Ryan Malone made some media rounds ahead of his charity game this coming Thursday out at the RMU Island Sports Complex. Part of the stories included this tale with his old teammate Matt Murley.

Like every good legend, there are some embellishments. The Islanders only scored two goals and Malone had an even plus/minus, so the player he was supposed to mark couldn’t have scored three goals, but the point stands just the same about a hungover Malone scoring in OT to help the Penguins improve (ha) to a 13-43-5-4 record in a forgettable 2003-04 season.
