you can decide for yourself which is funnier, aode.
I remember that.
Kudos to Turgeon for throwing some punches, something he never did...but yeah, Hrkac snuck one in there and dropped #77.

The days of Pronger and MacInnis...fun times.

How can you even compare those?! Semin is way funnier. Okay, Turgeon was flailing away with his gloves on but at least he didn't look like a 14 year old Spice Girls impersonator while he was doing it.

Plus it happened so fast in real time it just looked like a whirlwind of arms and then they both fall down.

Brewer, Jackman, Eller and two first rounders for Malkin who will walk in a year anyway. He needs a team where he can be THE man and not playing under another's shadow.
Not in a million years would Pittsburgh take anything close to this deal. Brewer AND Jackman- two defenseman who have near-0 upside offensively being traded to a highly-offensive team in a highly-offensive division? They may consider taking one in a trade (more likely being Jackman because, for whatever reason, his name still runs pretty high in the league), but not both. Pittsburgh would want a few first rounders (as you stated), and a top-6 winger. I don't even know if Perron would cut it; Oshie might be more likely due to his slight scoring touch and gritty play that could possibly help protect the Crosbys of the team.

Malkin is a franchise player on a team that has two franchise players. Unloading Malkin would warrant a HUGE return. Maybe E.J. would be an acceptable return rather than Oshie or whatever top-6 forward they would want, but I wouldn't count on it. I would say don't get your hopes up to any team in the league; its unlikely Malkin is going anywhere at least until his contract is up.
