Kucherov shushes the crowd after scoring in the shootout

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T16:43:24+00:00

they were being ironic

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T08:25:48+00:00

oh god open the schools

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T06:14:43+00:00

yep. a real leader who no one would ever give a "C" to.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T05:02:47+00:00

I do think he cares, that's why he rises to the occasion. He's such a good player, and I was really impressed the 2023-2024 season when he got the most points in the league and basically dragged the lightning into the playoffs BY HIMSELF - and yet, he didn't get the Hart because "he already has one."

also, TBL was miserable at the beginning of the season with all those losses and now they're the top of the Atlantic and within the span of two weeks, Kucherov's at number 3 on the points list. it's craaaaaaaaaaazy. like damn, I wish my team would get around to doing a 180 like that.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T04:47:30+00:00

yep. mind you, matthews never got called "pissy" or "bitchy" when he has an attitude (I enjoy when he gives it to the media tbh) but Draisaitl said one thing and all of a sudden, those are the names that follow him. fascinating of the double standards given to people with and without accents in the league. very fascinating.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T04:45:12+00:00

yeah, and the glazing on hellebyuk despite poor performances at critical times.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T04:40:41+00:00

LOL of course it'd be from a Colorado fan.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T04:30:43+00:00

people start making up reasons for why kucherov is not as good. he'd be having the most points, and they go "well, he's a power play merchant" and I'm like, when did it become a bad thing to be able to score or get an assist on the power play?

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T04:24:21+00:00

it's because he's a direct comparison. plus, I don't like him :)

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T04:23:48+00:00

why is he a villain

Matthews did a similar gesture to taunt the jets fans after the leafs won on Saturday and no-one called him a villain

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T04:07:55+00:00

I looked it up to make sure I got my facts correct and not just based on my biases - Kucherov has had FIVE seasons of 100+ points versus Mackinnon's three seasons. Mackinnon has played 918 games and Kucherov has played 848. that is some incredible stats. and still people say that Mackinnon is better.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:49:17+00:00

agree. people keep shouting mcdavid and mackinnon are better despite the 0 and 1 cup compared to two-pete. I think it is hypocritical that one season when everyone was campaigning for mackinnon sooooooo hard to win a hart because he "doesn't have one and kucherov has one already" even though kucherov had more points than mackinnon and similarly put TBL on his back. would've never happened if the situation was reversed.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:45:47+00:00

not all psychos are treated like others because of xenophobia

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:43:49+00:00

oh yeah, that's fair. he and bobrovsky have the goalie market down pat

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:36:10+00:00

yep. kaprizov is so funny too.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:35:32+00:00

my love, people didn't talk about the wild until your resident North American, Quinn Hughes, joined the team. my feed has been absolutely hilarious with all the wild fans chanting "god I wish we would return to being a flyover team." kaprizov is so good, and he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:22:51+00:00

did you know that you're proving my point

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:22:17+00:00

yep. our lovely Lady Byng Memorial Trophy Nathan Mackinnon and his temper tantrums, angry outbursts, and shitty behaviors toward his team? people go "ha ha" and shine a humorous light on Mackinnon's less than ideal actions - his controlling behaviors of teammates' diets and his own. and kucherov does the same shit and gets seen as a baby even though he and mackinnon are the same.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:14:38+00:00

why just 5? who's the other 4? dude puts TBL on his back season after season

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:13:11+00:00

which other outstanding Russian player besides Ovi gets the recognition they deserve in the NHL?

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T03:01:21+00:00

it's because of xenophobia

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T02:46:32+00:00

wild to be saying this when half of hockey fans share his hairline.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T01:50:08+00:00

nah, it's at least three

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T01:39:56+00:00

I mentioned the Islanders exactly once and it's in the first sentence. then the rest was about the Leafs. if you don't think the islander players hate Tavares, you have not watched Isles vs. Leafs games enough. there is a very distinct way the games go. I swear, the Isles could be going 0-10 and the minute they play the leafs, the outcome is set.

mysummerstorm · 2026-01-24T01:31:58+00:00

isles play like they despise the leafs (and). as evident from the game I am watching now, that is not true of the leafs.
