I just read this letter from Malkin's parents written to him on the Pens site and wanted to share. Very nice read.
Dear Zhenya!
Dear Zhenya!
I was just thinking about his escape last week, wondering if the newer fans even know about it.Cool how Malkin and Crosby are such good friends.
Also, the stories of his escape from Magnitogorsk in Helsinki...so cool. Nowadays we hit refresh on any little thing going on - like the deadline and stuff. But I remember F5ing like crazy during those days in August 2016 once it became apparent he was headed over. That goal against Brodeur in his 4th game...man.

It's been a wild ride. I wouldn't change a thing.
I know it happened, but not much about the details.
I love that even his parents send him texts telling him to stay out of the BS and don't react to the other players trying to get under his skin.
