Evgeni Malkin Talks About Flyers Fans Throwing Popcorn At Him

[@craftygnome97]

"Ya know. I'm Score."

[@brookelyn33]

Fylers fans are classless much like most of the players they have on their team. I was visiting a friend in Philly last season and we went to a game and got stuff thrown at us yelled obscenities at for being in Pens gear. My parents have had season tickets for the Pens since I was a little girl and all of the games I have been to I have NEVER once seen a Pens fan treating a Flyers fan or any other fan for that matter like we were treated in Philly.

[@MigthyDucksz24]

Really? Thats to bad:( Well im from sweden and a ducks fan so i dont know much about the flyers but that sounds awful! Oh well, Pens is better team anyway;)

[@poopmcscoopface]

Arne Weise all fans for any philladelpihia team is like, tough city tough people

[@_d.v.j.l_2624]

Yea fucking hate the penguins

[@OvertakeSV]

Its called being passionate. Pens fans wouldn't know because 90% of them are bandwagon

[@JHHBeck]

OvertakeSV , there's a difference between being passionate and acting like a knuckle-dragging buffoon.

[@MichaelMosesHammer]

he looks very tired. shows how hard these guys play.

[@phantomdrummer]

when I was younger living just outside of Philly, but being a DIE HARD pens fan, I know what it's like. Even when the pens lose it 18,000 people all doing the Nelson "Ha-haa" to you and when the pens win it's fight time. Thank God there is a large concentration of pens fans at each game.

[@QuebecQueen]

Ahh, his accent is soo hot. 😍🔥❤️

[@j_streussnig1162]

Malkin is a boss

[@koryhodge4952]

I think it’s Philadelphia fans It’s not good when it’s popcarn hits my head...man you have to love this guy and his team.

[@ridebmx24seven]

First of all... I'm a leaf fan. Yeah, ouch. But all of I have to say Malkin is the man. Good on him for doing his best in that interview and, despite his injuries recently, he's still a force to reckoned with. I hope he fully recovers and rips the league up again. I've made more money off him on proline than any other player or team, that's how good he is.

[@justingarman]

@ridebmx24seven just came acrossed your comment, and as a Pens fan, thank you.. and he is tearing the league up, right now!!

[@lucysnow1851]

I would love to speak his language for sure! :) Definitely my favorite player in the NHL. With those long legs he can start in his own end and score a goal in seconds, I'm remembering his goal from Game 3 against the 'Canes!

[@Madaquamoon]

you go Geno. he is doing soo well with his english. everyone who is making fun of him have no class. how would you feel if you were him.? its so hard for him and you can see it on his face how fusteraded he is. dont worry geno. we all love you and are all proud of you. keep it up. GO MALKIN>333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AaronAzimov]

Very well-said, I thought their fans leaving like that was pretty embarrassing, and as Philly was being put out of the playoffs last night a lot of their "fans" didn't even stay to salute them in their last game. Pretty sad.

[@jizzyjful]

im a philly fan but if there one pen i respect its malkin. i feel bad for the guy though because i think hes really insecure over in the us because of his english. just a thought i had. carry on

[@ambigroove]

All russians sould like the are speaking russian all the time.

[@xkillingxtime]

oh yeah? when did he say that?

[@Hockeyevan9992]

When did you become a penguins fan. I'm just curious. Was it like around 2005? 2006? This year? I can guarantee it is one of those 3. But it's cool, I'm not really gonna take anything to heart that's said by a guy name "rmpimpin"

[@alouette87]

look at all those microphones... oh god, it must be very hard for Geno to talk with all those TV people.

[@bosmmanie]

poor guy is so nervous talking english ahahah

[@DouglasMikelas]

everytime its popcorn... its my head... its not good. haha that was a funny moment I love malkin

[@OwlEyes85]

Flyers wore sled riding pants before, i'lll never get that picture out of my head, LOL.

[@lts_Paradise]

I would just be standing on the ice with my mouth open and just eat the pop corn! Lol

[@MrsPaul]

I

[@p1ippers]

out of all the places to watch a game ,phili would be on the top of my list, followed closely by montreal, ny

[@XxMcFlysLilyxX]

i'm not a penguins fan at all... but i really respect Malkin. he has so much talent and he seems like a great guy off the ice. as an outsider to the philly/pitts rivalry....it seems like philly fans are some of the worst i've seen....chicago fans are pretty disrespectful, too.

[@hyruleman222]

Was it me or did malkin not talk any thing about popcorn?????

