High Noon Fantasy Hockey: Missing Malkin, Good/Bad/Ugly, Young Guns, the Show Down
IllegalCurve.com —
Welcome to the first installment of High Noon Fantasy Hockey.
The big news last week was the Penguins losing Malkin for the next two to three weeks. He’s a member of the High Noon team, so this news strikes close to home.
There is a bit of a silver lining, as it looks like this is a move to prevent something more serious down the road and Malkin has played all 82 games of the past two seasons, and all but four of his rookie year, so he’s tougher than most.
