Should the Leafs pull a ‘Kucherov’ if Matthews’ injury lingers? | OverDrive



Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Jamie McLennan from OverDrive are joined by TSN Hockey analyst Mike Johnson to discuss the likelihood of the Maple Leafs pulling a ‘Kucherov’ with Auston Matthews and pushing his injury status to the playoffs so they could use his cap space before the deadline.

  1. It would good for that to happen and to see what we can do, but I think Matthews will be back and good to go for the rest of the season and the playoffs

  2. Lol I love how the Blackhawks did the same thing when they won the cup and no one talks about it, but when Tampa, the team that wanted to get rid of it, does it, it’s all like “oh they didn’t deserve it” like the fuck kind of hypocrisy is that. Side note it doesn’t matter if the Leafs do it they’ll still be gone first round since they aren’t a playoff team

  3. It’s not a “Kucherov” lol it’s literally just using LTIR like every other team

  4. If they can add a significant piece by the deadline and get mathews just in time for playoffs oufff! That would be a solid way to use their cap space.

  5. No!!! If the Leafs win a cup, I want no cheating involved to do it. Save that for Tampa and Chicago

  6. I love this video at large❤❤,. you remind me of what someone once said.. " Making money is an Action, keeping money is behavior, Growing money is Knowledge" . I once attended seminar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth….

  7. What is a "Kucherov?'". Typical Canadian demeaning a Superior Russian player. As a Devils fan since day one in 82 and Russian hockey fan since 79 when I was 6 yrs old in Philthy, PA (Flyers Suck)…if there is one player (except goalie) that I could add the the Devils it be Kucherov or Hagel. Kucherov has played with horrible injuries and still is the best player on the ice

  8. As an islanders fan this ain’t even funny. It shouldn’t be allowed. Possibly lost us 2 cups, so you know how much that hurts?!
