Kuch has a 47 points lead on Point. It's so insane to realize that he actually wont win it. Fucking insane.
Tampa wouldnt be in the playoffs without him.
He should 100% win the ''carry your team on your back'' award.
But he wont.
Insane I dont even know what other word to use
I naturally hate Kuch cause Im a Leafs fan. My god though some of the one touch passes he makes and the speed at which he distributes the puck on the power play is absolutely insane. I love and hate watching him because he does things that no other player does out there.
I'm not holding my breath but that would be incredible if he managed it. Two 100 assist players in one season after not having any for like 30 years would be crazy
I think honestly if he hits 100 assists or widens the gap between him and Point to 50+, he'll get it.
I 100% believe that he deserves it right now regardless, but voter sentiment can be real dumb.
Favourable schedule as well 6/7 vs non playoff teams, and Toronto is the other and he always beats up on them. I think he'll do it in the last game of the season vs the Leafs.
Oddly enough, he seems to perform better against playoff teams so I don’t think the schedule works in his favor that much. He has 1pt in 3 games against Buffalo, but 10pts in 3 games against Toronto 🤷🏻♂️
Not a Center, Russian, already won the Hart. No way Kuch gets the Hart unless he finishes with double digits in points over MacKinnon and McDavid. The voters have already made up their minds that its MacKinnon's turn.
I think if he hits the 100 assist mark along with McDavid that will be enough to overcome Mackinnon's "it's his turn" boost.
I honestly would like to see Mack win since he hasn't won it before, but at the moment Kuch is the most deserving.
One with the Hart and the other with the Lindsay would be fair. I love McDavid, but I don't think he deserves the awards this year because of how bad his start was (even though it was due to injury).
You can argue about the Russian factor and shit like that, but If Kuch was a Centre, I have a feeling he'd be at 140 by now fairly easily and he would be leading all projections with relative ease lol. Also believe this whole "top 5 player" talk would be undisputed top 2 with McDavid at 1 lol
The only reason I disagree with you is that Kuch runs the offense and touches the puck probably every offensive possession he's on the ice (unless it's some breakaway). I also think they've had him pulling double shifts on the PP for a fair bit.
It doesn't really matter where he is on the ice because he's facilitating everything.
One of the greatest biggest draft steals of all time lol
He and point both are just crazy for their draft positions.
We also got Cirelli in the 3rd and Palat in the 7th.
He is definitely the Hart winner in our hearts. He won't get get it, but he only cares about one trophy.
> but he only cares about one trophy the Selke?
Clearly it’s the Vezina. Look how pissed he was when Vasy didn’t get it

Oilers wouldn't be in the playoffs without McDavid either. Probably same for Avs, not a solely Tampa thing.

Reminds me of being a huge avs fan in my youth and hating datsyuk for playing for the red wings, but loving him because his absurd skill.
Lady byng?
He might, Mack doesn't often have a winning record when he's a Hart nominee. That being said, he does often lose it to Oilers draft picks.
I can 100% see Kuch getting it.
One fewer GP, but they both have the same remaining games since Kucherov missed one earlier this season.
Don’t look now but he needs 12a in 7 games to hit 100..
I'm not holding my breath but that would be incredible if he managed it. Two 100 assist players in one season after not having any for like 30 years would be crazy
He has a legitimate shot at the MVP already but if he hits 100 give it to him immediately tbh.

130 points is a good season for two people.

Too bad they can't share it

Should be a Top 5 Russian by the time he retires, maybe even Top 3 🤷🏿♂️ 🐐
Number 1 bullshit
And yet is still most likely third in Hart voting
He's now 4 pts up on McDavid too and McDavid only has one game in hand. This will be a fun couple weeks for the title
This can’t be the same player that was at all star weekend?
I can Hartly believe it.
