Kovalchuk Pointed at Crosby.

Jan, 06, 2006.

[@ChrisF1harderthanyouthink]

God I miss Kovalchuk

[@user-dc6nj5ol7t]

One of the greatest. They should retire his jersey

[@grantpellegrino1147]

+Александр Король Kolvalchuk made the devils lose a draft pick and two million dollars.

[@TJWhitey38]

They got a Conference title over the strongest NYR and PHI teams in a long time...Kovalchuk's ability to solve Lundqvist was huge that year for that rivalry. Yeah it's not the Cup but they really shut the other Atlantic teams up that year.

[@SLproductions1000]

fucked them up pretty much

[@Drumrock361]

Going to have to wait another year...

[@MrBO55]

The announcer got it right: that's how a kid like Crosby will learn

[@YeYe-db6ur]

Looking like kolv should’ve learned from sid

[@korbendallas7181]

Watching in 2017. Miss Kovy!

[@holden6104]

One of my favorite hockey moments ever.

[@unplugged123]

kovalchuk... awesome. i wish we would see more of this kind of emotion and rivalry between players in hockey games.

[@maroinmybones]

NHL lost its passion and backbone

[@jake6601]

Kovalchuk put the youngster in his place,hope he comes back

[@tommyettinger1353]

and now Sid has 3 cups while Kovalsuck won none in the end he got the last laugh

[@Cinomod6066]

Had to come back and watch because hes on the caps now with ovi lol

[@sorentotorlucci1400]

God bless kovalchuk my favorite player of all time since the thrashers I miss him so much he better not go to the rangers I have a Jersey a million cards a stick with his curve and a signed photo I love him he's GOAT come back Kovy you'd be the best player

[@bishoppx]

Still love this.

[@binonuts]

haha, i luv the announcers reaction. "he pointed at crosby. thats awesome!" lmao

[@boelsa]

Kovalchuk was telling Sid he wants to help shine his Stanley Cup Ring and Gold Medal- kovalchuk was sweet this year on that penalty shot

[@lojosol]

Wow the Thrashers were killing it against the Penguins

[@junkstudios286]

+Eddie Adams how did they not make the playoff

[@artursfilipovs7453]

JunkStudios they did one year

[@Youtubeuser797]

Final score was actually 6-4 Thrashers. Pens got 4 straight after being down 5-0 then thrashers hit EN.

[@codymachado]

@@KZbinuser797 damn classic Atlanta almost blowing a 5 goal lead

Pretty sure he said cyka blyat

[@highquality86]

[@MrDesigno]

You are right!

[@fragger57]

This is great! 😂😂😂

[@user-et4wn4kb8g]

3 SC, 2 time olympic champion. Ilia, thank you for lessons ))

[@Lundqvist3035]

this was the greatest moment of my life

[@PENS68]

As a Pens fan I find nothing wrong about what Kovlachuk did. In fact it was a good learning experience. He's basically telling Crosby you to be disciplined and not take retaliatory penalties. I actually thought thus was kind of funny

[@xxMooNxShinExx]

Nothing classless or crybaby about this. This is just hockey. If you actually play these kind of things happen all the time. It's just the hockey rivalry energy.

[@thekillers1stfan]

Kovy has a some gold medals with Russia too he even scored a couple of overtime goals to get them, not to mention he's in the Stanley cup finals right now

[@davidw7080]

Best moment of Kovalchuks career...

I miss the trashers

Thank you sir, that made my day!

[@hatrikk7]

thanks for the memories ilya

[@Epetsi]

the best goal celebration of all time! that was great!

[@LunqvistNabokov]

I love how Crosby has matured a lot since. I hate the Penguins, but Crosby is definitely the greatest player today.

[@kevinrieber481]

He still has a long way to go buddy.

[@LunqvistNabokov]

He does have a long way to go to be considered the best of all time, but today, no doubt he is the best of active players.

[@EvilX24]

#Datsyukteam

[@black_squall]

He was 18 with the expectations of the world on him.. Not many play in NHL at that age let alone with those expectations.

[@blairthandi7058]

No way man. LAINE is better.

[@PaviGuru]

Can't wait to see how Kovy plays in new jersey. It's gonna be un-freaking beleivable! Go devviilllssss!!!!!

[@BigTimmy11]

This is beautiful

[@Regalman]

This game had an effect on Crosby. After this game I don't remember Crosby diving ever again. He ended up with 3 cups and easily top 5 all-time. Funny thing about life is that humbling experiences bring out the dragon in you.

[@ryangagnon9533]

He pointed to him and said “You’re going to win 3 cups, Olympic Gold, and WC Gold”.

[@MultiNoNamex]

well kovalchuk kas wc gold and olympic gold as well

[@bigmacattk]

Dragovich Tomlinson Well neither does Gretzky. Team sport

[@jeremyrowe8224]

@@MultiNoNamex And no cups and scrubbed out of the league in what his 20s? yeah Crosby got the last laugh

[@connorneshcov]

i think this is my favourite video on youtube...

[@SpeedyTase]

And that's when I fell in love with Kovy...he just needs to score more these days.

