No, cherry picking is looking at one game or a small selection of games and making a determination based largely on that. What I did was show that he's clearly still doing just fine at ES through the ENTIRE reg season. Heck, you can look at his lines numbers without Kucherov if you want, 64% GF%, 58% SCF%, 61% HDCF%, doesn't scream PP specialist there either. There really isn't much basis in the claim that he's a PP specialist. He may not be the force he once was, but he's still very much and effective player in all situations that other teams need to key in on.
You’re right about the cherry picking, but you’re definitely stat-watching though. I ask you again for the 3rd time, did you watch the majority of his games in the playoffs?
How is he not a PP specialist with so many points and especially goals on the PP? That’s not a bad thing...
And again, why are you using regular season stats? Most important time of the year is the PLAYOFFS, and my chiming in is has to do with that, his play these playoffs doesn’t scream game breaker. Definitely still 1st liner obviously, but far from good enough to carry his team. He was disappointing, there’s no way around that. Saying “yeah but he had 16 pts in 17 gms” to try and prive that he was as good as he should have been is just foolish if you didn’t actually watch the games.
