I am not surprised at all by Kovalchuks output this year. I always thought he was the most talented goal scorer in the game and with the new rules he is unstoppable. I think he has the best combination of shooting power and accuracy in the league and he is a pretty good skater also. Also it should be noted that he missed games early on in the season because of an contract holdout and took some more games to get into the flow of the game again.
I watched the game with Crosby and he did take a cheap shot at Crosby but also got Crosby off of his game. I always been a fan of Kovalchuck so I dont have as much hatred towards him as most Pittsburgh fans. They booed him every time he touched the puck the next night. He still had two more goals. I also think Atlanta is going to make the playoffs. They are red hot right now and seem to only be getting better and healthier.
