Crosby just got tired from willing Pittsburgh into the playoffs.

 

[Avsboy]

Crosby is past his prime. Kucherov on the other hand is right now a huge choker and couldn't hold prime Crosby's jock strap.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Kuch has never been a fantastic playoff performer.
Crosby, old tired. Gave it his all this season, had nothing left. Probably knew deep down they couldn't win.

 

[jbobell98]

Kucherov yes but not really, that was a whole team collapse rather than just Kucherov. Crosby no. Dude has 3 cups and 2 smythes and highest playoff ppg amongst active players.

This is a lie though.

 

[RorschachWJK]

Crosby is simply saving himself for next years playoffs

 

[koyvoo]

I think Crosby gave a lot more effort. Things just didn’t come off. Kucherov seemed far less engaged along with the lack of production.

 

[LarKing]

Crosby was saving himself for the World Championships.

Cashing in that grace period.

 

[rocketdan9]

don't think age is much of an excuse

Ovie is ollld ... but still trucking

Pens D core needs a makeover. Letang was not very good vs Islanders

As for Kucherov.... the hockey gods punished Tampa for being too kocky

 

[Rygu]

Crosby has 3 rings and has been to the finals 4 times, what more do you want from the guy?

 

[bring back the jets]

Crosby could **** the bed every year for the rest of his career and he would just be a great player who got older. Kucherov hasn't made his mark yet though. A year like this makes you question whether or not he ever can, so I guess it does change my a view a bit.

Kucherov in the playoffs: 0.94ppg. Mcdavid in the playoffs: 0.69ppg.

Kuch is still the best player in the world but sadly his team sucks. Can’t expect him to produce much when he is so alone.

I can’t believe you have no shame in actually typing this and pressing the post reply button.

Are you ****ing serious? How can you use Kucherov playing on a “bad team” as an argument as to why he’s better then mcdavid who plays on ****ing Edmonton.

Bringing up McDavid? Why?
I’m sorry you got swept.

62 wins and his team sucks? Please don’t do this.

I think you have less self awareness than Kucherov had points this series.

Kucherov is far from a choker in the playoffs. Peep his stats.

He was electric in 2015 and 2016

His "down" playoff year last season he was PPG..


Throw that playoff choker title out too loosely

This year's implosion (2 Pts 0G in 3 GP) and suspension-worthy hit took a toll on his image. He has no Cups yet. If he get Cups then he can be mentioned in the vicinity of Crosby.

Cups mean nothing in judging players.

team sport.


Point is, Kucherov is still one of the better playoff players in the league. Did people just forget his playoffs from 15-18?

One bad run means nothing

 

[Son Goku]

LMAO the disrespect comparing Kucherov to Crosby in playoff prowess. His legend is set in stone at this point. Anything he does or did from 2017 until he retires is and will only be icing on the cake.

Tampa has the most stacked team in the league. They win as a team, they lose as a team. If anything I think what happened is a VERY clear demonstration of just how important that fact is. The whole team has to be running on all cylinders if you hope to win a playoff series.

No, I don’t think a bad four game series is going to change my opinion on Sidney f***ing Crosby.
