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

[Monsieur Miz]

One of the most pathetic post I have read on here.

By gawd, how are the kids going to recover from this? Their childhood is ruined.

Incredibly gifted hockey player, obviously one of the best players going. Terrible personality, not a great guy for a kid to idolize in the first place. This is nothing new, he’s been a dick for a while now.

 

[River Meadow]

I hope he doesn't get invited back to All-Star weekend.

What is the point if he CLEARLY doesn't give a s***?

Luckily these kids didn't have Hart or Dube etc. jerseys. That would be a struggle.

Dickhead acts like dickhead. News at 11.

Agreed. He'd be happier partying in the Cayman Islands with his best friends, or more likely, training.

The All Star Game should be converted to an award and nothing else. It's a waste of everyone's time.

If you want to give northern teams a break from the travel and weather, just admit it.

The entirety of the Allstar weekend should just be wrapped up in a single day, dragging it out this long is painful

it would be like a blessing to him. forcing him to participate in this atrocity every year, on the other hand, would punish him all right.

Maybe instead of having an all star game just give the guys their time off and coordinate with the womens league to have their playoffs/finals take place during this time period.

Since theres no NHL games it would be easier to get more eyes on the women's league and highlight that.

Easily, more people watch, more sponsors. I didn't give a damn about skills competition and this weekend, but after everyone started complaining about Kucherov, I decided to watch, to find out what the hell happend. I suppose I'm not the only one who did this.

I don't think you understand how sponsors work, nor business in general.

 

[Il Stugotz]

what?
curmudgeons are the best

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It’s crazy to see the entitlement of fans on here. Kucherov is a hockey player. His only duty is to show up! I bet he does a lot of things to your team that you don’t find very entertaining either, none of that is really his problem.

Sure, sure. It's the people here that are entitled and not the guy getting paid $10 million to play hockey who after being chosen as one of the best players in the league, couldn't manage to try for a few minutes and put on a show for the fans.

There may be people bashing Kucherov because they already hated him but I am not one of them. I don't even hate him for this I just think it's immature and entitled.

As he's said publicly many times, he doesn't care about anything but winning the Stanley Cup.

I'm sorry he isn't into Canadian circus tricks.

Then he shouldn't go and have his spot taken by someone who will actually participate in the event instead.

Sorry on behalf of tampa fans that Kucherov ruined your all star skills competition. What can we do to make up for it?

Kucherov is a slightly more grown up kid. Yeah he’s immature and entitled. As are most NHL players. People are getting mad at Kucherov when really they should be mad at the league office.

But they're not tampa and not Russian lol

He scored a goal and assist while being half shifted. Calm down.

I know what it feels like to never win a cup for a decade, it's rough. My parents bought season tickets in '92, and we had to wait until '04 to see our first cup. After that we had to suffer all the way until 2020 and 2021 to see our 2nd and 3rd cup.

We've even lost 2 Cups between the founding of our franchise and today.

I feel your pain Canada.

PS: If this thread was about a player on Toronto it would be locked and many posters would be banned.

Now you’re just being unoriginal

 

[Soul Assumption]

Let's be clear: the All-Star Game is just another excuse. The real reason for Kucherov’s hate is a mixture of jealousy (he won cups, their "contenders" did not) and russophobia.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

I wish Marchand was an All Star this year

Nah mostly because he plays dirty when he's down

Doughty and Kopitar and Toews and Kane won Cups and aren't hated across the league. Heck, even Stamkos and Point or Hedman aren't. Only Kucherov.

 

[SoundAndFury]

People are getting mad at Kucherov when really they should be mad at the league office.

For what? It's really unfortunate how many thicc people in this "hardcore" forum don't understand All-Star game is aimed at the audience that isn't interested in 2-1 blood guts truculence playoff hit-fest [yet]. It reaches the audience that otherwise sees little appeal in hockey.

Just because you want to be so hardcore and All-Star game is gimmicky, and stupid, and this, and that doesn't mean organization the size of the NHL don't do some basic freaking market research.

Also lol at Tampa's "he only cares about the Cup" fans. If that was the case, he would play for league minimum and yet so it happens, he gets paid 10 million per year.

You don't think he acts like an ass? Its just jealousy and russophobia?

And yet the players themselves don’t hate him. Only the fans of the teams he’s beaten. Sucks to be you.

 

[jaysoneil]

Quite the professional conduct. Didn't expect anything less though. Good for him for trying to be the cool guy who doesn't care. What a dork.

 

[Laveuglette]

Came here for this lol. Looked like a complete moron despite winning the cup. Called Fleury "that guy from Vegas" as if he didn't remember his name... that was in Montreal nonetheless.

Amazing talent though.
