He didn't come from nowhere, he came out of Petr Stastny's sack, which is one hell of a pedigree

Stasny is a decent player but he's not half the player that Malkin is. First of all, Malkin is fighting a real culture change that Stasny does not have to worry about. He's still trying to grasp the language. He is being shuttled back and forth between lines and has been playing with a rookie and second year player most of the year. He rarely plays with Crosby, other than the PP. Also he doesn't get shadowed by checkers as do Malkin and Crosby. Malkin gets punished every game. I rarely see Stasny get touched.

If the Avs make the playoffs, nd Malkin and Stasny are close in points, Stasny will take it since his team will owe their playoff berth to Stasny's strong play in the second half. Malkin has obviously helped put the Pens in the position they're in, but I think he's more overshadowed by Crosby than Stasny is by Sakic.

Stupid problem is that the media and fans who get to see Malkin regularly don't get to see Stastny and vice versa. So we're left to compare stats which is a bs way to give these awards.

malkin wins by virtue of more ppl seeing him play.

I agree, Malkin is a big reason for the Pens turnaround, but he's not all they have, they have Ouellet, Malone, J.Staal, Recchi, C.Armstrong and now Roberts, The Avs have Sakic, Wolski, Brunette, sometimes Hejduk and Stastny.

Also, they haven't been eliminated from contention yet, they are really hot right now.

All that being said, I agree that Malkin will win the Calder.
