This part:
>The skills competition was set up as some some sort of pentathlon, and it was pretty clear that Connor McDavid was going to win it. Probably having something to do with Connor McDavid designing it. Once Kucherov realized he wasn’t going to get the millions bucks, why should he care? This going on his future Hall of Fame plaque?
Kuch’s skill is reading the game at a completely different level then everyone else. He sees passing lanes and creates chances from nothing. There’s no skill competition that can replicate that.
I’m agreeing with Deadspin on something? The world has gone completely nuts
An unpopular opinion (if I’m being honest I think most people understand this and most of the hate was butt hurt leafs fans) kuch giving up did wonders for this years all stars and created a drama got allot of people talking about it that would have never even bothered to watch it (including myself). I’ve have seen More posts in r/nhl and r/hockey about kuch then Mcdavo winning the skills comp or team Mathews winning the 3 on 3 comp.
Edit: for instance I was playing battlefield when my buddy who was watching told me to stop and turn it on to see what Kuchy was doing.
The catch here is the All-Star weekend is only a farce if players act like Kuch did. It could be a fun event for fans if players were actually trying to prove something.
This is kinda silly. It’s obviously a low stakes event for the fans that are kids, kucherov didn’t expose anything. He gave no effort, it looked a little silly and that’s the end of it. To try and spin it like he exposed the event is swinging too far in the other direction of overreacting.
Imagine having a competition designed by one of the competitors and expecting any of the other competitors to give even a slight fuck about competing in it.
The whole event was garbage… Team Mathews , Team McDavid …. What the hell happened to the four division Atlantic, Metro, Pacific, Central??
I hope he gets fined and suspended like the rumors going around are saying.
The all star game is an absolute disastrous joke. It used to be a game where you got to see stars all together on two teams play a game. It would be so much better to see East vs west again.
I was a big fan of Kuch until this incident. You’re an all-star and a « professional » athlete. McDavid is better than you, so you’re going to protest and not even try? Is Kuch 10 years old? What kind of childish behavior is that?
You’re there FOR THE FANS. Not yourself. I hope he loses Hart trophy consideration over this.
I thought it was hilarious. He looked hung-over or tired, so why pretend? That’s what makes the event real! He was a real athlete chillin’! I’d also rather be on some beach instead of back at work. Cudos to him and NHL organizers. Finally some real emotion on what was otherwise a mini-popularity contest.