[@nichonr95]

Good fans isn't booing when your losing and cheering when your winning. good fans cheer when you are losing and cheer even louder when you're winning!!

[@pghkid17]

It's good...... or it's not good... Malkin is the man

[@Vanessa_Roscoe]

OMGEE i LOVE HOW HE SAYS POPCORN(: AHH I LOVE GENOO(:

[@mclovintheflyers]

Very well spoken. It shows when philly had over 1 million 700,000 MORE fans show up to their parade than pitts parade

[@CanucksxDream]

@StoryBookMaker ..... and how is it that Canucks fans and Flyers fans are bandwagoners????

[@AaronAzimov]

It's sadly ironic that I misspelled the word while trying to correct someone else I agree lol. At least my spelling mistake was actually a mistake (made evident by the fact I spelled the word correctly in the very next sentence) and not because I actually believed it to be spelled that way, though.

[@whiskeyrockaroller96]

He started to speak Russian for a second. lol

[@adambilbey95]

Is he saying that the popcorn hurts his head??

[@xkillingxtime]

i'm sure that they knew they had a team when lemieux was on their team, i think he was pretty big

[@hezekiaB]

He's not speaking too bad at all. Some of these hockey players who grew up with English can barely speak it properly... and this is from a Flyers fan!

[@josiahbell2441]

Imagine how hard this is for him

[@clwgirl510]

I do believe it was Philly fans I saw leaving at the beginning of the third period when the Pens beat them 10-3... THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD!!! Also I have been a Pens fan before anyone knew Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, or Staal existed. Also, last place? I do believe it was the Flyers who won their last cup in 70s and have only won two at that! Penguins have won three, their last being in 09!

[@AaronAzimov]

I know. I know. I know. enough people have corrected me on this. I too see the irony in my spelling the word incorrectly while trying to correct someone else. You may have noticed I spelled the word correctly in literally the very next sentence though so whatever lead you, and the others, to believe I needed to be told the correct spelling is beyond me.

[@saa2709]

guys, I am russian too, as a Gino, ofcourse am not so famous, but to say that his English is bad isn't right, try to learn Russian or any other language, it doesnt matter and only then u can judge him or anyone other.

[@NYYbronx28]

woah... you people need to get off Evgeni's back. SO WHAT he doesn't have the BEST english? Is that REALLY his fault? No. Does that really make him suck? Or a player you shouldn't give respect to? I give him SO much respect, because he tries, and he's a great person. I love him, and I think he's an amazing hockey player. Leave me the frig alone! (plus - he's not ugly at all.)

[@YhTbTm]

Okay...Huge Flyers fan here, but I have good stuff to say!! Okay...well I can honestly say that our fan base isn't the best, but we love our team and were fruit to support them and it just might come out as we hate all of you and were the best!! But I don't feel that way! I can't say I like the Penguins because they are our rivals that's just crazy if I did!! But I can't say they're not a good team because they are!! I don't like Crosby like any other Flyers fan, but I can say he is an excellen

[@ckyownz9]

i want to apologize about of our abundance of classless eagles fans dressed up in flyers jerseys true hockey fans in philly arent like that srry malkin

[@Owdawg247]

@stupenr actually you have a goalie on your team that does the same things WTF

[@bmdrose]

Aww! He's so adorable. I love Malkin.

[@iluvMalkin]

i love malkin! he is so cute. his english is getting better too :)

[@jlgxxactionitem]

lmao i kinda feel bad cuz you can tell he is trying so hard to speak english...its adorable!!

[@evakoch23]

Hey bud crosby still has his whole career ahead of him and even when he does retire we have tons of young players just waiting to step up. And who is in last place right now?

[@IcedEarth1792]

for being in russia and speaking russian his whole life, his english is actually really good for first timing like this "Everytime Its Popcorn on Head" ahaha Im originally a huge Flyers fan, but I like the pens too ONLY cause of Malkin, not a big fan of Crosby

[@GreenBaldrick]

@chvyant don't be an egghead,pleeease.People are DIFFERENT,you know. I think that Geno,his shyness and his "oh,my God" English is ADORABLE=)

[@CheAtBoy112233]

Its annoying that our flyers fans are saying this yet we have a russian goalie that speaks the same way lol

[@jamiepats787]

Just like the Flyers went 4-1 right? :)

[@Russiavsall]

Im laughing when i heard how Malkin and Datsyuk speak english:D

[@M26MASH]

I am glad that Philly gets him thinking.........We (as Phila.) fans shouldnt be "abusive" but you shouldnt be welcoming (unless you are Gretzky....the dude was a show stoppa). Phila. is a tough town, why do you think the British lost?

