Nikita Kucherov Under Fire For His Efforts At The All-Star Events
The NHL All-Star weekend, celebrated for its entertaining displays, took an unexpected turn for Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov. During the skills competition, Kucherov's notably lackluster effort has sparked major criticism, with potential repercussions for the star player.
According to Elliotte Friedman, a source expressed the belief that Kucherov's subpar performance in the All-Star Skills Competition should impact his chances at the Hart Trophy, despite his stellar regular-season performance.
A source approached Friedman and believed #Lightning F Nikita Kucherov's lack of effort in the All-Star Skills Competition should cost him the Hart Trophy, despite putting up an elite regular season thus far.
The only reason I feel the need to throw this post out is that if Friedman feels the need to mention it, it's likely a higher-up in the #NHL, or potentially even someone who gets a vote when it comes to player awards.
Friedman's mention of this on the "32 Thoughts" podcast suggests that this sentiment may come from a higher-up in the NHL or someone with voting influence in player awards.
As we wonder if Kucherov's lack of effort could impact his Hart Trophy chances, Nathan MacKinnon is currently in the lead. If things change, this adds an interesting twist to the conversation about the league's most valuable player.
Stay tuned for updates as the NHL deals with this unexpected storyline.
