lets hope they aren't down playing it. Wouldnt put it past this organization to tell us he will be back... but then he isnt. ha. but this is encouraging.
Would your money be on Kuznetsov playing next week or sitting out all 3 games?
I was looking at the historical list of head coaches that have won the Cup and for the vast majority, they seem to all have one common trait. A lot of emotion and fire in their personalities that they apply to refs and their players that turns into positive results. I've always wondered about Barry's calm and non-panic approach he tries to instill in his team and his desire to always look professional but his teams seem to lack a lot of passion and fire especially in key moments. Maybe that personality transfers to the players and their approach on the ice. Have a look at the list and comment if you have other theories as to what does or doesn't work.

The last thing I wanted was a built in reason for Kuznetsov to come up small in the playoffs.
Based on what they were doing, saying, whos to say they didn't?Back in the old days they'd just do lines of coke before the game.
You're hopeless. He was one of their strongest performers in 2 out of 3 postseasons he's been a part of (and in the other it can be argued he didn't put up numbers due to poor puck luck) but keep on banging that stupid narrative drum of yours.
Regular season ppg vs playoff ppg:Your hero's point per game drops way off in the playoffs. Being a half point per game player is great is great if you are on the 3rd line. Never good enough for someone that should be leading the team. You say puck luck. I say his production drops so much from lack of space and being a fancy perimeter player. I hope for your sake you get to see at least one fancy twister pass before its over.

Regular season ppg vs playoff ppg:
Backstrom .98 vs .78
Ovechkin 1.12 vs .93
Oshie .69 vs .56
Kuznetsov .76 vs .49
Obviously Kuznetsov's ppg total drops the most in terms of total points, but that is mainly due to his bad 2015-16 postseason. Take that out and he's at .63 ppg in the playoffs. He had 10 points in 13 games last year, good for third on the team behind Backstrom and Oshie. It's easy to nitpick his production when he has one bad postseason out of the three he's played in.
