Multiple Penguins Players Speak On Heavy Evgeni Malkin Disrespect
Despite his age, Evgeni Malkin continues to be one of the most dominant forwards in the NHL, and his teammates have had enough of him being overlooked.
Penguins Players Speak Out on Malkin Disrespect
The NHL recently came out with its top-100 players list, and to the surprise of Penguins fans and players, failed to mention Evgeni Malkin, even in the honourable mentions. His teammates weren't shy about sharing their displeasure with leaving Malkin off the rankings.
ESPN recently came out with their top 100 NHL players list (and honourable mentions) Evgeni Malkin's name was not seen once. Here's what his teammates had to say about that. (Credits to Josh Yohe for the quotes)
Malkin off to a Hot Start This Year
Not only did Malkin record 27 goals and 56 assists for 83 points last season, he has already gotten off to a hot start this year. The 37-year-old has scored 2 goals and 4 assists for 6 points in 3 games for the Penguins so far this year.

It's clear that Malkin still has lots left in the tank, and the rest of the NHL would be remiss if they didn't respect that.
