Do you think its a coincidence that Malkin had one of his worst games of the season against Washington while Sykora was out of the line up. Well lets look at who his wingers were, Dupuis and Feds. Sound familiar world class center surrounded by to inferior wingers, all season all the fans said Malkin was better than Crosby and Crosby should be able to elevate his wingers (Dupuis and Feds) game if he is really that good.
Now all of the sudden Crosby has a supporting cast and is putting up the numbers while Malkin struggles while trying to elevate Crosby's sloppy second wingers (Steeling Sean Avery's favorite words). This post is not meant to be a knock on Malkin, just to point out that hockey is a team game and even great players are easily contained when they are the only talent on the ice.
