Kovy following fellow Russian

[Banackock 8,045]

Maxim Kovalchuk is a name that abruptly took the VHLM by storm. Shortly after fellow Russian Vyacheslav Smirnov came forward with his eligibility, Kovalchuk followed suit and made his name known to the league. Both players come from Russia, are the same age and funny enough, played for the same teams while over in Russia. Alike, they also have both taken their new presence in the VHLM/VHL community very seriously and have come out of the gates flying. Though, currently, Smirnov is slightly ahead - we wouldn't say for too long as both players will be developing at the same rate for this week and will see both players - despite different positions, at the same skill level. For Kovalchuk, his goals are to be a dominating, offensive beast out on the blue line for the Oslo Storm this season and if he had it his way, he'll enter the VHL draft after the season and maybe be long gone and onto better thing. 

 

I like to score goals, man. What person that plays hockey doesn't like to score goals. It gets you pumped - like, fuck yeah. You're helping the boys out, padding your stats and looking good to everyone watching. I want to be that guy, that they can count on to come out big and really make things happen. Eventually, I'll fold into a two-way guy, but for now, I want those scoring titles for blue liners in the VHLM. Count me in on it because it won't take long for me to start climbing. Let's go OSLO!
