Is Kucherov the least liked player in the NHL? (Performance in Skills competition)

[JukofYork]

Last night I attended a hockey party where they were about 5-6 kids wearing Kucherov jerseys who were excited to see him play and show his skills. A couple of the kids actually took off his jersey and threw it lol

A lot of the parents and kids were quite upset at how he acted in the skills competition and didnt even bother trying, laughed about it and mocked fans.

What do you guys think? Most people at this party were saying even if he didnt want to be there he should have at least sucked it up and gave his fans what they wanted. A few of the kids were extremely upset by his actions and left very disappointed.

Seemed super selfish to me.

Thoughts?

Doesn’t the fact that 5-6 kids wore his jersey answer your question?

 

[ninakmis]

if he didnt want to attend, he should fake an injury at least(afaim Jágr did it..)..

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Pretty sure Captain Schnoz from Boston or Wilson in DC have taken turns being voted 1st or 2nd on the least liked list.

 

[Strat]

He's always been a jerk. This is just the latest proof of it.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

He would have to skip a game no? And he can win the Hart Trophy, so maybe he wasn't willing to do that.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He was an embarrassment.

Showing up drunk or hungover wasn't cute in the slightest. NHL should have removed him from the All-Star game after his antics yesterday.

Nobody even wanted to talk to him, he sat by himself most of the time.

 

[NVious]

He should go play on the Golden Asterisks next, a couple that loves cheating and stealing cups via cap circumvention.

 

[Edgelord]

I gotta say it did look bad on him, but his in game actions do show a pattern of taking suck attacks

 

[Matias Maccete]

This thread is number 1 bullshit.

Say what you will about the All-Star game/competitions, these events are meant for the kids, not adults. For Kucherov to act like this is an absolute slap in the face to every young hockey fan, whether in the stands or watching at home.

Never liked his personality, but this confirms his douchebag status:

^Btw, I don't do this often but trying to embed the clip from Twitter and it won't work under the media option. Don't know if a mod can help me out.

That's a terrible thread title considering the OP but yes, to try within reason would have been a decent thing. Taking a piss because you feel bigger than the fans/league isn't right.

But he has the reputation of being a grumpy f*** who is hard to stomach unless you are used to it so this just goes with the territory for him.

It's called arrogance. He has two cups, the ASG is a joke to him.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

It's called arrogance. He has two cups, the ASG is a joke to him.

Also nobody likes being schooled by McDavid. Nothing you can do though. Too good.

I am sensing a pattern with players from Russia not being fans of all star weekend.

Then don't show up if you are better than the ASG.

They're used to not upstaging Putin at these kinds of events, it's hard to counter-program that behaviour with only one ASG a year.

Kucherov to me doesn't come across as a team player. Doesn't help that he's in Toronto, an arch rival for Tampa.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

He couldn't hear the boos because his Stanley Cup rings are plugging his ears.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

What did he do? link?

he for sure did nothing to help his image.
Sure he struggled but he could have had some fun and got the crowd into it
If it was me, I would have called a guy over with a mic and got the kids involved.

 

[These Are The Days]

I didn't watch last night. What exactly did he do thats got so many jimmies rustled?

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Fans pay hard earned money, so their right to boo if someone is essentially slapping them in the face.
