In all seriousness and leaving Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky out of this... Kucherov learned his lesson. His team went from a historic winning season to a historic upset. Can’t feel worse than that. So he learned plenty.

Think it was a silly question, I mean what is he 9 yo in school? Bad Kuch, you are a bad boy, go to the corner. No Stanley cup for you.

HF overreacting doesn't mean his response wasn't ****ing stupid and completely tone deaf. It just causes more questions for him and his teammates.

Yes, but when your team dominates the RS and you lead with 128 points expectations are high.

If that team gets swept in first round — and let’s face it, it wasn’t even a very tight series either — and you produce next to nothing and you also hurt your team with a suspension stemming from a mindless cheapshot during garbage time in a blowout.... you are going to get some criticism. If you want to be the best, you have to shoulder the criticism when it goes badly south.

You say he learned his lesson? Maybe, maybe not. Won’t know until next season and beyond. We shall see.

Why would he?

Kadri obviously hasnt learned either and his suspensions are always weak ass and never increase even though he constantly targets players heads and apparently the league takes that VERY serious lol

Alot of players dont learn their lesson. Its a fast game and its very easy to quickly lose your temper

Sounds like a sarcastic response. Like someone asking/telling McDavid “you’re officially eliminated from the playoffs but the team is gelling well. How do you feel?”

Well he got a warning and a suspension. If he does it again, it’s going to be a lot more than just one game. Some players never learn like the Wilson’s and Kadri’s , I am curious when Marchand will have his next shennigans, but so far he has cleaned up his act. Only time will tell.

This could come back to bite him if he's ever in front of the DPOS again, but that just makes me like him more :laugh:

Couldn’t agree more. Marchand has been a slow learner, but at least for now he’s towing the line. He’s been slow footed twice in Toronto series and so far is keeping his cool and making a difference on the ice. Maybe he’s learning. Hope so.

That series is now a best of 3, so it’s going to get instense the next couple of games, if he keeps his cool, will earn a lot of respect from fans. Kucherov lost his cool, and it cost him and his team.

Question was stupid, baiting.

Answer was stupid, taking the bait.
Exactly. Unfortunately the question was from a press guy looking for response. Mission accomplished.

On the other hand Kucherov is a multi-million dollar player underscoring impression that he is selfish player who hurt his team.

Lol the HF reaction is way more dumb than his answer. The guy is just upset and doesn't want to talk to the media, that's it.
maybe instead of taking it out on the media, he should of came prepared for the playoffs. what an abysmal performance from a supposed "hart" candidate. "iM mAd"...who cares nikita, face the music, you choked.

Totally. How do people not get this. Screw off little media guy, I lost and I'm upset. Go away with your dumb questions.
