I remember the game in Calgary where the Devils were on the powerplay and Kovalchuk coughed up the puck to give a Flames player a breakaway and Kovalchuk just gave a "whatever" wave and skated to the bench. It was possible that he could have caught the Flame and broke up the play. That kind of attitude spoke volumes about his commitment to competing. He was probably only in North America for the money. Now that he can get big coin in mother Russia, why not go back? Not cool.
