I heard a rumour from Finnish site that Kovalev and Markov are coming to play for Russia. Is this true?

I hope they come, since Russia needs more skill. Especially Markov would help since Russiaīs defense is slow and not good with the puck.

That would have been some quick decision making on their part.

I heard a rumor in the russian media, that Tikhonov and Kovalev have already an agreement.

That's for sure....

but I would like to go see them play. As already mentioned Russia's defense needs the help and Kovalev can't hurt ;)

Dear God, let this be true!

Hopefully Markov will come too, since I think he could help even more than Kovalev right now.

They declined.

Zubov has not played for Russia since 1996 World Cup. I donīt think he ever will.

Wow this would be great for the Russian team, their both played awsome in the series. When I first thought about it, I wondered if Alexei would go since his wife gave birth to his second son recently...

Ayways, hope this is true. Another stinker against Slovakia :shakehead

Anybody visits the IIHF boards? It's pathetic...

MARKOV is on the way to Sbornaja!!!

EDIT: Markov and Kovalev rejected to play. There won't be any additions to the russian team.

No medal for Russia. This just about secures it. Theyīll be out before the semifinals just like last year.
