Bylsma vists Malkin in Russia

[X-Terminator]

Thought this part was pretty cool:

The highlight of the trip occurred when Malkin took Bylsma on his yearly visit with the “Penguins Support Crew” – a Russian Penguins fan club which has existed since the 1990s.

Because Malkin is among the top Russian hockey players in the world, it probably comes as little surprise that his annual dinner with the Penguins Support Crew is met with great anticipation. But this year Malkin took a bit of a back seat as the fan club was delighted at the opportunity to meet and talk with Bylsma.

That's pretty cool!

I checked out the pics though and noticed Geno is going for the faux-hawk. :chuckle:

Your boy Tanger has a new look also.

He's been spending some time doing runway modeling.

I think I've lost a bit of respect for him because of it. :chuckle:

Oh jesus that's horrible. :rofl:

I don't care...that's what paper bags are for right?

Let's just hope Sid doesn't go for the Beiber look like Brady did.

Amen girl! :sofunny:

Actually Brady came instantly to mind when I saw the pics of Tanger walking the runway. And all the stupid pics that have come out during his football career when he made love with the camera and himself - and a goat.

Athletes shouldn't go the "look at me" modeling route.

And Tanger is a hockey player! :doh2:

Be a man and leave the modeling to women that walk like idiots down the runway.

(Seriously, why do they walk like that??)

Geno also has been spending time at Russian orphanages.

Great player, and great person!

Wow Geno what a great player and better person, just great to see him putting his time, effort, and money into something productive and helpful.
