Kucherov is amazing. He’s not McDavid. No one is.
Well one guy is
Kucherov is amazing. He’s not McDavid. No one is.
Oil can't get past Hawks or Jets in round 1 and that isn't on McDavid (or Drai).
I'd argue he gets more TOI because after Drai and RNH the Oil don't have any major offensive talent.The other side of this which people gloss over is that McDavid gets more O zone starts and more overall TOI. Kucherov has a great supporting cast but he still has to produce with fewer opportunities
Or make him mad and get him suspended.Yep, what makes Kucherov so special is that he can destroy you from a mostly stationary position. Even when not scoring, Kucherov causes psychological damage on the other team with misdirection and his creativity. A team like the Isles who have a very simple but strict and effective system gets thrown out of sync because of it. To beat Kucherov, you have to abandon your structure and pressure him or else he'll figure out a chink and exploit it eventually.
for most NA fans it is same countryNow im asking this: If Kucherov were Slovak and McDavid were from Slovenia, what then?
I think he more means if McDavid wasn't Canadian, but he plays a flashy game Canadians love like Bure .for most NA fans it is same country
He still had 2+ times better PPG vs Jets in the regular, than in the playoffs...
Ovi played for presidents trophy winning teams, remember? 3 times they finished top of the league.McDavid would get much more criticism if he wasn't Canadian. Remember when Ovi failed to pass 2'd round of Playoffs for a long time?

Oh, you're saying McDavid hasn't been criticized?Not always. When Ovi lost in 2'd round of playoffs in 2009 Caps weren't President Trophy winners, but Ovi still got criticized for that loss.
I want Canadiens to keep the same energy.

"A pass" for what, exactly? What was expected from the Oilers this year?Of course. HFBOARDS users give him a pass everytime.
They should have been able to beat Jets but they got swept 0-4."A pass" for what, exactly? What was expected from the Oilers this year?
Right, the playoff loss should be looked at as a failure.They should have been able to beat Jets but they got swept 0-4.

Do you think it compares to the 2019 TBL upset where Kucherov got himself suspended?
Agree. Perhaps you're not looking hard enough to see criticism against McDavid.Yes. Kuch got a fair criticism for 2019 Playoffs failure.
But McDavid seems never get any criticism that Ovi received before he won the Cup. Sometimes people are biased.
