Sur le site JewOrNotJew.com, on peut lire que «one of the most popular searches for people accessing our site is for Evgeni Malkin».

Voici un extrait :

«It's hard to say, and maybe that's why the search is so popular. On the one hand, the Russian Jewish press has embraced him as one of their own. "Malkin" is definitely a Jewish name, so there is likely some Jewish blood in him.

«On the other hand, he crosses himself.

«See, that about settles it and makes it impossible to move above the "Barely a Jew" verdict. If Malkin didn't cross himself, we'd take his assumed Judaism and run with it, commenting how glad we'd be if he took teammate Sidney Crosby into the fold. But... he crosses himself.»

Le verdict final ? Barely a Jew. Ben coudonc.
