I wonder how Kovy feels about Ovy now.

Ha! Glad someone pointed that out. And assuming there's no lockout, we'll see those two... I doubt Kovy likes others challenging his "title". (See his comments on Spezza).Foppa_Rules said:Add to that the fact that Ovy and Kovy are going to be in the same division!!
What kind of a title would that be?IlyaK17 said:I doubt Kovy likes others challenging his "title".
Ah, he's a good guy; I don't think he's all that overboard either. Kovalchuk sets high standards for himself and will be supremo pissed if he fails to achieve them. He used to say prudent things, but honestly, he does live up to them.Bobby Orr's Knees said:What kind of a title would that be?

As for his "title", oh I'm sure he'll try to remain one of the hottest young players in the game. However, this is getting off topic (as it is the Alex Ovechkin Thread), so on a last note: I have seen Ovechkin play a dozen times in total and for the past two games vs. Czech, he's been great. Me? I prefer Kovy, not because he is necessarily the better skilled player, but because his fire and pure willpower amazes me.

Is this true?
That's not really accurate. Kovalchuk's team never made it to the RSL, but Kovalchuk was more than good enough to play there.Foppa_Rules said:Kovalchuk never made it to the Superleague at any age and Ovechkin made it at 16..
