Darren Eliot Sits Down with the Czar

Our very own commentator talks to the Dude (is this a good alternate nickname for Kovy? I was thinking of letting John Anderson be the Dude, but I also kind of like "the Professor" for him) about his place in France, teeth, and winning. Money quote:

SI.com: There are many who say this is your team -- yours to lead. How does that make you feel?

Kovalchuk: I'm ready. I want that pressure. We need to win.

Oh yes.
