This Empty Netter had announcers speechless



Nikita Kucherov continued his trend of grabbing empty netter goals to pad his stats, this time picking up a hattrick with 2 empty netters! That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!

  1. As a Canes fan, pretty embarrassed. It was clear that with a man advantage we couldn't make anything happen and with the goalie pulled, there wasn't enough will power to make a goal happen. So really why pull Anderson twice?

  2. To see Kuch as a villain is ridiculous. He is an iconoclast and eccentric but he’s no villain.

  3. Getting sick of the "old boys club" mentality in hockey. That's why the Panthers destroyed everyone, their play style was unconventional, heavy handed and entirely allowed. You should score the fuck out of an empty net if it's available, this isn't a sympathy contest.

  4. Beer league body was the most outrageous and accurate thing the announcers could have said.

  5. My question is: WHAT the FRACK is with Andersen's ugly flat red equipment??? Good grief, it looks like he jumped in the centre ice paint bin for a swim.

  6. Someone would maybe get away with calling me Cootch (Kuch) about 3 times before we would have to have a chat. Lol

  7. I'm just so happy to see Lilleberg play, warms my Norwegian heart. Can't wait for MBN play for the red wings and Solberg to play for ducks in the future!

  8. Honestly people want to hate on Kuch but most fans would trade their top 2-3 guys if it were for Kuch.

  9. I just want to point out that the Hurricanes were supposed to play today, but have been postponed because of the Hurricane.

  10. The Carolina Hurricanes were the only Hurricanes the city of Tampa has beat this month! We were lucky to have power, only about 25% of the area had power Friday Night. Probably The lowest viewership of a Tampa season opener.

  11. Something a lot of people don’t see either is that his “cherry picking” stops a lot of icings that would happen from clears. So a lot of the time he either gets the empty net goal or worst case scenario gets to the puck before the defense and keeps the clock moving

  12. Rocco Grimaldi's first hat trick for North Dakota had two empty netters. He said it was much easier to score with no goalie.

  13. That is funny! Hey we pay all this money to see a show. Who doesn’t love the post game smack talk at the coffee shop the next day. Hockey is a fantastic distraction from regular life.

  14. bro averages like 100pts a szn in today's nhl and generates at least 60% of Tampa's offense, I'd say he's earned a couple (or ten) ENs here and there lmao

  15. I’m in Tampa. Saw the scores on my phone but didn’t have a chance to see what happened. Love this. 😂 I still don’t have power, but this brings a smile to my face.
