It's Malkin's Party And He'll Do What He Wants To
Via someone in cblog.
Malkin, on his day with the cup played in some game.
Check out the first :39 seconds.
Yea, that is pretty cash.
After the jump, another reason why Malkin > you.
UPDATE:
First of all I'd like to thank my parents, my mom and my dad. They have always believed and supported me. I'd also like to thank my first coach. He also always believed in me, he put his love and soul into training me. Of course i also want to thank Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Kombinat. Thank you very much for this sports complex. Thank you for the 2 best ice rinks in Russia, in my opinion, that have raised a lot of good players, and will raise future stars. It doesn't matter where we play, we always represent Magnitogork and Metallurg, the team I played for and colors I defended. Any trophy won by me or any other player will be brought to this city of Magnitogork.
(Some applause some boos in the crowd)
I would also like to thank all of the fans out there. Thank all of you that came here today. All those that were cheering for our team... (pause, as if he wanted to say Penguins) ...Metallurg. I want to wish Metallurg many many wins and winning gold in the next season. Thank you."
Top Five: Fictional Athletes

It can be a top five list about anything you want. Just email us your list, with Youtube links and pics. We'll pick the best one for the week and post it. If no one does it, really we couldn't care less.
Today's top five is actually a top eight, but whatev.

It's the top eight fictional athletes.

And it is actually worse than you can imagine.
More after the jump, but in case you decide not to make it, this pic should do.
12 Penguins Games We're Looking Forward To
We're at the point in our hockey withdrawal where an exhibition game between Atlanta and Phoenix would excite us.
Then we look at the Penguins schedule and realize that there are going to be much, much better games played this season.
The last time we saw the Pittsburgh Penguins on the ice they were holding the greatest trophy in sports above their heads.
The Summer of Wooooo that followed was one of the greatest celebrations of our collective lives.
But that summer is coming to an end and it's almost time to drop the puck once again.
The Penguins are holding an open prospect camp on Sunday.
Training camp won't be far behind.
Then comes the preseason and finally the regular season.
It's definitely going to be an exciting year.
We've put together a list of the 12 regular season games that we're looking forward to the most.
Your list will probably be different.
Post it in Cblog.
Last Weekend in August
Like that old man who lives in the woods near your house, fall is quietly creeping up on us.
The good news is that so is hockey season.
But we've still got a lot of Summer of Woooooo pics to post.
Blue Jackets Pre-sale Code
Last year in columbus.
From reader Zach L.
Well well well. The Blue Jackets have a special pre-sale for individual game tickets for season ticket holders that started this morning. Seeing as I am not a BJ season ticket holder, I was not emailed the special "pre sale code". But after 2 (yes two) attempts at cracking the code, I now know it! The code is- "mason". Please pass this along through the blog. Last year when the Pens played the BJs, the Pens fans near outnumbered the BJ fans. To repeat that again this year would make Charlie proud.
Do it.
Hockey In August
Nights like this is why we want to move to Canada.
The Canadian Olympic team wrapped up their camp with a scrimmage. 19,000 people packed the Saddledome in Calgary.
Crosby, Staal, and MAF all played.
Bing scored on MAF in the shootout. Somehow there is no video of this right now and it is pissing us off.
Solid pic of MAF after the jump.
How unreal are the winter Olympics going to be?
