Malkin at 1,000; a star hiding in plain sight. MORE:
VIDEO SIGN OUT's stall, parting only to let the Pittsburgh Penguins captain slip through and tug on a baseball cap before the lights flip on, the microphones close in and the questions come.goes about his business quietly as part of his game-day routine, consulting with a staff member about a piece of equipment before ducking out, a star hiding in plain sight.
"You know how hard those things are to do?" Crosby said."And to see him do it the way he does is pretty special."When the NHL released its top 100 players of all-time in conjunction with the league's 100th anniversary in 2017, Crosby and Ovechkin's names were on the list. Malkin's was not, a fact he tried to play off by joking that if he won a couple of more Stanley Cups he could be No. 101.
It's just that he happens to share a dressing room with the league's most recognizable name and the same homeland as the greatest Russian player ever. Malkin's 1.178 career points per game is second-highest among active players. Crosby is first. Ovechkin is third. "Sid's the hardest-working guy I've ever played with and I think he has to do that to be at the level he's at," Orpik said."You can see Geno take a month off and come back and most guys are usually pretty rusty, he's pretty much right at that level all the time."Malkin's milestone moment came during an uncharacteristically uneven season.
