Looks like the Wings have the series clinched. Malkin was asleep the whole series, I really think that was a major reason the Pens couldn't compete more evenly.

Malkin seems like one of those guys that only plays when he wants to. Kind of Like Jagr...all the skill in the world but the lack of consistent intensity is what makes a player great in the NHL. Malkin isn't really a 'team' player, just kind of plays for himself..

I do have to give props to Detroit. They have been dominant so long and did it through intelligent team building..I dont like them but they built their team the real way, really dont know how they managed to do it.

Truth is the Penguins lucked out by finishing last for years in a row and as a result were rewarded Crosby and Malkin
