+1. I've mentioned this on another board. Kovalev is to hockey as And1 is to NBA.
Despite all the videos and documentation of his skill, only a margin of it can be translated to actual game situuation. That's why people see his flashes of brilliance only every now and then. It's not because he only shows up "when he wants to."
Kovalev is the rich man's Robbie Schremp.
