  1. Had to be done. We can’t bitch about Malkin doing it and then turn a blind eye to the kid doing the same thing. He’ll learn and mature.

  2. Yeah when that happened even at home on my couch I winced a little. Makes sense.

    Glad he’s back in the scoring column though.

  3. I didn’t get intentional from the high stick, but it was definitely reckless and worthy of the fine.

    I feel like Mich needs time to mellow, but he also needs the language skills to respond without being physical. Get him conversational and then give him some chirping lessons with TK.
