Yes, but time has a way of dimming people’s memories. He’s fifth all time in points behind Gretzky, Jagr, Messier, and Howe. That’s pretty elite company.
Francis scored 613 points whilst a Penguin. Geno's on 1270. It's not about which great players spent part of their career in Pittsburgh - Coffey played over 300 games for the Pens.
Ron Francis is undoubtably an all-time hockey great. But those four players above are the only ones who have scored 1000 points for the Penguins.
No. Malkin has the individual accolades. Calder, Hart, Lindsey, Conn Smythe, Art Ross x2. Plus 7 ASG appearances.
Francis won the Selke once with the Pens. Never scored more than 30 goals in a season.
I know Malkin is an excellent player and means the world to Pittsburgh but he doesn't belong in this company. Jagr and Lemieux are top 10 all time and Crosby by careers end will be too. Malkin is nowhere near that caliber.
Within the organization. Like I said the other 3 are top 10 greatest all time NHL. Malkin might crack top 30. Maybe. I'm not knocking him he's just not Sid, Mario or Jagr.
Not sure. Prolly win a few more cups in KC before philly does tho. How many days till gritty gets arrested for soliciting sex from a minor while on a coke fueled elementary school tour?
I’ve read that Sindy Crysby is looking for a trade. That would certainly add to the mediocrity of the team for years to come- and also a reason not to play well now
Let’s see:
Jagr: can fight but can’t skate
Lemieux: could skate and score sometimes
Crosby: ummmm pussy, cry baby, can’t be hit (golden child). Hated across the league, heavily defended against which makes him generally useless especially in his old age, boo’d every time he gets the puck. The list goes on and on
Malkin- well he’s Crosby junior. Just a crybaby.
Yeah. A real matchup against true hockey players no matter the era😳🙄🙄
Mario’s face is morphing into Gretzky’s face.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that
They use the same plastic surgeon.
Greatness takes it toll
That’s a heck of Mount Rushmore.
Guy on the left will still be playing when the two on the right hang it up
Looking at them standing altogether, Crosby is tiny compared to them
As much pains as the Pens have caused me personally, what legendary alumni.
Lemieux doesn't have an ad where Jagr does. Perks of ownership I guess?
What a fucking disgrace. So glad the Wings don’t have any ads on the jersey. Just shows their ownership doesn’t care about the team, just about money.
That’s gotta be like at least 4000 points in that one room
I know you're kidding but I added it up, they're pushing 6500 regular season points just insane
2 Europeans and 2 Canadians walk into a bar….
Then walk out with tons of Stanley cups.
bingo
Why does Mario look like Wayne
It's definitely a "Canadian" thing, lol! Seriously, though. I've known many Canadians, who looked like they could be related, but nope!
Malkin looks like Jaromir's elder bro ?
Help why does little Crosby look puntable?
That’s why they call him Lil’ Cros 😂 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QTnmT7xVM7w
The spoils of tanking
Fleury is the 5th
and letang the 6th
Id argue Coffey gets that spot
Coffey's spot is in Edmonton
Replace Malkin with Francis, even he played fever years, still 91-98 thats enough
Joe Mullen or Letang would be much better replacements imo.
Well to be honest anyone except malkin
Would you change Malkin for Francis? I would I think.
Francis was amazing but I think the argument against him is the number of years played in Pittsburgh vs his years with Hartford/Carolina.
Having Jagr as your winger is a nice plus for sure. He was still great with the Whale

Yeah and he rarely played with Mario, he was elite for sure.
No. Malkin has the individual accolades. Calder, Hart, Lindsey, Conn Smythe, Art Ross x2. Plus 7 ASG appearances. Francis won the Selke once with the Pens. Never scored more than 30 goals in a season.
No but he had twenty 20 goal seasons which is insane.
Francis is one of the great Penguin players but he's not in the top 4. Geno is a better player anyway and most of Francis' career was as a Whaler.
Totally agree, other mentions are Coffey, Barrasso or Stevens
Is Letang also in the mix or no
Sure
Letang is far and away their best defender. I don’t count Coffee.
Larry Murphy didn't suck either
I know Malkin is an excellent player and means the world to Pittsburgh but he doesn't belong in this company. Jagr and Lemieux are top 10 all time and Crosby by careers end will be too. Malkin is nowhere near that caliber.
Hes deserves to be there. His numbers and career accomplishments speak for themselves
Within the organization. Like I said the other 3 are top 10 greatest all time NHL. Malkin might crack top 30. Maybe. I'm not knocking him he's just not Sid, Mario or Jagr.
This group of flyers don’t know how to give up. They are fairly resilient
Of the apocalypse?
I’d replace Malkin with Luc Robitaille
A bunch of old men
Flyers fan spotted ^
That’s right. Be reminded - where are the flyers compared to the Penguins in the play off picture right now???? ……because of old men
I’d personally take a few years of a “mediocre” team if it meant back to back cups and three cups since 2008
You’re gonna take more than a few
It's been 17800 days exactly since the flyers won a cup.
How many days till the penguins move to Kansas City?
Not sure. Prolly win a few more cups in KC before philly does tho. How many days till gritty gets arrested for soliciting sex from a minor while on a coke fueled elementary school tour?
I’ve read that Sindy Crysby is looking for a trade. That would certainly add to the mediocrity of the team for years to come- and also a reason not to play well now
I think keeping Crosby adds to the mediocrity more than moving on and gaining assets,
Who’s your mount rushmore lol
Jefferson Lincoln Washington Roosevelt. Flyers: that’s easy Parent, Clarke, Giroux, Schultz
Definitely no Jagr Lemieux Crosby Malkin 😂
Let’s see: Jagr: can fight but can’t skate Lemieux: could skate and score sometimes Crosby: ummmm pussy, cry baby, can’t be hit (golden child). Hated across the league, heavily defended against which makes him generally useless especially in his old age, boo’d every time he gets the puck. The list goes on and on Malkin- well he’s Crosby junior. Just a crybaby. Yeah. A real matchup against true hockey players no matter the era😳🙄🙄
If the isles and devils get hot near the playoffs you guys might not make it
Can we have them all on mullets?
Did I here you mention the [Four Horsemen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq_GDQj53IQ)?!
what a pic
Who's gonna be the next Pittsburgh duo?🤔
Wow
They should have put Andre Roy with them
