Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today.
Evgeni Malkin has become a dissident & disappeared from his Russian hockey team & nobody knows where he his - except Mr. Lemieux. He's coming to Pittsburg & see him in the NHL in 2006-7. Pittsburg a team to be reckoned with this year.

So, Malky has pulled a Mogilny, has he? I haven't been this excited about a defection since Miroslav Ihnacak.
The Penguins should be a great deal better than they were last season, but don't go etching Evgeni's name in Lord Stanley's Mug just yet. Much like the awful Penguin teams in Mario's early years, there's going to be some growing pains before the Pens are true contenders. Still, they have young blue chippers, something my beloved Leafs so dearly lack.
