And its not like he doesn't have the skills to back it up, when was the last time you saw a rookie perform like he has, Bure (like everyone compares him to)? Thats over 10 years ago. |
I read something interesting.During this weeks Lightning vs Canadiens game Lecavalier did some razzle dazzle with the puck.Some of the younger
players on the Habs were impressed.This pissed off Kovalev and he gave them shit.The next play Kovalev got the pucked and played keep away in spectacular fashion.He then went to the Lightning bench and told Lecavalier,"This is my rink,my fans,my show and don't you forget it"When I read that in the paper I told myself this is the kind of stuff we need in the new NHL.Rivalry based on skill has been lacking for a while.Props to Kovalev.
