wasnt it 3 or 4 non russians? i mean i dunno, but i couldve sworn it was that. i bet the khls rulebook was deisgned half watching the nhl and the other half a room full of 6 year olds playing telephone.

Alexei Kasatonov is GM of SKA?

Kovy is about to outscore the entire KHL while playing less games and Tarasenko is blowing things up as a rookie, as well.

Throw Crosby in the middle... if they managed to find chemistry, what do you think the average gpg would be for that line?

And how big is that "if" ?

How about that, the more you know. According to the internet, that's true.

I know he stayed in NJ for his kid(s), so I assume at this point they are out of school or in college at the least...

Tarasenko is exactly what New Jersey needs, too. Bah.

Kovy + Crosby potential? Christ.

Kovy-Crosby-Tarasenko

Good Lord, that would be crazy. They're already on a ridiculous winning record with just Kovy, with Crosby too they'd be unstoppable.

[Bleedred]

Please no shootout. Last time they had a shootout they made Kovy shoot four times. He scored only on his first shot. After that a big debate occurred about how Kovy's shootout skills are closer to his 25 percent he put up prior to this last season. In reality though if they didn't make the same guy shoot more than once, the way the NHL does it, then Kovy would have been 1 for 1.

[Richer's Ghost]

haha abo's avy

[Bleedred]

Looks like they lost 4-2. One Kovy goal, one Kovy assist.

[Nick0930]

0-2 since he decided to talk about the lockout. Karma.

[Bleedred]

Haha remember when Kovy said SKA has 4 equal lines so they'll be okay if he gets the call to come back to play in the NHL when the lockout ends? I wonder if he thought the Devils had 4 equal lines when we were rolling Boulton-Mills-Sestito. Or better yet Boulton-Mills-Janssen!

[Basement Cat]

Is there anywhere that I can watch the highlights of all of Kovys games?

Yeah, realy lol. It looks like they have 4 equal lines, but only Kovy and Tarasenko score.

Remember when he said something about helping NJ teammates score goals whether it was Elias or Cam Janssen and we were all like "No, Kovy....Just....No."




So you're right. He does say "a lot of things".

Haha I do remember when he said that! It was either Patty or Zach, but he said helping teammates score whether it was Patty/Zach or Cam Janssen haha.

[Saugus]

He passed the puck with an empty net so that Rolston could get his milestone point. Good guy Kovy.

[åboriginal]

kovi is cure for cancer. or at least a cold.

[VaxjoDevil]

This is great hockey to watch. How can people say KHL sucks?

[VaxjoDevil]

Laine with the winner in the last seconds of OT. What a finish, and the crowd is freakin loud as hell.

[åboriginal]

i have no issues with the khl. the games ive watched have had great crowds, pace and plenty of grit. its not the nhl of course, but after 5 mins, i barely notice. plus watching kovi running train is amusing.
