Around SBN: Yankees Deny Rumors That Team Is For Sale

Click the link for a video of Ilya Kovalchuk playing hockey with Kids- If anyone's fluent in russian, feel free to translate it and fanpost it, Vladimir Zharkov also makes an appearance in the video. Kovy's teaming up with Alex Ovechkin for a charity game on August 31st in Russia.

Glove tap to Emily from Japers Rink for sending this my way.

This is basically what the commentator says from the 20 second mark- The task for Ilya Kovalchuk isn’t just to have a capable team but also make interest rise for this game. On Russian channel two there will be a live feed. The player who you see with Kovalchuk when he drops the puck isn’t just an actor but also 7 year old Armanian player Misha Kabat.

(After kid talks) However on August 31st, don’t expect Misha to play in the game, so whose going to play in the game Kovalchuk?

Kovalchuk- A lot of the same people I tried to call the people who play at the NHL to see them and so they come play here if they are free for sure.

Interviewer- This is part of your training right?
Kovalchuk- Yeah but I’m actually working with my trainer outdoors and go on the ice three times a week with the other players and friends. Just for fun, usually I never skate this early.

Commentator- Accompanying Kovalchuk is Slava Kozlov and fellow New Jersey teemate Vladimir Zharkov. Question to Zharkov- is it competitive out there on the ice yet?

Zharkov- No not really we were actually just talking to the other players here and we think it will hopefully get competitive during the game.

Kovalchuk- Hopefully this becomes tradition this game at the end of the summer, because again I say there are a lot of people that need the help from the money that this game generates. I think if this works out then we do a good deed.

Commentator- All of the money coming from this is going to kids with cancer. Last time they raised 13 million rubles. (About 500,000 Dollars I believe.

Very cool KovyisLove

a cool ILWT feature would be to let us emphasize what other languages we speak. Peeps who speak Russian, French, Swedish, Finnish, Czech, Slovakian, or Latvian, etc. should get some notability – so when we need translations, we can get them. Too bad Italy isn’t better at hockey . . .

I have respect for most sports fans with 2 exceptions: NY Ranger fans who grew up in New Jersey, and Dallas Cowboy fans who can't name the capital of Texas.

I speak English, Spanglish and Piglatin.

The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? - Il Duce
