Will Malkin play against Finland?
Will Malkin play against Finland? He was thrown out of the game against Canada.

Jarkko Ruutu got a 5+20 against the Czech Republic and played against Canada, so again, why wouldn't he play?
gozar said:Ruutu did play because the Czechs choose not to report him to the "what-ever-it's-called". So if it's the same here, Canada can report him and then "what-ever-it's-called" judge the situation.

There didnt seem to be any sort of kick, only time Vinnys head got near Malkins feet was when Vinny punched Malkin in the ribs as he was sitting up.
MrAlfie said:just saw the replay again.
when i saw it on tv i didnt know why he got the match penalty because they didnt really focus on him and switched right away just before he tried to kick cavi...
whoa man.. i dont wanna imagine what wouldve happened if malkins blade connected with lecavaliers face.. very very dangerous and a total bonehead action by malkin...
i give him the benefit of being young but that was really stupid and i hope it the first and last time he did this..
in conclusion, he should be suspended for the next game, even though i love team russia
Kurtz said:I strongly disagree. Lecavalier punched him in the face or near it for absolutely no reason, so there's no way you can blame Malkin here. Its not as if he threw a malicious kick at his face here, be merely shoved Vinny off of him without bringing the blade anywhere near Vinny's face.

NVM, it was after the fall, which was hard to catch in the video. I see the kick now.
Game misconduct for that "kick" ? ***Walzy said:it's when both are on the ice an the ref comes in.....look at 00:10 and 00:11 of the video....i think that's the situation
