Evgeni Malkin is not an All-Star.

Isn't Evgeni Malkin the secret weapon of the Pittsburgh Penguins?

If Pens fans are looking for a nickname for this kid “Secret Weapon” would be more then fitting.

Malkin got a hat trick for the second time in 11 games, this time against the Rangers.

Has anybody else accomplished this feat this season? If so, let me know.

Malkin has secretly led the Penguins in goals with 23 and is in the top 10 in the league in goals.

Apparently Malkin is so secret that he wont be attending the All-Star game.

Instead, Malkin will be sitting at home while currently sitting 13th in league scoring. Gomez, on the other hand, will be going to the All-Star game even though he currently sits 37th in the league in scoring.

You can argue that Malkin is now on a line with Crosby. Well, Gomez has been playing with former Pens great, Jagr since the start of the season.

Why is Malkin not going to this year’s All-Star game?

Will Malkin be one of those quiet superstars, like a Ronny Francis?

If anybody knows why Malkin was overlook for this year’s All-Star game I would really like to know.
