Apparently, he has told Russian newspapers that the Slovaks are no good. Today, Russia will take on Slovakia at 2:00 eastern. I don't have a link to the actual comment, but according to the commentary during the Czech-Germany game, Kovalchuk has told Russian papers:
The Slovakian goalies aren't up to standard. They should be a trump card for us
Jeez. Maybe he should just go ahead and call his shot. Point to the left field bleachers.
The last time I checked, Yvgeni Nabokov is having a less than stellar season. Khabibulin is hurt. The other netminder for Russia, Ilya Bryzgalov, certainly isn't capable of carrying the load. So the Russians aren't looking rock solid in net.
Anyway, I'm hoping that the Russians get shut out today, just to teach Kovalchuk a lesson about running his stupid mouth.
