Last week, Alex Kovalev completed his 1000th NHL game. He also stated his goal to play until fifty and complete one thousand more games to reach the 2000 mark.
The journalists smiled. Kovalev insisted he was not joking. I believe him. This is bad news for the Canadien and his threat should not be taken lightly.
In fact, the player’s candid statement explains everything. We now know why Kovalev does not show up for every game. If he wants to play till he turns fifty, he’d better spare himself. If he wants to reach the 2000 game mark, he’d better dress for every game, but not always show up.
This is Kovalev’s strategy : play 2000 NHL games but compete in only a few hundred and doze the others away.
So, do not be surprised if, after his uncharacteristic fast start, Kovalev soon awards himself a seasonal on ice break : the Artist warned you.
