Guest Hoser Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Why is Markov not on the ballot or whatever its called. He's got 17 points in 19 games! The All-Star Balloteers love goals, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushfirerecords Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 probably because he led the team in points last season and win us games in playoffs, don't you think ? this thread is about koivu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firestar Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 this thread is about koivu lol so people who wants to bash kovy in this thread can talk bout him, but people who wants to defend him can't ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigger-1 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 lol so people who wants to bash kovy in this thread can talk bout him, but people who wants to defend him can't ? Because if you remind them of his 65 points in 69 games last year and point to the fact that he's only 20 games into a new season and playing hurt they'll realize they don't know what they're talking about.

Guest Firestar Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 im not bashing kovalev at all i didnt even say anything about him im not speaking about you, I was just answering to habs24 who said : *koivu is getting paid the money because he deserves it, im not sure why kovalev makes what he makes* Which is something I find bad to say considering kovy led our team in points last year and in play off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Kovalev overpaid? Yes I think he is... But owell... Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotrbrtsn Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 If he's overpaid, it's by maybe 500k. People get paid for what they can do in the playoffs as well, when you have proven consistency in the playoffs, you get paid more. Kovalev has been the definition of consistancy in the post-season throughout his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCouragous21 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 The ballot is only for starters anyways so it doesnt matter. If the guys are playing well they will make it on as subs such as possible Saku, Higgy etc. We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigger-1 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I personally don't want any of our players at the all-star game anyway. Chance of injury and not at home resting with their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shamrun Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I just realized that we are going to play against Mikko koivu team, who is koivu brother (which i never knew), apperently he is good in penalty shots, personnaly i have never seen him on ice. http://www.wild.com/team/player.asp?player_id=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100proofevil Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Dont forget Last year , Lemaire and gainey let the Koivu brothers take the opening face-off, mikko wasnt supposed to play on that line but lemaire let him take the face-off anyways After the game Saku mentioned how it was very nice and a class act by the coaches for letting the bros have that little something. Unfortunately lmao, i cant remember who won the face-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCouragous21 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 minny won that game i remeber and i belive miko scored? According to NHL.com Saku beat Miiko on the faceoff. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playbyplay?g...217030&period=1 Yah Minny won in OT but Miiko didnt have any points and went -1 while Saku an asisst and went +2...But Im sure Miiko still has bragging rights since his team won...Its payback time!!

CaptainCouragous21 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Also Saku went about 4-0 v. Miiko in the faceoff circle...I might have missed one or two when I went over the period play by play but he won the faceoff battle...But again Miiko has all the bragging rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovalev has been the definition of consistancy in the post-season throughout his career. Well then Koivu is underpaid cause he is dynamite in both playoffs, regular season and is a leader.

CaptainCouragous21 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 There is no way Saku is overpaid! NO WAY!... The guys is the best captain in the league now and not only does he inspire his team and bring so much to the organization and entire community of Montreal but the guy does perform on the ice... And its no mistake Ryder and Higgy have become great players playing alongside him and how Gui has stepped up playing with him... And we all know what happened last season when he got hurt in the playoffs... The guy brings so much to the table and I can guarentee that if he didnt resign here someone would have paid him more!!!

I agree. Not only that, he commands RESPECT from fans all around the league. Not even the most insane, hard-bitten Leafs fan can really knock Koivu. Not with the heart he has.
