Oh get real. Statsny isnt close to Malkin and Kops...

You're right Stastny is close to Kopitar, he's passed him.
I think the original quote was meant in a general sense not just based on the almighty statistics. And it's absolutely right- Malkin and Kopitar are much better than Stastny.

unlike malkin, stastny plays an amazing 2-way game

-2 on the season
doesnt play pk
isnt very strong on faceoffs
everyone saw his ass float at the youngstars game, ummm how is he excellent at both ends again?

Please. +/- doesn't make a difference, the only way to judge a players defensive aptitude is to watch him play. Don't give me a neutral +/- figure and try and pass it off to discredit Malkin's two-way game.
So what?
He's getting better. Although considering faceoffs are taken in all three zones, I don't know how someone can look at somebody's faceoff percentage and make a claim about his defensive game.
Oh, give me a break. This part will confirm to everyone that you have no argument whatsoever.
i made 4 points why he isnt an "excellent" 2-way player, he may be average at best, please outline how he is an "excellent" 2-way player?
Because he gets back there and positions himself properly, he plays like a third defenseman. Its that simple.i made 4 points why he isnt an "excellent" 2-way player, he may be average at best, please outline how he is an "excellent" 2-way player?
Malkin yes. But what makes Kopitar better than Stastny? Defence? Nope, Stastny is so sound positionally and blocks more shots than Kopitar. Faceoffs? Stastny has a 48.7% and Kopitar is 45.8%. Stastny is a plus 2 while Kopitar is a minus 9. Taking into consideration all these factors and the fact that Stastny has more points then Kopitar while averaging almost 3 minutes less per game and the fact that I've seen both play numerous times I must say Stastny is better than Kopitar.
My prospect is better than your prospect! Get real guys. Kopi, Stastny and Malkin all have a great shot at Calder and all have a great all around game. Malkin will win it though there isn't a doubt. Everyone should stop bickering.
You made four irrelevant points that have nothing to do with Malkin's two-way play. Maybe you should watch him play instead of looking at his +/- and drawing conclusions.
Because he gets back there and positions himself properly, he plays like a third defenseman. Its that simple.
And those four points of yours were immaterial.
Cite specific examples of Malkin's alleged lack of defensive game. If you mention the youngstars game, then you'll just be re-affirming how much you're full of it.
