Malkin's penalty rescinded (merged)

[Glubki 17]

I just looked up the box score and according to yahoo - Walker did get an instigator penalty in the game - with no suspension.

It's funny because I watched that game on hockeystreams.com and I could have swore they didn't call the instigator penalty on him that night.

That will be the biggest BS if he plays in Game 3. I'm tired of these guys taking runs at us and not paying for it with penalty minutes.

[Barrie 900]

Hank got a few good shots in there when the ref was trying to break them up. Way to go Z

I always try and find a moment where a team panics, Malkin's fight may have been that moment.

I wouldn't be surprised either way if Malkin's in, or if he isn't. However, there's rules for a reason, and I think Malkin should sit out Game 3.

[CenterIce 83]

Well, it was also punching with a ******* stick to the head and a bunch of other b.s. Maybe it got lost in the chaos, but Malkin very clearly holds onto his stick, slams it into Z's head and then wraps it around Zetterberg. Hopefully Malkin doesn't rile the Wings up. Let the Pens panic.

Yeah, I saw that, too.

[Guest Four]

I'm sure Babs will bring it to the leagues attention

[CenterIce 83]

Automatic is automatic. Its not maybe or the player should be suspended, its cut and dry no? If Pittsburgh is sans Malkin, they are without the only player I've felt to be a genuine threat, and if this is so, Zetterberg has officially neutralized both of their top guns single-handedly.

As someone pointed out, Walker got the same, and the suspension was rescinded.

malkin in for game 3 per TSN panel

[sherwood40 16]

I don't think the refs issued an instigator penalty on him...

He did get the Instigator, but remember who's league this is, good ole' bettman and you know what he does after every game for cindy crybaby

[Motown4013 350]

Malkin= douchebag cheapshot artist!

[edicius 3,269]

By the rules, Malkin should be suspended. But the league, as shown with the Walker/Ward instigator, has discretion.

On another note...was that Zata's first career fighting major?

[RainingBlood 8]

I don't think the refs issued an instigator penalty on him...

NHL.Com has 2 for instigator, 5 for fighting, 10 minute misconduct. Thats where the redwings got the 5-3 from.

[uk_redwing 495]

Damn, apart from Ericsson's fight the wings have probaby made Probert throw up in his mouth a couple of times.

Buttman and his boy-toy.

[redwings1914 18]

Oh of course the rules do not apply.

[mjlegend 155]

Won't happen. Not in a million years.

This, plus another million years.

The Penguins frustration came to a head late in the game as Maxime Talbot speared Osgood in the chest following a save, Henrik Zetterberg came to the aid of his netminder and ended up getting into a fight with Evgeni Malkin. Malkin was given an instigator penalty for the incident, but the NHL has rescinded the automatic suspension and he will be available for Game 3.

So I guess Pittsburgh is special...

Read what he quoted.

Ya - I was referring to Walker vs. Boston...

[wingsrock34 0]

I'm 99.9% sure the same thing happened with Shane Doan and they rescinded

the suspension. The only part I'm not sure on was if he had an instigator or if it was just a fight in the last 5 min.

[Big_Mike 1]

It'll be recinded. It wasnt anything, it was just a little boy letting his frustration out all the while looking like an idiot

Agreed. He needs to go and have his mother cook him a good dinner, and have some warm milk before bed time. What a child!

not only did the nhl rescind it, but bettman noticed malkin seemed a little too tense--so he's going to work malkin's pipes and swallow the gravy before game 3.

[PotbellyJoe 10]

It's been rescinded already, according to TSN...
