you said kucherov was not sick or dealing with anything the article I posted proved you were wrong here is the quote please read!
There is a huge difference, as your initial question (asking what the Leafs did to make Kucherov "not try") - which I also responded to - was based on a false premise.
I mean, first off, nothing "falls apart", as the PK was but one small part of the response that you picked out while ignoring everything else. And second, that's painting a much more flattering picture than what actually happened. They got some fortunate bounces in game 2 (in 7 chances) despite the PP not looking very good, but the 1st unit got shut out in games 1 (including a 5 min PP) and game 3, and despite 8 opportunities in game 4, they only scored on the 5 on 3. They also allowed a shorthanded goal in each of the first 2 games. Kucherov, in pretty visible frustration, also took a pretty stupid penalty right after their 5 min PP failed.
It was there for the taking. Went into the 3rd of game 6 with a one goal lead and tampa scored the next 4/5 goals. Series over.
Like I said, 1 player felt a bit ill before 1 game. Kind of like a milder version of how Nylander had food poisoning for 1 game.
A reoccurring theme. But it's not Dubas's fault he has to go to the bargain bin and select players that may or may not fit in, because he clearly has no clue. But that's not his fault either
I have now answered this question twice, including mere minutes ago directly to you in post #1146.
That is not true. Here it is again, for your convenience:
It's odd that you keep demanding others endlessly answer your questions that they've already answered when you're the one making a claim that you have brought zero evidence of or reasoning for.
Well at least we've made progress and you'll now acknowledge game 1, but as I discuss here:
There was more frustration than just in game 1.
It's not "generic fluff", and it applied to Kucherov as well. It's bad enough that you're demanding answers to your already answered questions instead of bringing any evidence of or reasoning for the claim that you're making, but now you're also dismissing the answer to the question you asked.
There was no evidence on the ice of your claims. Your claim isn't even about what we saw on the ice - it's making claims about the reason for what we saw on the ice, which you wouldn't have information about, and isn't supported by anybody that would.
Everything I said there was accurate, and falling back on the ol' "yeah well you're just plain wrong" instead of actually addressing anything said suggests you know that.
Blackwell I’d like to keep around on a deal that can be fully buried. Guy could be a kerfoot replacement at 1/3 the cost. I get we want to get more north south and bigger, and I’m 100% on board, but Blackwell fit in nicely and played well as a bottom 6 energy guy.
WHY ARE WE AGREEING ON THINGS NOW, ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY!!!!
Seems like you’re the one making up narratives and setting bars.
So you were diagnosing kuch’s illnesses in real time over the TV? Geez are you accepting new patients?
Symptoms sounded so clinically proven and serious, that I used your god given analysis method. Rewinded some cursed game tapes and started analyzing. After hours of tedious research work and painful soul searching of Nikita Kucherov I could isolate the disease! It is called "stamkonitis" it originates from Markham, Ontario, Toronto, but during modern days it catches it victim mostly in southern US region called Florida and more precise in Tampa Bay.
