Dude could stick handle in a phone booth, just sick god given talent
Lemieux, Jagr, Kovalev, Straka AND Kevin Stevens on the same Powerplay??? Good Lord 😳
"He's the best stickhandler I've ever seen.
Quickness. Hands. A much better stickhandler than me. He's got the talent to be the best player in the world." - Mario Lemieux
but somehow not even close. Had some really bad games
@@rogervallve7375 had the talent, but didn’t have the drive
@ThisIsALongDrive It's like when Gretzky says stuff like "Crosby could break all my records" lol. You take it with a grain of salt. These old school greats are modest as hell to the point of ridiculousness.
@@Patt187 he had the stickhandling but he wasnt great in all aspects of the game. im a huge kovy fan, ill go as far as to say he was equal to datsyuk in stick handling, deking, shootouts, etc. and his game vision was good. however, he was a notoriously lazy skater, and took a lot of stupid penalties. offensively he was more than good, but his weaknesses and unwillingness to change his style left him as a low high-tier offense player. if this was ea sports, his wrist shot and stickhandling would be at 95 but his overall would still be in the 82-84 range. low discipline, low defensive awareness, low shot blocking, low speed and acceleration, low toughness and aggressiveness, but very high agility, stickhandling, shooting and hand-eye coordination
@@simplyskrypt3914 his speed and skating were actually really good…when he tried. I watched him a lot and his highlights, he was one of the top offensive players as you said. His shot, stick handling, vision, dekes and passing were right up there. Everything else though, outside of the o zone, was not great. He was a one way player, which is fine, but again agreeing with you, he was lazy everywhere else on the ice. He really had the skills and hockey IQ to be a true top tier forward, just didn’t care enough to get there.
Favorite player of all time
Kovalev had the best wrist shot I've ever seen
One of the quickest releases ever
favorite hockey player ever! this man must see t.v. everytime he was on the ice
One of my all time favorite players. Man, this Pens team was stacked.
Kovalev, Lemieux, Jagr. Ouch poor guys on the other side
Straka
Lang
Billy Tibbets
Stevens
How did not they win a cup that year. Or atleast finals
When he broke in with the Rangers...I remember reading..."He's the Russian Gretzky"....maybe not, but his peers thought ALOT of him. Anytime NHL players were asked who made them say WOW..."KOVALEV" or "AK" was heard 95% of the time. That's high praise.
Gretzky is Russian, he just pays Canadian taxes
number 4 all time ranked most talented player to play the game.
I was at this game! Good times
Kovalov is one of my favorite players of all times He is amazing I could watch videos on him all day long
Отличное время было и для Ковалева, и для Пингвинов!
Someone once said kovalev could shoot a quarter into a soda machine
There was a game with the Habs where he scored a goal. The puck went in vertically in a very very narrow space above the goalie’s shoulder who was hugging the post. When interview post-game about his goal he said “there wasn’t enough room for me to put it in top corner, so I decided to shoot the puck vertically to fit it in”. 😂
Fucken legend.
Kovalev is an absolute legend.
забить 3 Бродо это сильно👍
Boy he was some kind of talent. As a Pens fan I've been very luck to see some of the all time best and Kovalev was right up there with them. In today's NHL that relies on skill he might have been a top 5 guy.
Imagine having to play against a line composed of Kovalev, Jagr and Lemieux...
They would not play defence at all, so its not that bad.
@@RussianNHL Why play defence when you have the puck 90% of the time?
@@PEPSIPET why play defense when you can just score more goals
Not to be trifled with!
In 2001 they only played together on the power play. In 2001 Kovalev played with Straka and Lange which was arguably one of the best lines in hockey that year.
Каски раньше классные были , напоминали шлемы спартанцев
ну да
дело то в касках😉
6 goals in 2 games.. the game was easy for him at times
Corrie Brown He was my favorite player ever and had the greatest natural skill I've ever seen. If Keenan and Campbell hadn't screwed with him early in his career he could've been the greatest ever!
He had back-to-back hat trick games again the following season too
@@byronleemarley9610 Colin Campbell I despise.
Лёха рулил! кстати,если присмотреться,какое катание,какая работа руками (О_О)
Что значить - кстати. Тут не надо присматриваться даже
Капец составчик... Как они вообще делили поле... Ковалев, Ягр, Лемье...
We love the Kovalev! I loved him as a Ranger and I just had to root for the Pens during this period of the NHL. I even got a Pens fleece jacket that I called "The Kovalev Jacket".
I was at this game. Crowd went nuts.
Kovalev Jagr and Lemieux?! 🤯😱
Plus Lang, Straka, Kevin Stevens.
Straka such an underrated player!
alexander mogily 1 the best nhl play all time
The last Goal is a perfect Example of a Old School Goalie and today's (2020) Style. Brodeur was a Stand Up Style Goalie this is why he was weaker than a Butterfly Style Goalie who could probably save the last Goal. Think Kovalev would put the Puck in anyway today.
We would have been devastating squad to face in a shootout.
Elvis has just left the buildinnnnng
Lol funny for an overtime goal
Thats hall of famer mike lange voice of the penguins now retired he had dozens og those sayings
how do you play against that line, any of these guys can score at will...
Togliatti city Kovalev
See Brodeur is sooo overrated once you get passed his amazing defence he’s really just a helpless pylon
I agree.
I dont agree
Yeah, you guys are right. He sucks so bad. Winning almost 700 games, 3 cups, multiple Vezinas, more playoff games than anyone except Roy. Etc, etc, etc
"Helpless pylon"
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I'm a Pens fan and Brodeur is easily a top 3 goalie of the last 40-50 years, probably ever
🤜🤛🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
I really wish this particular penguins team would have won the cup. It would have been great to see Kovalev, Straka, Lang, Kasparitis, Hrdina, Morozov, etc hoist the cup.
Kasperitis is crazy dirty
Yeah they just never had the goaltending or depth at defense, that's why they were so eager to select Fleury in 2003 but by then it took a couple of years for him to develop as they had just gone into a rebuild
@@DanL21 That's a really good point.
Ковалев - великий игрок!
I miss those old pens jerseys
I do as well.
Same here! And that legendary roster
thanks for posting. great memory and homage--respect to Mr K- , very good hands, smartly dangerous.
That pens team was stacked
Kevin Reid they were stacked yet still were going bankrupt because at the end of this season is where it all started to unravel starting with the lopsided Jagr trade. UnfortuNately they didn’t have an answer for the NJ trap and the Pens defense was average. They were so top heavy on offense.
Not a lot of players scored hat tricks on brodeur.
I know the Penguins won all their cups with the "cartoon" Penguin logo, but this logo is just so much better. Shame they retired it.
Well they finally ditched the armpit stain tan and went back to yellow gold, so that's a start
We'll see it again. Probably in 2021 when we play Philly in the Winter Classic at Beaver Stadium. (Fingers crossed!!)
No the skating cartoon penguin is better. This logo is neat, but it looks more like a robotic pigeon than a penguin. Would be great if the Pens brought it back as an alternate, but only an alternate.
"Get that dog off my lawn..." LoLOL
Ah, buy Sam a drink and get his dog one too!!
