Wow...not even gonna pressure the puck carrier and just let them kill off the last 20 seconds standing there lmao. At least show that you somewhat care don't skate off the ice

 

[Oster]

Yeah it's not like fans and the media do the same thing EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

But kudos to the one Columbus fan who believed they would win more than two games this year.

And yet it's still just as funny every single time - especially with how obnoxious Tampa Bay fans have been going into the playoffs. Sorry I'll let you get back to booing the team.

 

[Jmo89]

That sequence of events from Hedman is straight up embarrassing. Just damn.

Yeah, I get a guy not fighting when he has injury concerns and he wasn't the guy who threw the dirty hit, but to go and mouth off at the benches afterward is in poor taste.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

Hedman comes in tough, realizes its just him and Anderson and does nothing. Then a linesmen comes in, so he slaps him. The linesman backs away and Anderson starts responding, and Hedman goes into standing turtle mode holding on for dear life. Stop me if you've heard this story before.

FIFY

 

[ThisIsMyAlibi]

Wennberg got healthy scratched AGAIN?

What a bust

 

[RalphKing]

how did it differ from kadri's hit?

He's Kuch and Kadri is Kadri. It's the NHL man.....

 

[shtorm2005]

What the hell?
Trips a guy then runs him into the boards as he's on his knees?

Someone comes knocking, his right to decline just went poof.

All Im saying hit wasn't hard. Dangerous and dirty, but weak, low energy hit. Like when girl's is pushing.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Kadri’s hit was way worse.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Wow, I missed it why does Columbus have a double minor PP?

It was a Major, knee to the head by Kucherov after CBJ player got tripped into the boards

 

[MoreMogilny]

Unbelievable. This is nuts

 

[Alex1234]

2 games min

 

[Reno]

Lmao, what a weak chirp by Hedman. Bolts are rattled as ****.

It takes guts to trash talk a team that is utterly humiliating you.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Because Kucherov became his usual rat self when adversity strikes. Hacked a Blue Jacket down and then boarded him violently when he was on his knees facing the boards.

Most star players try to produce offense to get their team going. Kucherov isn't most players though

[TCIH]

Wow...not even gonna pressure the puck carrier and just let them kill off the last 20 seconds standing there lmao.

Pathetic.

Come on, play until the last whistle.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I wish I could like this. That was always my goto move during games.

 

[mr figgles]

Kucherov out the rest of the playoffs with a 2 game suspension.

LOL!

 

[BF3]

Ain’t no thing.

 

[Lilou]

Bolts don't know what hit them. Well done Jackets.

 

[Section88]

Only baseball seems to be as unpredictable

Yeah MLB playoffs can be pretty surprising. Not quite like this though

 

[stevo61]

5 minutes of a game like this counting as "a game" is really stupid.

For sure butI feel confident thats how they will "justify" it

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

That hit by Kucherov was identical to Kadri's hit last year but was worse because he did it out of frustration (Kadri was coming to Marner's defense). And yet, the NHL is such a joke I practically guarantee no suspension for Kucherov.

 

[Leafslet]

kadri was suspended 3 playoff games last year for a hit fairly similar to this.

kuch imo should receive the same 3 games.

 

[JT Kreider]

They don't want none
