The worst part about this is we're going to have to hear Manta gloating for the next week.

the next week..........maybe the next 15 years

It's just amazing how wrong the whole thing has gone. Just completely, utterly wrong.

[MadDog2020]

At this point I don't know what would be better for him...getting back out there on Friday and hope things improve, or take a game or two off to clear his head.

A game or two off to clear his head? You mean the game where he was healthy scratched for being late wasn't enough for him?

Yeah, making him a healthy scratch at this point will probably do more harm than good.

I feel like he just needs to score one. Just get the monkey off his back.

What the ... !

You have to give him points for originality, though.

Kovalchuk just watches the game. In Atlanta he would yell for the puck in his own zone and always want it on his stick to bring down ice with speed. Now his speed is gone (maybe he was not training during the K negotiations?) and he never seems to move into open ice looking for the puck. When he is in his own zone and the other team has the puck he doesn't even swat at it or poke check when he is within like 3 feet of a player. He has absolutely no aggression, he lookes like a nudered dog out there.

again i dont see why everyone is sh!tting on Kovie, came really close to get a highlight reel goal early in the game... got unlucky at the end of the game and he was not even on the top 3 shooters for the shootout... if the other guys would have done their job he would not have stepped on the ice at all... and now because HE missed well everyone is freaking out

with that said he's not producing like he should but that happen and there's no need to freak out there's way way way way way way worst contracts out there...

[newjerseydamo]

Kovalchuk is nothing but an embarrassment for us now.

i have to admit, i was really excited to have him coming here long term, and he was a point a game player in NJ when we got him after the trade.

Now, it's disgraceful.

all i can hope for now, is that he picks things up over the next year or so with us, otherwise he isn't going to last out his contract with NJ.

[LucifersDog]

sh!t happens. He had an awful game. I'll stick with him, because he plays for my team. I sincerely hope you throw yourself off a bridge. We don't need scum like you in our fanbase.

DM he should be removed.

I laughed out loud. Well done, Sterio!

i destroyed a franchise and i have a mustache like a pedophile.

[squishyx]

Maybe if we gave him 200 million he shoots it on net...

I kid, Kovy isn't the reason we lost tonight, and hey one point! When you are on the bottom these things add up. I was happy with the way Tedenby played, hopefully he sticks.

You wish!

We're on pace to collect 20W and the first overall pick!!!!!!!!

Oh please...Kovy has a partial breakaway, shoots it in the stands, he has a shootout and doesn't even get a shot on net because he fumbles the puck Sorry if I expect more than that and six points in sixteen games from our $100 million man. $100 million my tit. I hate the fact that Manta's probably going to be right and Kovy's our Yashin-like albatross.

[Devilsfan118]

Don't go around causing problems and then cry to mommy when the big kids lash back.

No offense intended to DM.

No, but you'd like him to be a reason we won!

I think Yashin did better than Kovy...at least he was partially the reason why the Isles made the playoffs.

[spacegrass]

While I will admit that was pretty ugly, it seems a little early to call Kovy a failure in New Jersey. The whole team is struggling, cant put all the blame on him. Alot of people on this board seem to pile it on pretty heavy when things suck. My guess is if things were going better, they would be the same saying the kovy signing was the best thing ever.
