Spy's Love of Kovalchuk Makes One Nostalgic



When I first read this report about one of those recently-captured Russian spies being a Kovalchuk fan, I became all giddy, and eager to write a "ha ha espionage and my favorite player" post.

Then I remembered that he doesn't play for us anymore. I grew wistful.

I know we're all supposed to pretend he's History's Greatest Monster now, but still. Wonder where he'll end up.

Also, on this suburban Russian spy ring business: is THIS what international espionage has become? McMansions and HGTV? I mean, just how "deep cover" do you have to go?

And more importantly...what does Kovy know?

I would totally sell some national secrets to her sweet ass, and video tape it for espionage purposes.

Being a Russian spy sounds pretty sweet. Hey, you guys remember how last year the Thrashers were trying to build the Russian National team? Ahhh, memories.

With free agency beginning tomorrow, I'm thinking that IF the Thrashers are actually able sign somebody, it's most likely going to be Ponikarovsky. I'd love to see Mad Max back and Frolov would be a great addition, but we seem to be lowballing everybody right now. We may be able to get Poni on the cheap after Nikolai whispers sweet nothings in his ear.

What do you folks think? Think we sign somebody worth a damn tomorrow?

I would very much enjoy:

- re-signing Kubina
- re-signing Afingogenov
- signing Frolov
- Signing Nabokov in Opium Never-Never Imaginationland

But it looks like Afinogenov is headed to Russia, and yes, we're lowballing everyone. I have a strong feeling that Frolov is going to Pittsburgh, but that might just be my knee acting up.

Well, I guess we don't have to worry about acquiring Versteeg.
