Playing career
Markov, alongside Nicklas Lidström, with the Red Wings.

As a youth, Markov played in the 1990 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Moscow.[1]

Markov began his career in 1993, playing for HC Spartak Moscow in Russia. The Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL drafted him in the 9th round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. However, partway through the 1996–97 season, he left Moscow and began playing for the Maple Leafs' farm team, the St. John's Maple Leafs. He made the jump to the NHL at the end of the 1997–98 season.

After four seasons in Toronto, he was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes for Travis Green, Robert Reichel, and Craig Mills. He played two seasons for the Coyotes before joining the Carolina Hurricanes for the 2003–04 season; once again, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for forward Justin Williams partway through the season. On March 5, 2004, he scored the 10,000th goal in Flyers history against Patrick Lalime and the Ottawa Senators during a 5–3 win at the Wachovia Center.

In the time leading up to the 2005–06, the Flyers found themselves in potential trouble with the new salary cap and needed to unload some salary. Thus, they traded Markov to the Nashville Predators for a third round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. On 26 July 2006, the Detroit Red Wings signed Markov as a free agent. Markov then signed a two-year contract with Dynamo Moscow in Russia.

Markov is noted for his toughness. One game which Markov played for the Leafs involved him receiving an injury below his eye which required stitches. He took the stitches without anesthetic in order to keep playing. Markov is also well known for returning to Jaromír Jágr his infamous "goal-salute" after the Maple Leafs knocked the Penguins out of the 1999 NHL playoffs during an Eastern Conference Semi-Finals overtime win.[2]

gollark: So, say, OLEDs, capacitative touchscreens (okay, I'm not sure how old those are), much faster RAM and new RAM technologies, laptops which you can actually carry, and transistors at the scale of tens of nanometres are not "new technologies"?
gollark: Laptops now are very different to ye olden laptops, touchscreens... are generally better now, I guess, LCDs can go to crazy resolutions and refresh rates and are being replaced by OLEDs in some areas, "microprocessors" is so broad and ignores the huge amount of advancement there.
gollark: I mean, yes, we have those still, but they're very broad categories.
gollark: What "20-30 year old technology"?
gollark: M.2 is just a form factor, M.2 SSDs can use SATA or NVMe, NVMe is a newer PCIe-based protocol for SSDs which is faster but not really that significant for everyday use, you can use your existing SSD if your thing supports it.
