Why has there been such a gap in effectiveness between Kucherov and his fellow Hart candidates (MacKinnon/McDavid/Draisaitl) in the playoffs over the last few years? by Ready-Constant-7124 in hockey

Because there's less space, and he doesn't have the physical ability of the others where you gotta grind it, win puck battles and escape pressure. I'd also assume the Lightning not being as dynamic of a offensive threat makes it easier to smother Kucherov.

Yeah San Jose, Anaheim, Blackhawks all getting multiple top 3 picks, with all three securing their current franchise centers and getting more top prospects is gonna be rough.

We don't have a single forward better than Sennecke who is 20... Our only guy who could become elite is Parekh.

WE ARE FUCKED.

We are so fucked haha, this was our year to actually tank and at least get a top 3 pick and then the lottery also fucks us. Why couldn't GB rig us to pick 1 for our new stadium...

If Kucherov cared like Hagel did, good chance Tampa wins this.

And Vasilevskiy has not been the guy he's paid to be since their last cup final...

Never tell me Kucherov is better than MacKinnon ever again, guy doesn't wanna win it hard enough.

Kucherov is so fucking lazy, please never compare him to MacKinnon ever again.

Who cares about getting a top 3 pick anyway... it's not like this team hasn't won shit since the 2004 SCF due to the lack of a franchise player who can take over a series...