[@PTpredsfan]

His English isn't great but it makes him really honest.

[@sm0keyMcP0t420]

true, but how far are you really gonna go in the playoffs after facing philly and they take cheapshots 6 or 7 games straight...philly underestimated NJ, no way they played as physical against NJ as they did against PIT. plus philly was banged up after that series with the penguins

[@thedolphin1985]

AMEN sister!!

[@Texfan57]

Save the popcorn for Fagsby! Cudos on Broad Street Flyers! History is now your story! Cinderella lives...and she's tradiing the ball for the Stanley Cup Finals! And Leighton... give em and orange cape and call em Superman! You guys have a hero between the pipes! Smile on your brother in 'The City Of Brotherly Love' b/c Flyer nation is in control of it's own destiny now! Good luck Flyers faithful from a diehard and rabid Buffalo fan you have my support! TAKE THE WHOLE DAMN THING!

[@MrsPaul]

@theurbansoul Really. I took a semester of Russian in college. Learning the alphabet was the EASY part. (And no, I don't speak it -- a semester certainly was NOT enough to learn more than the basics.)

[@mercedes-amgenthusiat1915]

he sounds like hes speaking russian all that time

[@wintersnowstorm9]

i really pisses me off that we english speakers feel so mighty that we feel the need for everyone around us to speak perfect english. Russian is his native tongue, and the fact that he continues to learn english everyday seems to do nothing for you guys? English is hard to learn, be proud that so many people take the time to learn it, and compliment people on what they do know. Don't bring them down because of what they don't.

[@ThePENNY1999]

im a red wings fan.. and all i can say about him is DAMMM!!! but in a good way! he is a great player!

[@lanee3839]

Lmao, I feel bad for him because he seems like he's being serious, but it's so funny.

[@himothyjah]

nah, just the most passionate alongside detroit (period)

[@hayleydupree]

if those reporters gave him any less room he'd be in adams' locker. go malkin-hope yo foot gets better : )

[@Pensfan5587]

Geno, lmao too funny!!!

[@kevin15360]

@spsawyer22 So what you're saying is Pens fans only showed up during the Mario and Crosby eras? Penguins fans are awful, you can not even compare them to Flyers fans.

[@Hidepride]

@mirzayanov1 I dont think he CAN say that... can he?

[@CatieCass]

Watching this interview makes me an even bigger Philly fan. Haha Crosby and Malkin bring it on themselves.

[@DeckedKey86]

This comment is 10 years old and it has no likes lmao. Shows how stupid you are.

[@Boomdawg96]

Funny how Sloth from The Goonies talks about how "not goood" Flyers fans are compared to "good" Caps fans when the Penguins and Capitals have the highest number of bandwagon fans on the planet. Where were the Cap fans before Ovie? Where the Penguins fans before Crosby and Malkin? Exactly.

[@bluesloose2606]

Funny how since you wrote this the flyers haven’t made back to back playoffs

[@Hockeyevan9992]

There are a few rambunctious pens fans in Pittsburgh too, trust me. And Flyers fans aren't all drunk douchebags who throw shit and all that. There are simply a larger amount of them than Penguins fans. I mean, let's face it, if one city has over 700,000 more inhabitants, don't you think you will encounter more drunk fans?

[@ИванБычков-ш1б]

12 лет? Ого

[@usteeler81]

@Portis1Luv Yeah I'm tryin' to learn Russian to get in touch with my paternal heritage.

[@thekillers1stfan]

Obviously Philly is dirty but the Penguins should have just pulled through with their skill like New Jersey did, then they might've actually won

[@TenjiBenji]

i fink id flip if i had just finished a game n all the press r in the dressin room...allow dat man give geno sum room!!!

[@xkillingxtime]

yes it's called rivalry… Why the hell you you like your rival? Giroux complained about pens fans so what's the difference?

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

@ox387 its even worse as a Flyers fan being at a game and some douche starts a crosby sucks chant right after crosby scores or isnt even on the ice. id much rather yell for my team than against one guy from the other. oh well, the league has been just short of terrible ever since the lockout any way. the inconsistancy of calls and the players taking advantage of the rules Lemeuix fought for is frustrating. its gotta be bad when i sometimes get annoyed at our own PP call.

