Kuznetsov Under Fire For His Latest Shootout Attempt

Last night's shootout between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes showcased Evgeny Kuznetsov's signature slow-motion move, which he's famous for.

However, his prolonged attempt, taking over 10 seconds, prompted criticism from fans.

While shootouts may not be everyone's favorite way to conclude a hockey game, they remain part of the sport and can provide entertainment. The Hurricanes and Maple Leafs were forced into a shootout after a thrilling comeback by the Hurricanes in the final minutes of the game.
