Kucherov will get 2-3 games. I believe Kadri got 3 games for a similar hit last year. Just a selfish play, the guy is just as dirty as Marchand, he just doesn't get called for it.

One play doesnt make you as dirty as Marchand.

What about the Vatenen hit that he never got a suspension for?

He isn't considered as a repeated offender. He deserves to get at least one game for that.

Want me to link you the Brad Marchand slewfooting compilation? Kuch has a few, so does Crosby, Toews, even Greztky has done some stuff that would make you cringe. But Marchand is Avery calibre filth. Its not even close.

I watch a good about of TB games and he gets away with quite a bit. You can disagree and that's fine, but to me he's no different than Marchand. Oh and I'm a Bruins fan.

That deserves at least 2 games. If Kadri got 3 for his last year, Kuch probably gets 2 since his team could be done before he's back. 2 games minimum but precedent has set 3 for Kadri's hit

We'll see. 1 game should be a given, 2 games maybe but 3rd game is a bit iffy, considering that Kadri is considered more as a repeated offender compared to Kuch.

Let's say I wouldn't be surprised if the suspension is one game, since Nutivaara didn't really get injured.

To be honest I had colombus as Tb second worst match up in the east behind Washington and got colombus at 14 to 1 to win east tossed a 100 on it just for a long shot, and still a long way to go. Was banking on ufas playing for a contract and coming out party for jones and werenski

That's still a very dirty play. The suspension doesn't come from the injury, it comes from the action. Kadri got 3 and made head contact. Kucherov didn't appear to make any head contact so take 1 game off. Still should get at least 2 games

Garbage bags on the street of Naples, Italy aren't as dirty as Steve Avery was. Total azz-clown.

Yeah I think he gets 1-2 games on that hit. Dirty play no doubt.

TB little players are getting fustrated. Point dropping gloves. Kuch dirty hit. There is no room on the ice for them. They can't win the puck battles getting bullied all over the ice.

It’s the nhl he’ll get a fine ha

He’s never been Suspended or fined and it’s the playoffs i can see him being fined only. Nhl dps is a joke

Thats what happens when stop trying in last 3 months/ outta gas and no motivation/Teamwork

I don't see how they can't suspend him. It doesn't matter if it's a 1st offense. It was an intent to injure. Their little players were pissed they were getting pushed around all game.

What's wrong with TB? They can't play a heavy checking game. The Jackrts are clogging the neutral zone and that kills TB's offense. Torts is taking Cooper to the wood shed. Plus, the Jackets are deeper down the middle and on the back end.

Just a little bit of CBJ fan bias there...

TB had probably the worst game of their season. I'm just wondering why.

He also two handed an 18 year old kid in the nuts and got NOTHNG two years ago. Kucherov is dirty.
