Evgeni Malkin talks about Russians playing the first role in the NHL, hopes that his partners will help him in winning the Art Ross, expails his rivalry with Alexander Ovechkin, and says that now it's his time to win the Art Ross.

...This comes from the blog Alex Ovetjkin, that does a lot of Russian to English translations. Don't miss Geno's line: "On this day, when they eat turkey, we had a team dinner." Haha

Malkin is no doubt deserving of consideration for the Hart Memorial Trophy. He is arguably the best player in the world right now. Malkin is trying to become the fourth Penguin to win the prestigious NHL award: Mario Lemieux (1988, '93, '96), Jaromir Jagr (1999) and Sidney Crosby (2007).

Oh yeah! Update includes last night's post-game and the All-Star competition. A two for one deal here...