[@linkan91H]

Could you imagine how mutch it burns inside Sidney Crosby when hes on the ice? I mean hes like the most humble guy of the ice in the whole world but on it... oh boy hes like Dr Jekyll and mr Hyde! That is what makes him the best player in the world.

[@linkan91H]

theforsbergshow Yeah thats what I said? He is humble OFF the ice but ON it he is fierce!

[@alexandermilentis2130]

+linkan91H Best player in the world? He's like 30th in the league right now.

[@linkan91H]

And now he has a Conn Smythe Trophy. Your point was what?

[@linkan91H]

and a second stanley cup. I rest my case.

[@jackfredricks6223]

/cough Third cup /cough

[@joukotammi6936]

Crosby is Best player

[@Zydar10]

wow that was an awesome lesson from Kovy :) as far as understand that was Crosby's rookie year?! he is so much better now. love his play style

[@DirtyJerseyProductions]

never saw this, and i never had much respect for Kovy, but his stock rose about a million points in my book after this video.

[@billymurph8125]

CINDY NEEDS A TAMPON !!!!!!

[@Mootrain22]

i love at the beggining when he goes for the cheapshot hit from behind, and even leaves his feet..yet hes the one that stumbles backwards

[@raph193366]

Bob Hartley + kovalchuk = impossible to stop.

[@canuck21]

Thank you Kovalchuk for teaching Crosby a lesson. Crosby only got better from this experience.

[@stocksharkshirk9136]

I have a signed pic of kov doing this to Sid, just bought a jersey of him too

[@Thundermonk99]

linemates are only partly related to the point production. Those who benefit from a better team are the second/third liners who don't face the better defensive matchups. Though centres may get more opportunities for assists, it is a harder position than a winger because of the defensive responsibilities involved. Wingers can play more offensively as they have more time to rest, allowing them to be more explosive.

[@daddye0]

Kovalchuk is sick as hell, excellent player!

[@Genox51]

5-0 through 2 periods? DAMN!

[@rickywxx1058]

Never forget. Classic Material.

[@barrymccawkiner3241]

doesn't matter what team you support or how you feel about these two, fact is THAT IS ICE COLD.

[@mikemyros4142]

Gotta hand it to an 18 year old Sid for standing up to Kovalchuk. 6'3 230 lbs and quite willing to throw'em....

[@philadelphiaflyers48]

I LOVE IT!

[@ChrisLamia]

You know that winning a Cup is a team effort right. On the Thrashers they made the playoffs once, and now he is actually on a good team and he could win something in this league

[@PTHoeksema]

You say he is a champion, well so was Pavel Datsyuk. Not only did he get the Stanley Cup AND the Selke, he got an award for best sportsmanship (Lady Byng). In hockey, that is one of the top awards in my book. Just goes to show that you can be a great player without crying to the refs.

[@nathancrapo9788]

Does anyone know if Kovalchuk is a Hull fan. I just was wondering because that PP Goal was very Hull like, the great slapshot onetimer and he does wear the number 17 like Hull did (in Detroit)

[@BlackHatAndy]

I have gained a new respect for Kovalchuk.

[@daddye0]

I never said playmakers weren't important, but shooters are just as important is passers. Every role on the team is used differently...passers are important on powerplays and behind the net systems. However, hockey isn't a game of time and patience, rushes happen more often than not. On a rush, you gotta get the puck to the net fast...that's the shooters role. Passers are the ones who make the play, passers are critical, don't get me wrong, but I believe they're both equally important.

[@Sandler41882]

@stephen2767 look at jeff schultz. last year he was +50, leading the league. Did you consider him the best defenceman in the nhl?

[@Teh_Hats]

Great moments in Crosbaby history

[@euphemy]

This is awesome!!!

[@EVor977]

i love this

[@tony20sbestfan]

How do you download in-game footage? how do you get it to your computer?

[@jcd780]

kovalchuk is an amazing player who deserves to play in a better hockey market.

[@BabrahamDinkin]

Oh yeah, and Malkin had more points then Crosby in the playoffs. 36 points for Malkin vs. 31 for Crosby in the same amount of games. I agree that Malkin probably isn't as good as Crosby, but just because he didn't perform in the last few games, he still led the league in playoff points and was a MAJOR reason they even made it to the finals in the first place.

[@Germantownrunner]

Kovalchuk is #ALLCAPS now! He's #ALLOURS!

[@user-ee9jj8we5s]

👋 молодой сид кови ностальгия начало начала эпох ✌✊👌👍👋👏👐💪😎

[@methodmaine]

@kylejc4 whats a setence?

[@domesticcaribou]

this was the best game in thrasher history

[@Murph_gaming]

I sure did enjoy getting to watch Kovalchuk play while he was in Atlanta. Now I don't even get to watch the Thrashers anymore this really sucks.

[@BIGKINGRUSSAK]

@stephen2767 what is with the world cup?

