Seriously, the camparison with Malakhov made below doesn't stand up. Kovy has been playing his ass of every night. He always shows up. He plays hard, he skates circles, and look at him sticking his upper body in front of that Poti shot. Sacrificing the body for the play and then playing with the pain.
I can't begin to say how impressed I am with the total turnaround in attitude, team spirit, and work in general. I don't think this is a one-season thing. Like others have commented before me, it's clear that he's repurposed himself, committed himself.
Either way, he is a treat, and I can't blame him for being pissed that the focus is on Ovechkin, rather than the Habs. The Habs don't get much respect: we're below the Leafs loss on the sports page at cbc.ca and not even on the front page at nhl.com- this despite shutting out a streaking, hot, talented team.
