, or Gonchar, or MAF. Did Crosby contribute significantly more than Malkin? Crosby LOOKED more pissed about the loss than Malkin, but neither was a factor, and both players were equally guilty of giveaways and defensive lapses in the last 3 games.

I do know last time the Pens won the cup though, the guy who put the team on his shoulder was Malkin, not Crosby. Crosby hoisting that cup is a lasting image in many people's mind, but I remember Malkin being the clutch player, especially in the Detroit series. And he won the Conn Smythe too, deservingly.

Nobody really 'brings it' every single night, but I don't think Malkin has any more 'nights off' than, say, Phaneuf. And that says a lot about Malkin.

And for that reason, I am sure Pittsburgh is NOT trading Malkin.
 
Malkin is still just a kid. People forget that, too, mostly because of how great he is. Athletes aren't allowed to grow up and mature as people as well as players?
