Adams just took a beating to build Malkins confidence apparently , because the guy knows his ass is grass if he catches Malkin with anything serious.
A total scrub who is one of the hardest working players in the NHL, great on the pk and always looked to for veteran advice. Craig may not score goals, skate fast or protect the puck well but he's a monster in his own zone and great motivator to his team.
Dan used him in important situations for a reason. A regular scrub does not start in the opening faceoff in games or finish the final minute over guys like Crosby and Malkin
So what?
It's not like Adams pulled a gun on Malkin. Two teammates spontaneously going at it in practice is not a big deal, but of course it's melodrama here.
Long grinding season, "living" with the same 20+ people for nearly 9 straight months...frankly, I'd be encouraged that the Pens showed intensity in a mundane practice taking place smack in the middle of a long winter slumber.
If/when Adams leaves the Pens, it won't be because of this non-incident.
The fight was the result of the high stick.
Malkin high sticks Craig
Craig goes after Malkin
Both exchange a few punches
Craig tussles Malkin to the ice
This has happened many times among many teams over the history of the NHL.
It "foreshadows" nothing.
Much ado about nothing. No need to over-react. The Pens certainly won't.

Sorry Ray, but Craig Adams, a once useful utility player, sucks and has sucked for quite awhile now.
Who's to say it doesn't foreshadow the trade of Malkin? Adams is arguably just as important to the team.
Pls respond.I really, really, really hope you come back and try to defend this statement.

What could Craig Adams possibly advise NHL players on?

How to be a mole.
If you put 30 alpha males in a room together, stuff like this will happen sometimes.
Kind of surprising since we've seen Malkin fight before and I've seen more brutal outcomes in tickle fights than the weak slap punches he threw.
