| ts is not worthy of taking up $6.6 million of space on the salary cap every year. While I can see how Kovalchuk's postseason disappointments are an issue, it all seems to be blown out of proportion.

So, when Talbot went on a Pittsburgh radio show on Tuesday morning and called Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin a word that is most accurately used to describe a feminine hygiene product, like it or not, I bet it grabbed your attention. And the fact that the insult was hurled just hours before Talbot represented the Penguins |
