Nikita Kucherov Takes Huge Hack At Jean-Gabriel Pageau On Empty Netter

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov takes a huge swing to the feet of Jean-Gabriel Pageau to prevent him from scoring an empty net goal and a tussle ensues.

Kuch is really good but he cheap shots people too much like last year when he kicked someone

[justingrenier]

oh boy that sneaky pitchfork in the nuts by kucherov right as he pockets the empty netter yikes

[LoganShanny]

wow, can't believe the league hasn't suspended Tom Wilson for this

[wesleyellis]

Slashing the legs isn’t necessarily a big deal. Slashing between them however is something that does earn suspensions. I’ve seen multiple videos of Marchand getting suspended for that. Granted his was obvious

[ozzydo]

Kucherov falls apart once any adversity presents itself.

[vernieistooold]

If Kucherov is going to hack someone like that, he needs to man up and drop the gloves. Don't wait for his teammates to rescue him.

[viralsation]

He went from Clutcherov to Cheapherov real quick

[TheRoguesource]

Kuch is such a dirty player. Embarrassing

[danielstern]

It's really sad to see such talented players waste there skills cuz they have to through temper tantrums when something doesn't go there way 🤷‍♂️ you already know the puck is going in but you decide to make a stupid careless penalty that is gonna put a target on your back for the rest of the series

[beckobert]

Pageau must be one of those players everybody loves to have on his team. Always plays with heart and always plays for the team.

[zzii]

woah, Kucherov shamelessly sitting on the bench, that hack was very unsportsmenship

[MaverickWall]

DIRTY play. There's no place for this. Imo he should get suspended.

[BobBigWheels]

That should be a game suspension. It was an attempt to injure to me.

[donaldrailedurmom]

Kuch is great but does some stupid things when it dosent go his way 😂

[БлагоВсем-ою]

Blue plez, you can see.
The stick was clear, but the fight was started by another?

Синий плез, видно же.
Клюшкой понятно зацеп был, но драку начал другой?

[doug]

Kry baby Kucherov.
Better keep his head up.

[conorwreckoner]

Islanders were after Kuch the whole game tryin to injure the best player on the team, so I’m ok with this. I hope Maroon kicks some asses in game 4

[madmoney]

Pageau take a huge hit to Kucherov's hand, in the end of 1st period. Simple "revenge"

[ScotchDrinkerBH]

He should be suspended this is so unsportsmanlike

[Aznfella]

I miss stuff like this in hockey. 😉😉👌👌👌. So much
