a sympathetic ranger fan has told me prior to this game he thinks kovalchuk is a cancer on this team. If he "just came" here, when are we playing him more than any other forward and pretty much depending solely on him during the power play. I would be MUCH happier with him OFF the point. We all look to pass to him, and the PKer's know to wait for that pass. That's not to say our PP was dreadful before he was on it, but wasn't he supposed to improve it?
