From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review today:Penguins star Evgeni Malkin granted the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review an exclusive 15-minute interview in English on Tuesday. Here is an excerpt:
TR: How are you different today than when you arrived in Pittsburgh in 2006 as a 20-year-old from Russia?
EM: It's not too much different. I feel comfortable now in my career. My English is a little bit better. Everything is going good.
Now I understand how to play in the NHL. The first year was hard. The second was only good. Now, it's a little bit easy — the hockey. (Laughs) Maybe I shouldn't say that.
TR: The North American hockey media often refers to you as "shy" and "uncomfortable." Does that bother you?
EM: I don't care if people think that way. I care what my teammates (think). I care about playing hockey, helping the Penguins win.
TR: Do you wish people would speak to you more often in English, maybe get to know you better?
EM: Yeah. (Laughs) But not like with Sid.
