[illpucks]

Pretty much the exact same player imo. Who is better?

Close but Voracek

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Kooznetsoff pretty easily.

Voracek is garbage in the playoffs. 5 goals in 34 playoff games. Yuck.

He doesn't score enough goals for being such a high end winger.

Flyers fan voting Kuznetsov, guy was a beast in the playoffs.

voracek always disappers in the playoffs, like clockwork. that's a no-brainer.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Kuznetsov easily

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Kuzy

So far this poll represents how polarized HF is. How does a poll of 2 nearly identical players end up lopsided?

A good case where points aren't telling you the entire story.

Voracek has traditionally been a PP feaster, Caps PP doesn't run through Kuzy. Kuzy drives offense and play and scores at Even strength a lot better.

He also shows up in the playoffs unlike JV. If he played JVs role in Flyers PP he'd be a 90+ guy.

I'm not talking points. I haven't watched new Flyers much but when Jake and Claude were paired Jake would do all the zone entries very smoothly just like Kuznetsov today. His puck possession and zone entry was very similar

They're both great puck carriers. Kuznetsov is better at virtually everything else.

recency bias goes a long way around here. voted Kuzy fwiw Conn Smythe worthy performance fresh in my mind

Kuznetsov is 3 years younger, has been better than Voracek for ~3 years now, and is more likely than not to be better going forward as well

 

[Silky mitts]

Kuzy has as many points in the playoffs since he stole the puck from Crosby in game 6 as Voracek has in his career.

Jake's been my favorite player for a while now and I'm voting Kuznetsov.

Kuznetsov easily
