From Josh Yohe's latest article, "The truth about Evgeni Malkin and why he should stay in Pittsburgh":
"Former Penguins assistant coach Gary Agnew once told me a story that might summarize how difficult Malkin can be at times. Malkin apparently never knew Agnew’s name during the 2014-15 season. During training camp in 2015, Agnew and Malkin passed each other in a hallway two days in a row without Malkin acknowledging him. Finally, on the third day when they again passed each other, Agnew stopped Malkin in his tracks.
“I’m a coach,” Agnew told him. “I’m Gary.”
A few days later, their paths crossed again. Malkin dramatically stopped in his tracks, turned his body 90 degrees to the right, and said, “Hi, Gary.”
