Confirmed with Link: Ilya Kovalchuk Feigns Retirement to go to KHL, Part II

[ILikeItVeryMuch*]

Jim you were very quiet during the 2012 playoffs, glad to see you made it back.

 

[Bcap88]

Someone got the odds that the devils make the playoffs after kovalchuk retiring. It has to be rediculous. throw a 100 on it. Instant profit. We are going to make the playoffs.

 

[Semak]

I step off a 12 hour flight. Get in the car and the Fan660 ( now FM?) Gives me this bit of shocking news. What the heck happened?

 

[RJK]

wish we had flipped him for seguin

Actually, I wasn't at all...I was at another board that sort of fell by the wayside.

 

[StvBroDan]

But he can't come back next offseason.

How the hell did this quote get attached with my name on it. WRONG

 

[slammer]

He was one of the reasons i became a Devils Fan.
He was so amazing to watch on the Ice.
I was full of hope for a goal when he was out in the Shift.
I can not imagine a NJ Devils without him

So, where is our Franchise Top Forward now, to identify with?
We need a new Star

Thanks to the NHL/NHLPA...because of your stupid lock-out, he came to this conclusion...

 

[Bleedred]

Jim I don't believe you gave us your opinion on this whole situation yet. If you did I'm sorry, I must have missed it!

Hate to say it but you were right.

101.9 FM, to be exact. It's WFAN but with clearer sound.

Excuse the off-topic thing.


Oh and back on-topic : Kovy can go choke on a Ruble.

Condolences, no 1st rounder makes it hurt more. Maybe the team rallies around it?

 

[RJK]

lou has to go get grabo now. we need all the talent we can get

Better squared. Missed the playoffs 2 out of 3 years with him, how could it be worse?

Not exactly. Thanks to ECONOMICS(our state with the highest income taxes you can ever see; our "esteemed" government continously gouging us with their 35% Federal "contributions" we're forced to give yearly), Kovy is gone. Yeah the Escrows weren't helping either but still....

oh....he's also a coward, a loser, and a moron, too.

He's the Kremlin Koward. Or Petersburg Postringer. Whichever you like best.

Going back to the shock I felt reading that tweet from the njdevilspr twitter account. I laughed moments after because I thought it was a hack.

Same. I thought they got hacked and just laughed

 

[JimEIV]

Will beats Skill every time... that is why Mr Softie left for more gentle playing grounds.

 

[RJK]

yeah i had to check it wasn't april 1st.....again

 

[Bleedred]

I thought it was that Mcbain guy trolling again when I first read it.

Correct. New Jersey is not business friendly at all. This really hurts the devils.

How about this :

Top Ten Klingon Insults

1. petaQ
2. You are a honourless coward.
3. Romulan lover
4. Your blood is water!
5. Honorless targ.
6. Old Man
7. Betrayer
8. You Hit like a Ferengi's Grandmother.
9. Ferengi dog
10. Tom Paris look alike



Take your pick.

I saw TG's tweet roll in and was laughing as well.

Sounded like he got hacked. Or one of those "this is not a test" sort of announcements.

Oh for Christ sake nobody knew the Russian would pull this. Not Even Jim

Jim, you can't be serious. Kovy is a lot of things but he was a tough dude. He should have never played in the NYR series or the cup final with his injured back.

I never thought I would experience a betrayal worse than Gomez going to the enemy. I must admit, I have never been more wrong.
