Is Evgeni Malkin the epitome of a dirtbag?

He can be dirty. It says a lot that the main line of defence (as seen in some answers above) is "Matt Cooke is worse", and the lame tu quoque logical fallacy of pointing out that the Flyers are known as dirty.

At least nobody's used the usual defence for Malkin/Crosby: "It just shows that he's passionate and cares a lot about winning".

I think the Philadelphia Flyers are the epitome of ****, i mean horrible fans, horrible jerseys, horrible on ice product, just pathetic, on top of that the lowly Flyers get swept by their eternal owners the Boston Bruins, who stomped their authority all over the Philadelphia area. Best thing to come out of Philly is the cheese steak but other than that and your musical chairs goaltending nothing to be proud of in Philly, nothing but failure for decades at a time. Poor you.

This list pales in comparison to Pronger's.... just sayin

I think Malkin somehow skipped having a bad reputation, so for some reason he is always overlooked. I don't think he is dirty, but he sometimes gets away with stuff he shouldn't for whatever reason

One incident makes him the "epitome of a dirtbag"?

So you don't take into account the others who have done worse such as Matt Cooke, Chris Neil, Chris Pronger, Todd Bertuzzi, Zdeno Chara, Steve Downie, ect. only because they have never attempted to take off the head of Claude Giroux or in Prongers case any ex-Flyer?

I am not buying it.

I watched the first two links and they were against flyers players.

Oh, team biases...

Oh, poor Philly fans...

Do you have anything else to do except complaining about the Pens???

Hahaha you are the epitome of the bad reputation Philly fans get

You want to know what derty is when machinehead is hitting on a 15z year old

*Joke about someone from Philly complaining about "dirtbags"*
