It is well documented that his time in Russia, especially losing friends in that plane crash changed him. It's still remarkable that he has been able to sustain his physical abilities at such an age.

A player also had a heart attack and soon after died. At the time he was sitting next to the guy on the bench in the KHL.

You mellow as you get older.  He was definitely a primadonna n his days in Pittsburgh and mainly in Washington.  However, he's approachable and respectful of his place in the game.  He's always been an amazing talent to watch.

Leafs got some trades done it seems.

 

Shawn Matthias to the avalanche for a 4th round pick and Colin smith (AHL guy I guess). 

Roman polak + centre nick spaling for Raffi torres and 2nd round picks in 2017 and 2018.

Yes it is. Nothing wrong with that.  I keep a bottle here myself.  Lots of Catholics do.

I didn't mean to suggest there's anything wrong with it. The snark involved the idea of a Sabres fan being splashed with his holy water.

The announcement from the team on Kovalchuk said that he had been dismissed from the team, but apparently it appears to only be a one-game benching (for now):

 

My understanding of the Kovalchuk situation is it is a one-game benching (for now) by coach Sergei Zubov.

Zubov!  Quick story time.  I was in Salt Lake City for work a couple years ago, and I was speaking with a Russian fella there who was in college in Utah during the 2002 Olympics.  Because he spoke the language, he was hired by the Russian hockey team to help them find their way around the city.  Most notably, he had to drive Zubov to Nevada so he could gamble.  Zubov apparently promptly blew $15,000, and then argued with his wife the entire drive back to SLC.  It sounded real awkward.

WHO THE ###### BRINGS A BABY TO A HOCKEY GAME?

Probably the same moron who brought her kid to the Jays playoff game where she sat right behind the plate. Spoiler alert, kid got drilled with a half-full beer can from the upper deck

Doesn't matter. Who the heck takes their baby anywhere near that?

Traditionally people that can't afford to go to games go to practices and other informal things like that and its not unusual to see young parents at those kind of things with their babies. The article doesn't address whether she knew picks were going to be thrown into the stands or was not paying attention.

Man. I guess I just don't get it. Must be because I'm not a parent. But there are a lot of places I'm not going to take a baby, and a hockey rink is one of them.
