Why is it a man who can sign a long term contract in the NHL for over $100 million can't grasp the concept of puck control? With the Devils on the power play and the Kovalchuk controlling the point, he...

With the New Jersey Devils trailing 3-2 and Johan Hedberg on the bench for the extra attacker Ilya Kovalchuk gives Carolina Hurricanes’ goalie Cam Ward a late Christmas gift.
