The only difference between Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday is the hashtag because everyone shares old photos or videos on both days and it's always enjoyable to take a walk down memory lane.

Athletes are aware of these social media trends as well and when they participate, it's fun to see what they post from their past.  On Friday, for example, Evgeni Malkin shared an old video of himself and his teammates, and it's pretty obvious which player Malkin is.

Like we said, it's really obvious which one is Malkin because right now, he looks the same as he did as a kid.

Posts like these make Malkin a fan favourite and the fact that he's been so good for so long for the Penguins has helped make that happen, too.
