Not sure if this was posted yet, but NHL Snipers has the NHL Network clip of it on their website: http://www.nhlsnipers.com/ (link brings you right to the video)

at Malkin around 4:28-4:30 and 5:46-6:00 if you can catch that.

Malkin has a really great, funny personality. Hopefully as his English improves, that comes out more. Maybe then, people might consider him in the Crosby/Ovechkin debate... he's still the kind of 'unknown' superstar.

I remember that interview that was posted here (Yahoo) and that was the first time I saw his sense of humor. I'm starting to like this guy more and more as the year goes on

LOL oh Geno, I got a good laugh out of that.

But, why pick 44 for Obama? Am I missing something, isn't that Orpik's number? Or was it just some random number they gave him ... ?

Obama is the 44th U.S. President.

Wow, I actually knew that too.

Nevermind my post then ...

Imagine Malkin or Fleury talking to the President with the accents. My fiance' and sister drool when they talk. They say their accents are cute. I don't see what it is thought.

Because Orpik is rather socialistic like Obama, free candy for everyone!

How is he from San FranSISco, anyways?

BTW, I heard Obama asked Lemieux if he could put an ownership group together to purchase the bankrupt United States much like he did the bankrupt Penguins. Lemieux laughed it off, apparently. I heard the quote was, "Ha, I, and my rich friends, only invest in things that may return a profit! Haha! Or at least in our lifetimes! Hahaha!!".

I notice that even the UFA's that didn't re-sign made the trip to the whitehouse. Interestingly enough though, one of them wasn't Sykora...

Yeah. This made me laugh. Nice job!
