Brayden Schenn got Kovalchuked
Ilya Kovalchuk has had an underwhelming year thus far, blatantly disobeying his coach by staying on the ice longer than he should, and failing to live up to his lofty contract but that didn't stop him from stepping up for his teammate Saturday after Zac Rinaldo gave Zach Parise an after-the-whistle slew-foot. The two teams exchanged some hugs before Kovalchuk jumped in and decided...

New Jersey Devils’ Star Ilya Kovalchuk is Worth Every Penny
It's come to a point where I've grown sick and tired of so-called New Jersey Devils fans pointing fingers, blaming and just plain bashing Ilya Kovalchuk and I just had to say something.
It's easy to point out the mistakes. The bad passes and poorly timed turn-overs. It's hard to look past the minus 36 rating over the last two seasons. These are things fans dwell on and...

Stopped me if you’ve heard this one before, Ilya Kovalchuk isn’t worth the money we pay him. Hell, he might not even be worth the money we pay Adam Henrique at this point. 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 was...
