NEW YORK -- A spacey, self-centered superstar doesn't go where Evgeni Malkin did.
As Kasperi Kapanen backpedals his way up the half-wall in surveying the scene, before sliding the puck up to the right point for John Marino, the spacey, self-centered superstar in this scenario would commonly gravitate toward open ice nearby. He'd make himself available as an alternative, present a prominent target, put himself in position to make the next high-level touch.
And that's doubly the case when the spacey, self-centered superstar's sharing the rink with a grit guy up front, like, oh, say, Brock McGinn.
