When their franchise player in Crosby is out with an injury, they've got Malkin. Fleury Malkin Crosby J. Staal However did that franchise turn things around so quickly??

They got pretty lucky too though....even if you have the first pick every year, you don't see guys like Crosby or Malking come around that often. They did well to finish the season last year, but they didn't get out of the first round of the playoffs. If Crosby doesn't come back, I think you'll see their opponent do their best to shut Malkin down....if they can do that, the Pens won't go far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
