Kovy rumors begin.

[kingsfan28]

The Kings locker room issue is a lack of balls and high levels of estrogen.

Kovalchuk has been the points leader on this team for a good portion of the season, he's the least of my concerns.

Until Willie took over, he was the best forward. Now he cuts his icetime in the 3rd because he doesn't trust him? Nate fricking thompson sees more icetime now!

Giving Thompson more time isn’t the problem, he’s one of the few that plays with effort. Taking that time from Kovalchuk is the stupid part.

yep. the only guy scoring is now on the 4th line playing 13 min a night.

f*** this team for misusing Kovy. And f*** Luc and Blake for letting it happen.

WD: He is an interesting player. He relies totally on offense, he’s not a huge checker. His game revolves around offense. The one thing I do like, he’s excited to play. He wants to play, and when I call his name, it’s not like he mopes and goes out there. He wants to get a chance to play. Whenever he’s called, he’s up, right, ready to go. I’m hoping that’ll carry over and he’ll start scoring. He had a couple chances the other night. It was so unlike him to not get something out of it. He had that one in front that he bobbled a little bit. He just doesn’t do those things. Hopefully he’ll get on fire, and he’s a little bit streaky, and when he gets hot, then he plays well. <<<<<<<<<<

omg. Yes, Kovalchuk is a streaky player....803 NHL points in 803 games. Maybe he can get up to speed and stop being so streaky. WD is a dipshtt

6:20 of ice time tonight so far.

 

[kilowatt]

this team is a f***ing gong show we cant even celebrate the w’s

 

[YP44]

I'd trade him to Washington for their 1st and Burakovsky.

well drr.

I would trade him for a 4th if a team would take 100% of his cap

Had they played better under Stevens, maybe he's still around to give Kovalchuk 20+ minutes a night. Maybe Pearson is still around to score goals.

People wanted change, were desperate to see change, and here's change.

So on pace for 81 to 85 points, what does that get you?

For ice cream

"Kovy smells like cigarettes, Lt. Dan"

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Honestly it was so beyond awkward during last night's feed when they'd cut to Kovy on the bench.

 

[jfont]

benching Kovy would not be beneficial to the Kings in any way.

Likely a young player/high draft pick while retaining salary and taking back a bad contract.

As far as Forbort, I don't imagine his value is very high, maybe a mid-round pick at most.

Ice cream, draft picks, young players, and the 1st born male child in every household

Article in the NYTimes about Kovy in LA..with quotes from him and former teammates

Ilya Kovalchuk’s Return to the N.H.L. Isn’t Going as Planned

He isn't part of the Manhattan beach crowd, he lives in Beverly Hills.

Panarin played with Kovy for 2 yrs in Russia, this is his take on Kovy's workouts

“We would practice before our practice, then stay after our practice,” Panarin said through his interpreter, Vlad Spektor. “After practice, we would skate for another 40 minutes. I went into the locker room afterward, and my teammates said jokingly, ‘That’s enough practice. How much more can you practice?’ Ilya said, ‘The dogs bark, but the caravan moves onward.’”

 

[Reaper45]

If he's really living in Beverly Hills I could see guys not being super chummy with him in the locker room.

 

[ibleedkings]

Kovy gets nothing but praise from current and past players on what a team first player he is. This is bullshit how WD-idiot is treating the situation. Blake should step in immediately and figure this out. It’s turning into a disaster.

Like how do you **** up the only thing going right?

Meh, I'd rather they let Rempal continue to simmer and develop in Ontario

No, we want a new GM.

Probably Amadio sent to Ontario if Rempal's being recalled
