Kovalev is often considered by many critics to possess the finest raw skills in the game of hockey. Some even go as far as saying Kovalev surpasses the skills of Wayne Gretzky.^{[citation needed]} However, despite these raw, basic skills, critics often point to numerous reasons why Kovalev never flourished on the level of any of the previously mentioned players such as a poor transition to the NHL game, failure to refine his skills into actual play and some even blame his work ethic.^{[citation needed]} Wayne Douglas Gretzky, OC (born 26 January 1961 in Brantford, Ontario) is a retired Canadian-American professional ice hockey player who is currently part-owner and head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes. ...

In 2007 Kovalev sparked controversy when he allegedly criticized his team, coaching staff and the French media in an interview done with a Russian reporter in his native language. Though the reporter who conducted the interview later rescinded Kovalev’s quotes, and the tape she used never surfaced, a majority of the fans and members of the media believe the criticism to have actually happened.^{[citation needed]} This story was especially controversial due to the poor performance by Kovalev in the 2006-2007 NHL season amassing only 18 goals, 29 assists for a total of 47 points. His comments were also believed to be true by many habs fans because of the way fellow Russian hockey player Sergei Samsonov treated the Canadiens management and fans.
