Some hockey people said last year when he was traded to New Jersey that it was the square peg/round hole situation. Well he's going to be there for a long time, they need to figure out how to make Kovalchuk into a round peg.

I think it's more likely that they will have to make the round hole a square.

and you think people went nuts when fro was benched last year...

rcc, can you do a what they are saying for NJ tonight? ;-)

Knowing how quickly Lou fires coaches, Johnny Mac better watch his back. This makes no sense, healthy scratching one of your gate attractions at home is a sure way to piss off the paying customers.

Well for as long as Lamoriello is in charge, it's going to be making Kovy into a round peg.

They better let him play when the Devils come to staples. I take back my earlier vote to Boo him, now I say we all lol every time he gets on the ice.

Is their problems in devils town. Kovy may not play today against the ramgers.
Fire & Ice

What the hell?

I thought his contract would destroy them, I just figured it might take a little more than a few weeks into the season.

Thank you, THANK YOU, Dean, for not folding and giving this clown an obscene amount of money and destroying the team.

Thank you for building our beloved Kings the right way and filling the roster with the right people.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

It's gotta be one of three things.

A. Maclean and Kovy aren't seeing eye to eye (including Kovy missing practice, being late, etc.).
B. The team and Kovy aren't seeing eye to eye.
C. Kovy is playing REALLY poorly.

My guess is that it's A or B.

Fans over at HFboards keep mentioning a trade to LA is imminent. I highly doubt this and would hate to ride that emotional roller coaster all over again.
