Kucherov gets 5 and a game for knee on knee hit on Tkachuk.

[These Are The Days]

Dude is just fine. People can let go of their Kucherov blood lust now

 

[Blue and Green]

Remind me what they were for? Do tell

They were suspensions, bud. And he got fined later that same season. But you keep telling yourself whatever you have to tell yourself.

 

[Mooserton]

If I'm the NHL I ban Kuchefraud for life.

 

[Master P]

He's back for the second period. He faked it.

I figured as much, you could see he was fine right after the hit.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Kuch is such a scumbag man, dirty dirty.

 

[Grifter3511]

People calling for a suspension are kidding themselves. No leg extension and caught the chest as well. Shouldn’t have been a 5, no way it’s a suspension though.

I'm not calling for a suspension, but kuch is leading with his knee and leg the whole way. Not to mention tkatchuk is barely going anywhere so this isn't a case of, 'he tried to dodge me at the last second.' Looks like Kucherov plants his right leg and drives directly into tkatchuck's.

But whatever. He got his 5 and a game. Move on.

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

And just like that Tkachuk is back on the ice. Should have been minor kneeing penalty for Kuch and embellishment penalty for Tkachuk.

NHL got baited Tkachuk is smart

You sound mad. Daddy is back anyways.

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

dirtier than Rempe's boarding

 

[Blue and Green]

Nice reply. I obviously couldn't expect anything better.

 

[Master P]

I thought it was "all knee"

As theatrical as they come.

 

[Beerz]

Kuch is dirty af

 

[FinlandPanther]

It was but he’s got unreal strength in that knee

 

[Master P]

Kuch is dirty af

How? Tkachuck faked being hurt, he's back on the ice.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Nice reply. I obviously couldn't expect anything better.

Well you said he got suspended so he’s dirty. Your response is a cry for help

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

NHL got baited Tkachuk is smart

Every time. No honor.

 

[gn2007]

Not good, hope Tkachuk is ok

Yeah he's playing on the PP like nothing happened hahaha

 

[Master P]

It was but he’s got unreal strength in that knee

I'm sure his knees get tons of work.

Is that so Mack can finally win an Art Ross?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Every time. No honor.

Honor doesn't matter in pro sports imo. They get results as frustrating as they can be that's what matters.

 

[Beerz]

How? Tkachuck faked being hurt, he's back on the ice.

Maybe.. but Kuch has a long line of incidents outside this one.

 

[sinDer]

The clip above looks like he caught him on the inside of the upper leg, not a great angle, however that still would hurt like hell.

Yeah. Looked more like thigh on thigh than knee on knee to me.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I'm sure his knees get tons of work.

They do. Cup squats this offseason.
