Evgeni Kuznetsov vs Alex Burrows

[illpucks]

Legendary playoff moments. These moments are nearly identical. One franchise always beating up on the other. Finally they beat that franchise. Both in OT. Both opponents that won cups going through the other.

Which moment means more to you, and which moment was more significant?

This is nowhere close to the same thing. Caps and pens have been doing this for ever.

Hawks and canucks have only played 3 times in 23 years

Caps and pens have played 9 times in 23 years

Well Pens fans will say that their 2009 team means nothing now when discussing our modern team. So i'm going with what the Pens did to the caps in 2016, 2017 to what Hawks did to Canucks in 2009,2010

And the calls are very similar. Finally!!

Vancouver and Chicago's rivalry didn't start until the '08-'09 season, but since the question is which one means more TO ME, obviously Burrows since I'm a Canucks fan.

Neutral fans will likely vote for Kuznetsov as it's a longer-standing and, arguably, bigger rivalry (plus east coast bias plus non-Canucks fans hate Burrows)

Burrows goal is ultimately meaningless. They choked the cup away.

Kuzys goal enabled them to go on a cup run...and win ( I got Caps).

Furthermore, Chicago had beaten them twice. Pens have been haunting the Caps for decades.

My sources are pretty sketchy though...

Burrows goal was enormous. I think outsides will vote Kuznetsov ainec, but both goals are gigantic

30 year rivalry + 10 series between then two + pens coming off 2 championships vs 3 year rivalry + hawks coming off 1 championship

Read post 3. And also Hughson makes them sound the same.

30 year rivalry.. aside from Jagr and Howe which player can stay in the league for 30 years?

The Canucks - Hawks rivalry had more animosity and hatred

Vancouver fans will say Burrows and Washington fans will say Kuznetsoz - and both for good reason. The others will vote Kuznetsov because of hatred for Burrows. There are clearly more Washington fans in the forum these days than Vancouver fans, so.....

the Burrows goal and celebration were better.

lmaoo

 

[Armourboy]

I wouldn't even put them in the same ball park.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Burrows' goal got me in tears of joy.
Kuznetsov's? Not so much, but he definitely showed elite skill then.

I hate kuznetsov because of his offending bird cellys. League should suspend him for it.

Haters gonna hate.

Depends on if the Caps win. If Vegas wins, it’s a toss up

The Penguins/Capitals without a doubt have more history. But Vancouver/Chicago was more interesting for a few reasons. The hatred the two teams had for eachother was one, and Luongo was the other. Choked in big moments two years in a row. Vancouver goes up 3-0 in the series in 2011 and it looked like it was going to be an easy win and Luongo once again hits a wall and all of a sudden the Hawks were one shot away from pulling off the miracle comeback. Both great rivalry’s for their time tho.

Burrows easily
