Arg!

So...Pittsburgh wins 8-4. Crosby gets 6 points. Pretty good, and I'm thinking, Ya, Malkin has to atleast get a few points. Malkin, zero points doesn't cut it. Not to mention the -2 as well. No Pims. Just crap.
Now, I shouldn't be to hard on the guy. He doesn't get to play with Crosby or anyone good. I just don't get why he doesn't play with Crosby! These two are insane together, they rack up mountains or points when together. Two reasons, that I can think of, that the coach doesn't put them together is because Malkin is a year older and maybe they think he can handle it. Hes new to the country, hes new to the NHL. Why not give him a linemate like Crosby to get him settled and happy with his surroundings. The guy fled Russia, for pete's sake, and you wont put him with the best player in the league?? The other reason, which may make sense, is the coach doesn't want to give other teams a look at what they can do together until playoff time, so they can't come up with a gameplan for it. Makes sense, but still, it hurts my hockey pool. Hurts the Hoser.
