Don't joke about it. Malkin's PK time:
- rookie season: 36:02
- 2nd season: 66:30
- last 57 games under Therien 79:53
- next 301 games under Bylsma 38:01
- next 33 games under MJ 2:33

The only joke about Malkin's PK time is how little he gets. Apparently, even though he was out for the end of the PK as Kunitz was about to leave the box, he still was credited on the scoresheet with 0 PK time tonight, that's how laughable Malkin on the PK is, even to the Bolts statisticians apparently.

That's the point and I don't understand why. The most surprising thing for me is how sharp that change was when Bylsma came (from over 1:30 to roughly 20 seconds). And it wasn't the "we have others to pk so our star can play more even strength" because Crosby was used in similar manner as before (40-50s before, 35-50s after).
