Evgeni Malkin enters Beast Mode vs. Tampa: Hat trick, 5 points, spectacular goal (Video)

went for his knees? apparently lecavalier has never watched malkin and how he ducks hits the same way all the time along the boards.

Malkin wasn't the aggressor on that play, how did he target Lecavaliers legs. Vinny was just upset that Malkin took over the game in a way that Lecavalier hasn't been able to do in about 4 years.

worse than lecavalier accusing malkin of going for the knees is listening to the handjobs on nbc sports saying how malkin low bridged him, and compared it to the marchand hit. call me crazy, but malkin is avoiding contact, whereas marchand was skating into it.

Truth is, when Geno turns it on like this, he's playing at a whole different level than anyone on the ice.

Vinny threw the hit, how the hell does Malkin ducking the hit translate to "going for his knees?" Perhaps Guy should have been paying attention to the game, maybe his team would have not gotten their #$%$ handed to them.

Beast mode indeed.

beast mode son. only took him half a period to get a hatty.

Awww, poor Lecavalier bumped his wittle knee on the boards when he tried to check Geno. Of course, it's Geno's fault. Vinnie, you're a such a #$%$

Don't make Malkin angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

I thought lecavlier's sucker punch while the linesman were holding both players was far dirtier than geno trying to avoid the hit. I guess he's supposed to just stand there? He ducked away from the contact. That is a pretty common play.

Think Malkin would really go at someone's knee's after he just came back from knee surgery himself, yeah no, it's called check avoidance, he always goes down low like that when he is near the boards and someone is trying to check him.

This #$%$ me off only because I forgot there was an early game today, woke up late, and found that I didn't have Malkin dressed.

@Legal #$%$ funny to hear crap from a Rags fan, team has won ONE Cup in SEVEN DECADES and are relevant for the first time since the mid 90s, let's see how those juggernauts are doing come March then maybe you can start popping off again.

he's too inconsistent. sometimes he's the most dominant player on the ice. other times you check the box score to see if he even played a shift.

I like the beast mode.

Who the hell cares.

Team is in 7 place, why do we care again?

malkin is a b***h. he's got that chin strap locked so tight, his bucket is never coming off.

Any time anyone associated with sports mentioned "Beast mode" I think of the Canadian produced digitally animated program, "Beast Wars". Or, as it was known in Canada, "Beasties". Upvote this if you know what I'm talking about.

This is the real Geno. He can do this almost at will. Lecavalier is a good player BUT not at 8 million. TB GM won't admit it,but boy is Lecavalier overpaid. Maybe the Habs should really try and get him. They have a HABit of overpaying under performers. I.E Scott Gomez, Brian Gionta, Tomas Kaberle(a joke ) . At least they dumped Cammarrelli's 6 million a year contract. Gauthier,you're done. Why don't you just resign?

Beast mode i love it!
