While Putin often comes off as a grouch, he is probably a little preoccupied with the Ukraine and other international matters, while Malkin is a 27-year-old, millionaire celebrity, so its probably hard for him not to have a goofy smile on his face at all times.

Then again, Putin could just be mad he was snubbed by the Russian international squad.
