J’ai vu trois sondages en ligne pour savoir qui devrait remporter le titre de MVP. Certes, cela ne représente rien en termes de vote réel de Hart, mais cela correspond à ce que pensent la plupart des fans de hockey, d’autant plus qu’ils ont des échantillons de si grande taille. Les trois sondages ont donné à peu près le même résultat. MacKinnon ~ 45 %, McDavid et Kucherov n’ayant qu’une différence de 1 à 2 %, le reste étant constitué d’autres joueurs (je n’ai pas pu trouver le troisième sondage). Kucherov étant proche de la troisième place est une prise vraiment insensée, et cela devient fatiguant à ce stade d’essayer de montrer cela aux autres. Le prix Hart est décerné au joueur « le plus précieux », et non au meilleur joueur puisqu’il s’agit de Ted Lindsay. McDavid et MacKinnon n’ont pas un argument aussi bon que Kuch, puisqu’il a été un facteur dans plus de 50 % des buts du Lightning et a entraîné cette équipe en donnant des coups de pied et en criant jusqu’à une place en séries éliminatoires. C’est tout simplement triste que nous assistions peut-être à la meilleure saison d’un ailier de l’histoire de la LNH, et nous pourrions assister à l’un des plus grands snobismes de récompenses, simplement à cause de BS biaisés.

I apologize for adding to the whole Hart discussion stuff that this sub is probably tired of seeing at this point, as I know I am. Just needed to vent without having a shit ton of trolls in the replies saying “Kuch Empty Net/PP/Secondary Assist Merchant”, because it’s everywhere in comment sections now.
MacKinnon is a Canadian. Canada hasn’t had a cup in forever, so the media is grasping for any minuscule excuse to say “Yea, canada!” Never mind that the Lightning are not a team, an organization and a fan base to be sneered at. Never mind that Kuch is the Jedi master of hockey players and MacKindergarten and McDindglberry are mere apprentices they will never achieve full master status.
It’s not that they’re anti-russia, it’s just that they’re not pro russia, it’s more of an anti-Tampa thing, because the media and all of r/hockey have no problem dick-riding putin’s boyfriend.
If Kuch were Canadian and played for montreal there would be an article everyday about how _he’s_ actually the best player in the league and nobody works harder, instead we have nhl.com running a « ross tracker » that’s literally just a blog about how they’re cheering for MacK to catch Kuch.
They’re giving the Hart to Mack, it’s been decided for months, they’re praying he nabs the Art Ross so they can convince themselves they were going for him for the right reasons all along.
People just hate the Lightning because we’re the second furthest south team in the league and we’ve been real successful over the past however many years.
I’m surprised you’re not used to it by now.
#1 Bullshit – 2024 Edition
You know, this narrative that Kuch is dragging the Lightning kicking and screaming into the playoffs is a bedtime story we tell non-Lightning fans to pump up our guy, but it’s just not true. Maybe in the first three months of the season it may have been, but we’ve played really well in January and March. I mean, pointer has 44 goals, stammer 39, Hagel, Paul and Cirelli have 20+ goals, and we have 9 total players with double digit goals. Heddy has 76 points ffs, Vasy 30 wins despite missing the first couple of months and the top power play in the league. But if this story gets our guy the Hart, more power to it.
Kuuuch!
No way Kuch is getting the Hart after the all star game stuff. Don’t get me wrong I love the guy. I also don’t think he cares, there’s only one piece of hardware Kuch can get yacht drunk with and that’s his goal!
Cup. Boat Parade. Repeat.
I personally think it’s a lot of anti Russian stuff. There’s an obnoxious amount ignorant hockey fans and people who think that being Russian automatically means you’re evil. (Trust me, as a queer hockey fan I could literally open my mouth and automatically offend people.) It’s just crazy. On top of this, there’s lots of big anti Tampa fans in the nhl fan base. I think it comes from traditionalists, people who believe hockey should only be in cold places, or the “true north” as some folks say. (Not gonna lie, I love unconventional hockey markets.) But all this anti this, anti that? All a load of #1 bullshit if I say so myself.
It’s also an anti-Florida bias. Small market gets no love
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t think it’s anti-Russian or anti-Florida bias. I think it’s anti-Lightning fan bias. Y’all are the worst
#1 bullshit
Not even kidding, him winning the Ross but losing the hart, or even barely losing both the races will ignite a playoff kuch we may have never seen before. Imagine that. Number 1 bullshit followed by proof as to why the decision was bullshit.
Kuch didn’t gain himself any support at the all star gsme. I know that has no bearing on the award but it doesn’t help his image at all
NUMBER 1 BULLSHIT
If you vote for mvp based on your criteria than your basically trying to find the best player on a crappy team??
Maybe connor bedard then, he’s the only guy on the team you can watch so has to be valuable.
Or where would pens be without Crosby? no where near the playoffs.
It needs to go to the best player. Mackinnon got robbed when Taylor hall won it when for some reason puck daddy Greg Wyshynski wrote an article just before voting talking about how good Hall was that year.
As far as best players Mackinnon and McDavid are a tad better then Kucherov. They both have the ability to dazzle with their speed to go along with great vision, stickhandlong shooting and Mackinnon also is the most physical of the three.
Honestly. I see the argument for McDavid over kuch. Only like 3 players ever in this history of the nhl have had over 100 assists in a season. McKinnon on the other hand. Fuck that. It should go to kuch. But mcdavid achieving such a rare feat earns the trophy imo. Assuming he hits 100 assist
The Hart is cool, but the Ted Lindsay is voted on by the Players and I think Kuch wins that this year regardless of what the media tries to spin for the Hart.
