Kovy is coming back to Montreal and he’ll be wearing a Habs jersey.
Alex Kovalev is scheduled to play in the “2013 All-Star Classic” at the Bell Centre on March 24. The popular former Habs forward will suit up for the Canadiens Alumni team when it faces off against NHL stars from the 1980s and ’90s.
Dubbed the “Greatest Hockey Stars” team, their roster will include Luc Robitaille, Raymond Bourque, Valeri Bure, Eric Lindros, Dino Ciccarelli and Marcel Dionne with Curtis Joseph in goal.
The Canadiens alumni team will include Chris Chelios, Guy Carbonneau, Vincent Damphousse and Denis Savard. They’ll be coached by Habs Hall of famer Guy Lafleur, promoter Evenko announced on Tuesday.
Former NHL coaches Michel Bergeron and Jacques Demers will be behind the bench for the Greatest Hockey Stars team.
Part of the proceeds will go to the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation and the Canadiens Alumni Association, Evenko said. Tickets go on sale Dec. 8 at 10 a.m.
The NHL All-Star Game scheduled for Jan. 27 in Columbus, Ohio, was cancelled because of the ongoing labour dispute.

As an SEO advisor and a talk fan of discussing useful information I would suggest every Web page owner, Web Developer, Web Developer, or any other person looking to improve their site, use the Free seo tool offered by The World Extensive Web Range (W3C). I’ve defined three very important factors why you should use these no cost SEO tools:
Headline from NHL.com;
“Canada hopes RNH will be at WJC selection camp”
He should snub them.
First, Alex Kovalev. I think the reason people in Montreal are so intrigued with him is because three, of his four seasons here, were very productive. One season he only posted 18 goals in 73 games but in his best he potted 35 goals. Fans could clearly see he was the most talented player on both teams on many nights. So why wouldn’t you like him?
The naysayers, who say he could have done more with his talents do have a point. He has made some glaring gaffs in his career and there were plenty of times where he was questioned in the media about his work ethic. But at the end of the day the guy sits 71st in career points in the entire history of the NHL.
I’m a huge backer of Canadian talent and don’t consider too many Russian hockey players to be among my favorites. The two best Russian hockey players I’ve ever seen have to be Pavel Pure and Alex Kovalev.
After getting passed names like Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, Steve Yzerman and Mark Messier I consider Bure and little further down the line, Kovalev, two of the most talented players I’ve ever seen.
Talent wise, many guys that played with Kovalev said he was the most talented player they have ever seen. Coming from your Peers that is very impressive.
Ah Kovy. He was entertaining for sure. Loved it when he caught Tucker with his head down and smoked him but good.
Four hours and counting….
Good news, no?

Hope some new ideas are being floated around. Would be nice to hear some progress was made when this meeting ends.
Lawyer speak take long time. They’ve just finished saying, “Hi!”
Haha, reminds me of the trees from Lord of the Rings.
Thought they left the lawyers home.

Yawn……. Hey amigos , anyone else think that RG3 should win rookie of the year? Man that kid is fun to watch. Saludos!
…have long-considered McLean the Anglo-version of Rejean Houle-lite …but I was on his side in his vigorous debate with Kypreos and Millard in the previous thread
…Andrew Berkshire and I don’t normally share the same universe, but I strongly agree with His on-line open-letter to Geoff Molson, owner of the Franchise generating the second most revenue in the NHL and possessing the Brand with the most gravitas, suggesting He ought to be able to find His legs and play a more assertive and influential role on the NHL Board Of Governors in the future, if not the present
If Kovy showed up for every game, he’d be Captain of the Habs right now……
You sure? Koivu showed up for every game.
Kovalev not Saku. If Kovalev had Saku’s work ethic he’d be a sure fire hall of famer.
———————————–
I think the point Fake was making is Saku showed up each and every game and was tossed out like yesterday’s garbage so even if Kovalev played evey game balls out like Saku did he would still have been traded away…
Gotcha! Thanks. Totally missed that. Sorry Fake.
———————————–
Yeah thanks bud. And to Habfan it’s no problem.
And Koivu didn’t show up for every game either. I remember games when I was wondering where had the captain gone. He had his fair share of floaters.
Only MAB showed up every night. That guy was awesome…
His fair share? Perhaps your definition of fair share is somewhat different then mine. On rare occasions is how I would describe it. Kovy? He wasted an awful lot of his god given talent by lack of effort/ interest. I agree with Habaroma’s take.
———————————–
Agreed re Kovalev
Jared Tobias on Steve Burton: “Steve Burton was the one who broke the news that Phil Kessel had testicular cancer in 2006. Anyone that familiar with Kessel’s balls has credibility. (Source: Boston.com)”
…sorry
…that one floored Me haha
———————————–
…if only Kovy had ‘shown up’ for every game …He could have owned Montreal
…for a bunch of ol’ fogey all-stars, it sounds like it will be a fun game to attend
