Kucherov Appears to Intentionally Trip Rasmussen As He Scores

[Rschmitz]

Can you disprove it, especially when it comes to Kucherov?

Argumentum ad ignorantiam

Mark Zuckerberg is an alien because no one can prove that he isn't.

If there were multiple photos and videos of Mark Zuckerberg flying around in a UFO but the government kept saying there was nothing to investigate, then yes, you'd (rightfully) be calling it a conspiracy.

Call me crazy but I find something like this worse than McDavids crosscheck.

 

[Kegs]

are we really out here saying this is worse than mcdavid giving garland a whole new face?

Call me crazy but I find something like this worse than McDavids crosscheck.

sorta funny. i dont disagree. Its way more of a bitch move, for sure..... i think i might actually hate the elbow to Johanssen the most. Just totally uncalled for and possibly even the most damaging of the three.

I cant believe nobody ever beats the shot out of these smallish, dirty star players.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Typical Kucherov

exactly . ecspecially when mcdavid was in complete control of a precission hit to the helmet . he knew exactly what he was doing and that he wouldnt hit the face but rather just the helmet without injurying . a totally justified move in my book caused by carpland playing punk clutch n grab hockey which seriously detracts from nhl excitment .

No, because that's not what happened to Garland.

What McDavid did was provoked, overt & less dangerous

What Kucherov did was unprovoked, covert & way more dangerous

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

i hope the wings trade for rempe before the next time they play tampa

 

[Connor McConnor]

McDavid deals with constant holds and wrestling matches all game. Kucherov is a floating winger who is one of the dirtiest crybabies in the league.

 

[Coffee]

Who is still giving kucherov the benefit of the doubt?

He's a prick.

He has 73 points, dude. He deserves the benefit of the doubt and you know that.

 

[TheSuperElite]

he's always been the sorest of losers

 

[SI90]

Great player. Amazing talent. But Kucherov has always been a dirty little bitch

 

[catnip]

I think anything intentional that has the potential to send people head first into goal posts at full speed should probably be frowned upon. Most of the time nothing happens so it's easy to write off as just another dirty play but sometimes the stars align in a bad way and someone gets paralysed. Sanni Hakala wasn't tripped but she's a recent example of what could happen when everything goes wrong. Maybe we (or some of us) don't really care because hockey is dangerous and we could all die tomorrow, but still. Bad luck doesn't need extra help.

Typical Kucherov

Yep. Kucherov has always been a dirty player.

He has 73 points, dude. He deserves the benefit of the doubt and you know that.

Why would his point total have anything to do with giving him the benefit of the doubt over a dirty play?

 

[Ratatoskr]

Do you walk out of your house every morning with a cup on in the off chance a rabid wolverine latches onto your genitals? Gotta be ready for anything. It's a crazy world out there.

If Kucherov has been spending the night, you can bet your sweet ass that that's EXACTLY what I'm doing!

 

[MoneyManny]

Which is one decision of many he could have made, brace harder, skate faster, skate slower, deke, initiate contact, shoot it earlier, etc etc.

Can he telepathically be ready for exactly that from kuch, obviously not. Does he have more options than gliding to the net trying to protect the puck, yes, obviously.

That is all. Not taking anything away from a dirty play so dont @ me in your fake internet outrage over minutiae.

If a Boxer gets roundhouse kicked in the face, judo thrown and then arm barred on the ground in a boxing bout, you gonna blame him for not expecting that shit too?

 

[Coffee]

Yep. Kucherov has always been a dirty player.

It’s obviously a dirty play, but what I’m saying is a lot of people will look the other way when he’s scoring at this type of rate

 

[CowbellConray]

Kucherov is Marchand with a quarter of the nose

 

[StammerHammer]

Kucherov is Marchand with a quarter of the nose

So, Marchand is the winner by a nose.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Kucherov is Marchand with a quarter of the nose

As a Bruin fan I have to agree, I also do not see how anyone can compare Kuch to McDavid who has no history of dirty plays at this rate.

 

[Toby91ca]

He has 73 points, dude. He deserves the benefit of the doubt and you know that.

Huh? So if he was a 50pt producer it would be ok to suggest he's a dirty player, but because he scores more he deserves the benefit of the doubt.....or are you suggesting he's gets that benefit because he's a star but really shouldn't.

 

[bleedgreen]

I don’t know that it’s more than a minor penalty but 100% intentional and yes…..Kuch makes it hard to like him sometimes.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

I wonder how many Stanley cups most players have.

No correlation between an inability to control yourself and Stanley Cups.
Jerome Iginla, Joe Thornton did shit like this all the time when their teams were losing. Where are all of their cups?
