Markov is without question the best player the Habs have iced in the past decade.
Well I don't know if "the best player" is the right word. He's the most consistently good player we've iced, he's been exactly what the team has needed year after year, he's made players around him better, but I don't know if best is the right word.
I'm not a big fan of Kovalev but in 07-08 he was on fire, everything he did was great, he had an all-star season.
Anyway, I'm very happy for Markov. He's playing so well and this shortened season is perfect for him. He's a really hard worker and at 34 he's managed to come back as good as he was 3 or 4 years ago. I hope he winds up his career in MTL.
