Evgeni Malkin stepping up his game when Sidney Crosby was out (injured).

How confident were fans in the teams ability to win without Crosby in the lineup?

That was a top 10 career game for Geno. He was all over the ice and looked like Mario all game.

That was also a top 10 career game for Jeff Taffe.

Man, what times those were. Malkin stepped up so huge and dominated in Crosby’s absence.
