Nikita Kucherov is the clear favorite for the Art Ross Trophy

[Mitch nylander]

Crazy there's a guy who's gonna score over 65 which hasn't been done since Lemieux, a guy who's gonna get 100 assists which has only been done by gretzky/lemieux/orr. + that doesn't even take into account mack.

Yet I still think Kucherov is clear-cut the Hart winner.

1 point in 2 games since taking the Art Ross lead for about an hour isn’t going to cut it, McDavid.

Upcoming 3 pt game

Nice hit from behind by Kucherov. What a slime ball.

He does it all.

 

[hamzarocks]

think kucherov secures the hart+ross+lindsay if Mack and Mcdavid dont each have 3 pts in their current/upcoming game

6 pts up on Mcdavid and 4 on Mack

 

[DFC]

ya cool the team fans he plays for like him. I doubt he cares about any of you tbh. Ill be bitter if he wins anything this year. Looks bad on the game when clowns like him win anything.

Let go Nathan! Pick it up buddy send this clown packin!

I don't think he cares about anything but cups to be honest. I've never seen a guy who so clearly hates losing as much as him. And it's contagious.

I think the Art Ross race is still anybody's game. McDavid can blow up for 6 on any given night. But I'm noticing Kucherov's case for the Hart Trophy getting more and more momentum in the mainstream hockey media, mostly because the story on how much TB sucked until the TDL is getting out.

I think the Lindsay goes to McDavid. That one seems to just go to the best player. Hart is supposed to be about the most valuable to his team, and I think it's hard to argue against Kucherov given how absolutely atrocious TB was until 10 games ago. He single-handedly outscored their problems enough to keep them in a playoff spot.

 

[Hoek]

I see folks are still falling for the "look right at the guy who is about to hit you and then turn into the wall" routine. Fortunately the refs didnt

 

[ViD]

Kuch at 132

 

[JukofYork]

He makes you mad though.

I wouldnt say mad. More disgusted.

Speak for yourself.
I’d be happy seeing a great player like Kuch win more hardware. The guy hates to lose just like Mack and McDavid. Got to admire that.

 

[Shroud of Orrin]

133

 

[Albatros]

Kucherov 90 assists with 6 games to go.

 

[kp61c]

was looking forward to an empty net point, well done.

 

[Felidae]

For everyone complaining about empty net points for Kucherov. Here's how each of Mackinnon, Kucherov and McDavid perform against the best vs worst teams.

 

[T REX]

Should be suspended for his hit tonight. Gutless.

What? Why?

 

[NateTheGreat]

Kucherov now has 5 more EN points than Mack and 8 more than McDavid. Also, for those saying they think Kuch is the favourite for the Hart, check out the betting markets.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

kucherov with 3 points and he killed some guy no one has ever heard of. A+++ game for kuch.

Now 5 more EN points than Mack and 8 more than McDavid. Also, for those saying they think Kuch is the favourite, check out the betting markets.

Yeah. I agree it’s super cool. He’s got more regular points than them too. Hes the point guy.

 

[WarriorofTime]

It’s amusing when McDavid made his initial surge everyone was like “well there you go. McDavid will win by double digit points” as though Kucherov and MacKinnon were some Jonathan Huberdeau level players on fluke seasons that couldn’t sustain their pace.

Leading scorer in NHL has more points than the 2nd and 3rd place guys.

Remarkable

 

[NateTheGreat]

Touched a nerve with the empty net stats

Nice, yet another category he leads those clowns in

 

[Mr Kot]

Man, I kind of feel sorry for Mac if he loses this art ross. He has needed some individual hardware to round out his resume, but it could get stolen away.

 

[NateTheGreat]

Get that hate out ya heart

 

[crowfish]

Kucherov finds a an empty net point in a game where his team is up 6-2 heading into the 3rd lol. Add that in with the assist he got the other night and it's just crazy how lucky he is running.
