Evgeni Malkin suffers torn ACL and MCL vs Sabres

Pretty sure that lady by Kunitz is crying. I don't blame her.

Well, most of us pretty much feared the worst, except for ESPN but I digress, when Malkin went down after the hit by Myers in the opening minutes of the 2nd period. The Pens have been driving without Malkin, but to get him back only to have him quickly and painfully taken away from the team? No one would of expected that, a bit of a scoring slump for a game or so but not a possibly season ending injury. This is definitely long term IR and it could be career altering in the future after rehab.

Thank god Dustin Jeffrey is still getting lucky bounces and producing. 2 goals against the Sabres already.The kid is filling in very nicely for us and will obviously be long term now that the Penguins have lost Malkin and Letestu at center.