[@xXxsIckICkxXx]

@Denis543 whoa man! that shit was insane! i only learned those sentences in french 1 and spanish 1 back in 8th grade rofl

[@Hockeyevan9992]

It's ok. The penguins do have fans. It's a shame that 75% of them are 14 year old girls that think Crosby is hot. But I digress. At least now they have fans. Based on some of the other "fans'" logic, if a team sucks, they don't have fans. The Flyers were the worst team in the league in 06-07, and sold out nearly every home game. People only see the drunk college fans in Philly and think that's what a typical Philly fan is.

[@LFC54Flyers]

We aren't good fans for Pittsburg! But we are amazing phans for our broad street bullies.

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

@ox387 honestly, i would pick another team if we got crosby but that would never happen so yes, who cares?.. but i still hate the crosby sucks chant...

[@conns84]

95% off Penguins fans are Bandwagon jumpers

[@Jeromeo87]

@theurbansoul Can't stand the Penguins, but come on guys.. English is one of the HARDEST languages to learn. I actually think he sounds pretty good. Other players like Semin don't even try to learn it.

[@Potat0zilla]

@LetsGoFlyers2011 I always felt the same way when Jagr would come back to Pittsburgh and the arena would chant Jagr sucks. It's like STFU, the dude helped us win two Stanley Cups. I can't stand that crap. Cheer your team on, instead of targeting one guy. "Oh Jagr said this and this about our city, blah blah blah." Seriously, who gives a crap? It's his opinion, let him have it.

[@stryker1707]

so are the capital fans...

[@AaronAzimov]

It's ironic that you complain about a lack of arguments from our side when the only half assed attempt at a reply you can make a month later is in regards to my very first sentence. Ignore everything factual that I've said and focus on the one brief insult, and counter it with some garbage that wouldn't pass for bathroom graffiti. I wish you were joking. I really do.

[@fastandfurioustokyo]

i think if malkin plays for the flyer they would not even think about throwing popcorn at him but anyway malkin is the best and so as croby yes i am talkin about the 2 headed monsters they are the best yeah yeah

[@alpete47]

NOOOO not popcorn.. Popcorn really hurts.. Waaaaa Waaaa

[@thekillers1stfan]

if by stood up, you mean get all pissy about losing and start to crosscheck people in the throat then yea they stood up to them

[@sidcro8771]

actually, there were. so if you dont understand what you're talking about, please dont say ANYTHING at all. :) thanks love!

[@redwingz1998]

@theurbansoul that is true i can barely speak english well lol

[@smashasriot]

@NYYbronx28 I for one love his broken English. It's cute.

[@gravino555]

i dont like pittsburgh but i still think that wasnt a smart comment

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

@jimmofosty can you read? try again, this time though, read every word and not just "hate" and "crosby". and what does this mean? "you beat u after a 12 game winning streak"...

[@Boomdawg96]

Just like the Penguins lost 4-2 right? :)

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

@jimmofosty really? you cant win without staal? whos crying? not being able to win while missing one guy doesnt say much for your team, but, by that logic i guess you only have one playoff run you can "say much" about considering we were missing Timonen in your run 3 years ago who pretty much was our most valued player during those playoffs. for the record though, I HATE the crosby sucks chant. the only time we should use it is when he draws a penalty on one of his Oscar winning dives...

[@hyruleman222]

Oh never mind , I heard it.

[@spsawyer22]

@billyclo What an ignorant comment. I was tempted not to respond, mostly because a rational argument would most likely be too hard for you to understand. Fans never put the team on the brink of bankruptcy, check your facts. Penguins had similar attendance figures as the Flyers all throughout the 80s and 90s. It was an amazingly short-sighted owner who spent money like monopoly dollars and bankrupted himself and the team. And Mario used smart business to leverage the city. Get a clue.

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

@jikertjikert cmon man.. how does crosby stand up for himself or his team (pertaining to fighting) when he has started every fight hes been in off a face of fwith the weakest unsuspecting player on the ice. except when hes jumpin a guy from behind. ill stop chirpin when he stops goin down in the slot so much..lemeuix retired because of all the clutching a grabbing and crosby still takes advantage of the new rules by falling twice as much as lemeuix ever did while being mugged.

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

@ox387 wow, you seem to know alot about Flyers fans... in all aspects of life... when did the video point that out, honestly I couldnt understand a word of it... your not still mad about opening night are you? no, I guess its the end of your whining streak and bump down to 2nd eh?

[@clwgirl510]

Russia has some good players. Like Malkin and Ovechkin. However they don't have hte best players. They didn't even medal in the 2010 or 2006 Olympics... Canada has the best players and then the USA and then Sweden.
