Pittsburgh Penguins forward and future Hall of Famer Evgeni Malkin has been assessed a 5 minute Major and a Game Misconduct for an absolutely crazy two-handed chop to the head of Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin.

Check it out:

Holy moly!

This looks like no accident to me. This looks 100% intentional from Malkin and I wouldn't be surprised if there's supplemental discipline from NHL Player Safety for this infraction. What an absolutely bone-headed, selfish play from one of the game's all-time greats.

What on Earth is Geno thinking here???
