By the same people saying he is under rated.... who would have thought. It is almost like you don't understand context.
Tampa gets tons of coverage.
Exceptions are obviously made for the team with a zillion points. The Panthers are not that team.
Yet you claim he gets no love from the NHL in a poll where NHL players voted him the 5th best forward. Ironic.
Until there's a goalie who year in and year out is in the Vezina convo players will take the simple easy choice based on memory of the last guy to be like that. Also, when Price is on he makes it look so simple and easy it's depressing for the opposition. Like bang bang play, cross ice seam pass picture perfect roofed finish, most goalies might get a flailing hand on it luckily, but Price is already there bored and waiting and easily deflects the puck wide.
Goalies whose asscheeks pucker up when Weber is about to step into a slapshot?
You do understand there is a difference between NHL players and people that control the NHL media right? I shouldnt be expected to explain this to someone i am assuming is an adult.
I like how you wenty from "only resides" to exceptions so fast. its like you just say shit to hear yourself talk.
You said the NHL. I would assume you are talking about people in the NHL?
I'm actually typing. What's got your panties in a wad anyway? Am I not typing enough about New York?
Don’t even bother talking to this guy. His only way to argue is to mock opinions of other posters rather than have constructive debate and sometimes he goes so far by starting calling others stupid while he disagrees. He has a tunnel vision which is extreme example of stupidity. He thinks he is smarter than everyone but in reality smartest guys are those who likes to listen/read other posters point of views and respect them. Disagreeing is healthy and good for debating at these forums. Shutting down other opinions complitely makes you really vulnerable because even smartest people are wrong sometimes and they don’t want to look stupid. Respecting other opinions while disagreeing is like having 2 horses in a 2 horse race.
yawn... no more time for someone who thinks of NHL players when talking about NHL media.
This is just factually wrong and has been proven time and time again to be wrong.
I think reputation is a very strong consideration here. Also - players are very conservative (which is why Crosby and Price always do well). Going into this year most would argue McDavid > Kucherov quite easily. If Kucherov wins end season awards, and if he does well in playoffs and can have a comparable year next year - i guarantee you he'll be at the top with McDavid in the poll next year.
McDavid has now earned his own 'grace period' compared to Kucherov
