The Hockey Writers: Evgeni Malkin Rising: Penguins’ Center Outclassing Crosby’s 2010-11 Run? dlvr.it/15ySK6

The article above points out some details that you could use to argue that either player had a better run. Sid's run included more points than Geno's, but Malkin also missed 7 games this year. In fact, of the 49 top scorers in the league, Malkin's 38 games played is the fewest (Conley, para. 19). Who knows what Malkin could have done for the Pens during those 7 games. As an overall player, I think Malkin is better. He's just been screened by a flashier (and probably better looking) Sidney Crosby.
