Malkin in LA

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=174525&hubname=nhl

From Finland/Russia to L.A. Lalaland. THAT is what I call an upgrade :D

It says he is working out at the Kings practice facility. Maybe he can show Sean Avery how to play hockey.

this situation would be fantastic if it wasn't so totally insane
and *** was malkin doing giving his passport up in the 1st place?

A bit funny, first Crosby practices with the Kings and now Malkin. Granted, Crosby wasn't drafted by the Penguins yet at that time. Maybe a sign of things to come though :)

At this point I can't see ANY hindrance to him being in the starting lineup on opening night. Well, unless he gets injured. Oh dear.

Sean could teach Malkin how to cover his head and fall down when the Russian Government comes after him.

Being a good Russian citizen.

I hope he can put this behind him and play some good hockey this year.

Simple. The team collected passports of all players to get them stamped "in bulk" at passport control. Or some bs like that.

Sounds like his team unwillingly held Malkin hostage and him and his agents created a bit of a ploy to delay his arrival to the US, in order to assure his Russian club into thinking that Malkin had committed to them.

Now there be some clever agents!

lol finally Malkin has been found!

it says on espn.com that hes practicing in LA with NHL players including Rob Blake and Mathieu Schneider

He's been hanging around with Aquaman over there lately.

However...Metallurg's GM Gennadi Velichkin just stated the two weeks notice is a fake. "The signature is unreadable" - he added :D

well if you jumped up and down on a letter for an hour or two........the signature might be a little hard to read. :)

Well atleast this ends the debate of where he is

Yeah, I'm sure they were just keeping his passport to make sure he didn't spill any soda on it.

This is irrelevent. There isn't a judge in the country that will rule Malkin's contract to Magnitogorsk as valid, knowing Velichkin was holding Malkin's passport. It's called duress...and the USA is not Russia (ie, Velichkin can't hire goons to break the judge's legs).

God damn, Velichkin is a sleazeball. I don't see why the NHL negotiates with the RSL. This is a league where managers maniacally hang onto players, gun down underperforming coaches, and pay all the players under the table perpetrating I don't know how much tax fraud. The RSL resembles a Verdun cockfight moreso than an actual, respectable hockey league. "Sports terrorism" :rolleyes:

So when's the movie coming out?


Is that picture of Malkin from today?

Why - are you looking for proof of life?

I thought this thread was going to be about Malkin being traded to the Kings.

It says he is working out at the Kings practice facility. Maybe he can show Sean Avery how to play hockey.

avery had nearly 40 points... he can play

Sure, but he's still the biggest joke in pro hockey.

40 points is nothing.

40 points is nothing.

Really? Then I guess only 179 players in the NHL are worth anything, because that is how many players in the league had more than 40 points.

Ya I knew it wasn't true but as many said on our forum heart skipped for few seoncds when we went on TSN to read: Malkin in LA

It says he is working out at the Kings practice facility. Maybe he can show Sean Avery how to play hockey.

He's a hockey player, not a miracle worker.

Omg Malkin 2 La?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

Come on you media whizzus, time for more movie posters:

L.A. Confidential

Sure, but he's still the biggest joke in pro hockey.



I thought Aki Berg (sp?) was the biggest joke in hockey:dunce:

Garth Snow, Mike Milbury, Charles Wang, Alexei Yashin and Tom Poti might be a little too quick to agree.

hit the "Malkin's agent JP Barry" link inside the origional story. Shows Malkin from today, apparently, in a brief clip.

Federal Sports Agency chief Vyacheslav Fetisov, a former NHL great, made it clear he thought the team should pay. What does he think the hockey player is worth? "For a guy like Malkin," Fetisov said at a meeting Thursday with reporters, "$20 million is appropriate."

http://www.moscowtimes.ru/stories/2006/08/18/002.html

What is Fetisov smoking? They keep somehow thinking Malkin = Shevchenko. But it's simply not the case. NHL doesn't have the money that international soccer has, and Malkin ain't Sheva.

That's funny, and sad. Poor Slava.... keep dreaming.

Well it's good to see he's willing to be reasonable. :rolleyes:

MALKIN spelled backwards is "In LA, M"

Really? I could have sworn it was Niklam :dunno: ....;)

hmm.....what could he be possibly trying to tell us with NIKLAM....

This can only mean one thing: Malkin will demand a trade to LA

Really? I could have sworn it was Niklam :dunno: ....;)

In LA K(ings) M(alkin) there you go, used all letters

The Hunt for Red Malkin ?!?!

The deals to Richards, Jagr, Iginla, Lidstrom, Chara, Yashin, et all says it can afford paying the Russians too.

Comparing transfer fees in Soccer to Hockey is ludicrous. 20 million is laughable.

MKALNI reveresed. That's close. Good find.

It looks like Russia still hasn't got the hang of that capitalism thing.

Haha, did you see "25 frame effect" at the end ? They are trying to zomb people. To say that Malkin is ok (he is smiling in 25 frame), but it's not so ! :biglaugh:
