And his issue the previous 3 seasons was NOT consistency. It was health.
Actually the last 4 seasons. He was great in Mike Johnston's first year UNTIL he got that ankle injury and kept trying to come back to early. It's why he could barely skate in the playoffs, although someone like
@ronduguayshair would say he was bad in the playoffs that year because of a lack of heart or details.
Truth be told, Malkin played hockry every bit as good as his best years in the 4 seasons after Bylsma was fired. His 200 foot hockey was better than any time since Therrien was fired.
This is my objection to that clown
@ronduguayshair. Not his critique of Geno's game NOW. Heck, I've been in a full fledged panic about his game since late November.
Rather the issue is his ignoring and otherwise white washing the last 4 years as a consistency issue rather than 4 years of CONSISTENTLY great play interrupted only by injuries.
That was the single dumbest thing I've ever read on a Penguins message board and wreaks at this point only of deliberate trolling or a sign that he needs to see a doctor about memory issues.
