New Jersey native named Kovalchuk arbitrator

Report: Richard Bloch named Kovalchuk arbitrator

So let me get this straight. Ilya Kovalchuk's fate is in the hands of an old lawyer from Jersey. I'm not a Devils fan, but this guy better not deny me the chance to see Kovy in person until I'm at least 30. Who cares if he'll probably go to Russia after 11, let the guy have his the 17 year, 102 million dollar contract. He actually pretended to be excited about playing in Newark even though he could be living in LA, playing on a line with Anze Kopitar. I guess those commie bastards just love wearing red.
