I thought Kovalev play selfish unspired hockey the last two games, however... I retract everything bad Ive said about Kovalev. He was a true captain, and I am proud of his patriotism and commitment.
Sorry Kovalev, I didnt know, thanks for your service!

-Is it true that many leaders of the national team played with serious injuries in Turin?
Krikunov (Russia's coach): Nabokov and Gonchar had groin problems. Datsyuk had a broken finger. Kovalev went out on the ice with an injury so severe, a player in the RSL wouldn't have even entered the dressing room. This is on top of those who were forced to pull out of the tournament.
