Evgeni Malkin has a Stanley Cup ring, an NHL scoring championship and a playoff MVP award. What he does not have, at least in parts of North America, is a public presence equal to his accomplishments.

-Nobody disputes that Paul Martin has talent. The issue is whether itâs worth $5 million per year. If Martin was making $2-$3 million there wouldnât be so much trade speculation and perhaps not as much angst directed toward him.
-What was Jason Williams doing in the shootout...

This one is tough. Gonch was an aging defenseman. He came off a not-so solid playoff ( see Travis Moen's goal in game 7)
Paul Martin was the puck moving defenseman from the New Jersey Devils. He was younger, much less of a risk.

I’m not enjoying this season’s schedule – back-to-back games, then long lapses of time in between the next game – nope, I’m not liking it at all. What happened to games every other day?