[@Stanislav55]

There`s a point: do what you have to do.Score goals and make an assists.Both these guys`re great and Crosby learned that lesson I guess

[@Xsar1942]

Kovalchuck fucking king, was my favorite player

[@LaOoOnGBaK]

that was some pure Ownage he knew he was going to score with this hard one timer

[@addtothebeauty]

I really like watching this video. I can't help but feel a little sorry for Sidney Crosby, because his face looks so sad. But at the same time, I like Ilya Kovalchuk, so I like seeing him school Crosby. The emotions here make this a fascinating episode to view.

[@zmfmanz]

Props to Kovy on this one! He's letting him know.

[@reapercometh]

Crosby lead his team through the playoffs to the Stanley cup 2 years in a row. He did not dive during either playoff push he fought and worked harder then most of his haters want to admit. He didn't complain and he and matched ovie point for point in the series. He's matured and keeps maturing. It's amazing that he has a following of whiners that complain about him doing what they are in fact doing themselves. Get over it as time goes on he keeps proving himself. Enjoy the great hockey.

[@kev712]

@TheGoldenDuck01 with the pens tanking games for several seasons, they were able to build a better supporting cast to make a championship run. malkin, fleury, staal, etc. a championship is a team achievement. is dan marino not a good QB because he didnt win a ring?

[@user-ti1yp2px8l]

Илюша как всегда красиво оформил Кросби.

[@thekillers1stfan]

probaboy because sid plays 10 mins more each game, and Zetterberg for sure has the best backhand in the league, he scores like half of his goals with it

[@thekillers1stfan]

implying that that backhand wasn't more accurate and powerful than Sid's forehand, and he's made that same shot at least 3 times before, I'd love to see sid try to put a puck into such a small opening while on his backhand

[@LAJJZZ]

I love you Kovy.

[@LitleDusk]

@xRipzo Have you talked to him about it? :)

[@TheHuskyrunner14]

yes you are. kovy is not in the box that much. bernier costs his team stanley cups. kovy is passonite, and a great leader. not to mention a great player.

[@BluesRaconteur]

Absolutely agree!

[@pcfriars14]

@dillonfozzy i understand that completely and i think players like ignila datsyuk are completely underrated and the huge problem with people is that even if crosby had 2 points going into the championship game and he iced the puck down in overtime and it barely had enough speed to reach the net but miller missed it...crosby would get praised..its inevitable and now that hes hurt i hope people like iginla get the respect and spotlight they silently work so hard for

[@Boog2200]

Savard and Kovalchuck were awesome together

[@3sizzleman]

like a boss

[@bags258]

im a caps fan, and im not sure there would b a word 2 describe how happy i would b

[@BluesRaconteur]

I didn't mean to shun the passing aspect of hockey, but you did bring up that leading the league in points topic. Have you seen the Penguins roster in comparison with the Thrashers? Despite the obvious talent imbalance in linemates, Kovalchuk is a winger. Though they may contribute many assists, Wingers are more or less the designated one-timer..ers (bad english, whatever). It's no coincidence that Crosby has had so many assists, while both Ovechkin and Kovalchuk have had so many goals.

[@guipia77]

Crosby should point his scoring titles, stanley cup ring and gold medal to Kovalchuk now

[@Kafija123]

Whats the song name after KOVY's goal?

[@tonyunorthodox]

It really doesnt get much better than this. Kovalchuk rarely shows anything but pure sportsmanship and he shows Crosby how an elite player is supposed to play.... honorably. I wonder what the league thinks about the widespread hatred of their premier player? Thank you Flyers! No more Crosby till next year!

[@SurfinCowboy5615]

Comment aged about as well as Kovalchuk’s NHL career

[@gthyhtujjuk]

kovy has always played like a veteran

[@mike32mm]

@tony20sbestfan he has been nothing but a class act in new jersey. on top of that this was 4 years ago, he's definitely matured as a player and i would love to keep him in new jersey with the new coaching staff and bigger defensemen.

[@MrFootboul]

haaaaaa i remember that night !

[@simongagne33]

ya true and also i would liek to add that Crosby has Malkin and a whole bunch of good players (good example crosby gets lots of rebound goal) but Kovalchuk is stuck with the Thrashers who isnt so hot right now

[@SearchEast2069]

i love this vid.

[@ejl74]

@KashiwaDaisuke he had a great team behind him..lets see him on the 2009 oilers..see how close he would come to the playoffs..where did he take them this year??? to play golf :)

[@GermanRocket7]

@nickt09 You what's the real joke? In that season, the Penguins advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals and Atlanta was bottom feeding trash. Kovalchuk still amassed a lot of goals/points that season even though he had crappy team mates. Crosby lives off a superb Pengayins roster.

[@meo131]

Amen

[@1Amiel1]

What a shot!

[@tmcmullen70]

Malking was actually drafted before Crosby but didn't play until 2006 Sid's second year

[@brianwild3698]

that cut deep, you could see it

[@haelsoprofeten]

Well it did help that the Pens tanked for several years. It's not like it was Crosby and only Crosby who made them into champs. Crosby is not overrated though, he is one of the best players in the world. I have him at #3 behind Ovechkin and Malkin.
