League News: 2018-19 NHL Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff) Vol. 3

Yea...I don't get the anti Kucherov movement. Its weird.

It’s the flag next to his name. Old school North American / Canadian xenophobia should never be underestimated, especially when the player in question is Russian.

 

[Ridley Simon]

So is the debate between:
Kucherov — by far the top point getter and leading his team to a Presidents trophy

McDavid — terrific talent on a bad team that won’t make the playoffs

Kane — terrific talent on a bad team that won’t make the playoffs

Is that the debate? Seriously?

i enjoy kucharovs season... especially because the mcdavid homers basically awarded the hart/art ross throphy to him when the season started. now they have to go full denial to form logical arguments for mcjesus to win it. the same goes for the na lovers making mental gymnastics... selke for crosby !!! dear lord. these are the people that loudly protested ovi should not win anything in his 65 goal campaign in case they miss the playoffs... and even they had to shutup when the caps indeed successfully made a comeback for a playoff spot.

and now kucharov... on his way to a season crosby/mcdavid will never reach... its going to be fun reading comments in the future that try to talk this fact down. the timing fits as well... right when they thought the future belongs to prime mcdavid... a russian comes along and ruins the fun hahahah

They have lost 13 of the last 14 against the Penguins, i don't expect that to change tonight.

Bobrovsky is out tonight. So..there might be a chance.

Oh stop with that Nationalism BS. Imo such a weak copout argument almost always presented by non-North Americans around here as a knee-jerk reaction. It’s gets f***ing ooooolllld. Just face it, people have their favorites. I’m sure their are PLENTY of North-American fans of Kucherov.

I could care less who wins, but I’d say Kuch deserves it given the separation in the scoring title lead and his team’s standing.

There’s always going to be a debate, wise or not. That’s what armchair GM’s do.

Bobrovsky won't even dress for CBJ. Korpi/Kinkaid.

CBJ makes a lot of ballsy moves. Almost hope it pays off for them.

Also Mike Green is done for the season apparently with hep.

Yikes, CBJ are a disaster. They know the Penguins are in Bob's head and they have no confidence in him.
