When many facets of the game are played even between Pitt. and Car., the skills of a Malkin make the difference. He alone was what tipped the scales in Pittsburgh's favor. I'm not a big Crosby fan, but you can't take anything away from his skill set either. Crosby's only problem is that he's no Ovechkin, he knows that, and I think he wears that on his sleeve.

The Penguins have to come to our house now. Those Versus guys can get stuffed. The RBC Center can, and will, be the loudest house in the NHL. I will be there to contribute a few dB. Beyond that, its up to the Canes to dig a little deeper to find a solution to Pittsburgh's talent.
