Love the primer, thanks so much! I'm new to the whole Malkin bandwagon, so I really need the info.

I went to the Red Wings/Penguins game last week and got to stand inches from Malkin. What a bigggg boy he is. So handsome, too - much cuter than he looks on TV.

The best part, though, was watching Geno and Sid interact during the warm up. They watched each other do their stretches from across the ice. Geno kept jumping in line during the alternating shots drills so he was with Crosby. And they just smiled and smiled at each other while they skated around, mostly without seeming to say anything. I think Sid fangirls Geno more than we do. :-)

I'm just glad to be able to share! When I took my kids to the game, I didn't expect to spend the whole time shipping them so hard. Or, okay, I did, but I didn't expect them to give me so much ammunition!

I am combing through my daughter's iPad video to see if she caught any of it. If she did, I'll try to figure out how to share.

Did you hear Geno credit Sid with talking to him about his post Olympic funk? So sweet!
