“I feel like I’m ending my career today. Everyone around me is congratulating me, introducing me, a lot of good times, they’re showing me on TV. It’s like I have Been somewhere for a long time, and now I’m back.
But I will say that the most interesting has only just begun. And every year you appreciate your access to ice more and more. Because you understand – there is still more to play, maybe not so much. In our life now, everything is so ambiguous.
Therefore, you especially remember those times. Record, take photos. And thank you to the players, thank you to the entire Pittsburgh organization. Many good surprises. It was also in Chicago, where I played the thousandth game. And now it’s against Calgary, which is already game number 1001. It’s also very important that we won the last two games.
Thank God it’s all over. I have been crying, getting nervous and worried over the past three days. But these are tears of joy. And many pleasant moments will forever be remembered. I have no words, what a wonderful organization we have,” Malkin told .
