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

[Master P]

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

I mean its not like he extended his knee and changed direction.

Looks like Kuch and Tkachuck were both trying to play the puck and collide. Kuch decided to go for the hit instead.

But both players are fine, only reason this was even an issue is because Tkachuck faked being hurt.

 

[Duffy13]

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

Its a weird one. I wouldn't be surprised if he got nothing, nor would i be surprised if he got 3-5 games. I couldn't guess off that one bad angle clip how maliciously dirty or not it was.

 

[Master P]

They do. Cup squats this offseason.

Guess thats why Kuch's knee was stronger

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Every time. No honor.

You've got the perfect avi for this situation.

Kneekita Kucherov

 

[Bounces R Way]

[FinlandPanther]

Guess thats why Kuch's knee was stronger

Fair enough!

Kucherov, Game 1 of the 2021 playoffs:

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

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

I would say I feel bad but it's Matthew Tkachuk and he literally ran Flurey a few games ago.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

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

Spends enough time on them Im sure.

If Literally actually meant “not at all” you’d be correct.

 

[BKarchitect]

Glad Tkachuk isn’t hurt, but I gotta say…a little venom between rival fanbases (of awesome teams) is always a fun read, as somebody who grew up with the Avs-Wings rivalry. Hope we see some Panthers-Lightning in the playoffs.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Spends enough time on them Im sure.

He does. Cup squats.

 

[Rschmitz]

Looks like amateur hour on Kuchs part trying too hard for a hit

 

[CanadienShark]

Love Kucherov, but holy hell dude, that was awful. Only redeeming quality there is that Tkachuk was on the receiving end.

 

[Master P]

He does. Cup squats.

We've discussed this.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I get that I’m a little biased watching Tkachuk but my lord some of the crybabies who are lying in here are hilarious.

We've discussed this.

It’s not in comparison to Kuch though!

 

[Master P]

It’s not in comparison to Kuch though!

Fair enough.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

You've got the perfect avi for this situation.

I believe a similar situation is where it originated!

 

[bambamcam4ever]

I wasn't sure if this was dirty at first, but then I realized the only scenario where Kucherov would attempt to hit Tkachuk is with a dirty hit.

 

[SnS]

Not a dirty hit, just an unfortunate result.

It was a knee on knee. Dirty.

 

[Budz]

Tkachuk doesn’t throw knee shots lmao

He’s hardly a choir boy.
I said it was dirty.

 

[Master P]

It was a knee on knee. Dirty.

You are incorrect.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Fair enough.

You kind of funny

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.

Chest wasn’t even close to being hit.
