@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist And if you’re talking about played for MacKinnon has 1 Stanley Cup that hes played in and 1 that he’s won against Kuch on our home ice if you remember correctly soooo

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist You need a player who’s won before and can compete in the regular season AND postseason so how about you study the game and put your bias and love for Kuch to the side and understand that this is a business not an I love Kuch competition

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist So if there isn’t any Productivity in the Postseason doesn’t that mean he regresses in the postseason when things really matter? You can get to the playoffs without one player he’s not the golden goose

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist You’re arguing that a player who can’t score let alone do anything effective in the postseason should stay on a team he’s 32 not 21 he’s great in the regular season fantastic but he has 2 goals in the post season in the past 4 years he hasn’t been productive

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist We’re talking about the future dude not the past doesn’t matter how many cups someone has you need someone who can still go in the playoffs and Kuch has shown over 4 years he can’t. Point needs help and he’ll get it in the offseason working on his game telling me to play NHL26

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist Lightning need someone of that caliber that can contribute in regular season AND post season and MacKinnon or someone like him would fit the bill. But yea I’m crazy yea i have no clue what im talking about right?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist Let’s even look at MacKinnons numbers just for shits and giggles in the regular season over the past 4 years he’s scored 178 goals 316 assists 494 points and he’s a +146 and he’s won a Stanley Cup and he’s more likely winning one this year. Why does that look so bad?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist 18 goals in the past 4 years compared to Kucherovs 2

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist To argue with facts Nathan MacKinnon has scored 18 goals in the playoffs you need someone who’s won before he checks that box he’s more likely to win again this year they have a strong team theyve had a strong team the past 4 years and he’s productive in the playoffs

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist But yea I’m stupid for wanting someone like MacKinnon who can contribute all year long not just in the regular season right?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 @PointSpecialist It doesn’t even have to be MacKinnon but you want someone who’s won before and can contribute in the playoffs you’re not gonna get that with McDavid cause he hasn’t and won’t win anything but in the past 4 years Kucherov has scored 2 goals in the playoffs

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@PointSpecialist @SanitySane123 I mean if you wanna keep going with Kucherov and make it 5 years be my guest.

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@PointSpecialist @SanitySane123 Colorado and Carolina are the likely favorites to win, why not get a winner?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@PointSpecialist @SanitySane123 Who else has been to a Stanley cup final who is still in their prime and is a great leader and produces in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 It’s a team game but it’s also a business if a player doesn’t show up in the post season you get someone who can you went back to back great but you got suspended in 19’ and haven’t shown up in the playoffs since 2022. Almost didn’t make the playoffs. Shouldn’t the value go down?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 Shouldn’t a players value go down when you can’t score in the post season?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 It’s not hate but if a player only shows up in the regular season and not the post season why should his value go up?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 No fetish here and not hating just stating facts that if others can score in the playoffs can contribute and get further why can’t you?

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 Ovi showed up in the playoffs and couldn’t win Kuch disappeared and didn’t win big difference

[Mike @NHLMike94]

@SanitySane123 They thrive because they’re good at their position one player doesn’t make a team
