As a flyers fan, Kuch has been my favorite player in the league for years. His style of play is just so different from like 95% of the league. Where as everyone else wants to just be as fast as possible, Kuch says "na" and slows it down. I think it throws off a lot of players.
This channel doesn't get the recognition it deserves either, keep going because these videos are unmatched!!
Love to hear it! We promise to continue to produce quality videos instead of just "reading the news". Share our channel and socials as much as you can and nice profile picture. TB12!
MVP
One-touch passing in hockey is such an underrated skill. It's a lot harder to one-touch pass like how Kuch does with his precision and vision than it is to onetime a shot on net. And, even more impressive is that Kuch can do it no matter the speed of the puck. As a Panthers fan, I still enjoy watching his playmaking even when it's against us because it's things that seem easy until you try it
How many one-touches did he have just last night? It was wild. Also his ability to go from boards-to-stick is also unmatched. Apparently he practices that a lot and not sure how many other players are focusing in on that.
Kuch really is underrated
This channel is so underrated and under appreciated. Great insight. Regarding Kuch they are spot on & his board play is 2nd to non in today’s game. Even “the great one” is amazed. Gretzky has said he hasn’t anybody as close to himself with the vision, and processing ability to set up scoring chances. Amazing talent.
He has made a couple of behind the back passes from the boards on his knees this year that were ridiculous.
Sweet video boys. He reminds me so much of Datsyuk in the way that you just can’t predict what he’s gonna do with the puck and when he does do something you can’t believe he had the vision to actually make that play. And seeing it in slow motion afterwards it’s still mind bending. Like you said even when watching on TV and being able to see the whole ice you can’t believe where his playmaking IQ is at.
Something I legit noticed last night too is I feel like many times he's aiming just to miss defenseman's sticks. Knowing as long as it gets through his teammate can make the adjustment. He made a few of those last night and it was wild to see
Awesome video guys! You earned another subscriber, and like other comments say, please don’t stop!
Don't worry we are just getting going. Share with your friends and let us know if you have a video request.
This could be a 30 minute video and it would still be too short. His IQ is incredible and it all comes from his work ethic.
100% agree - as we grow we will be able to make longer videos too. Just need to build our base first. A full on Kuch player profile is needed.
About "Lucky" points that he got - over the course of a season there are bound to be such points just as there are a lot ot missed one because teammates were not ready|were not good enough|straigt up ruined their chances. Most of Tampa offence runs through Kuch and over the season it accumulates to a full highlight video of "wtf, hes so lucky". Could also make a way longer video of "how did that not go in, kuch set this up perfectly".
I think you just gave us another great video idea!
@@AlongTheIceHockeyDO IT!!!! That sounds amazinggg
@@AlongTheIceHockey 🙏
NHL has been snubbing him bad. He's obviously the best, he's been the best all year. Yet McKinnon/McDavid get anywhere near Kuch and the official NHL media is nothing but "oh mer gherd look at how good 2nd and 3rd place are"
We saw Kuch play live in Tampa years ago and it was beautiful to see the crowd going crazy with his every move. Deafening! KUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ⚡️
Love this!!!
I've been looking for a video like this for a long time. Thanks!
hey folks ive noticed the kick save coming back into goaltending (first time since like 1990???) where the toe is pointing upwards with the leg outstretched. (im a D but played goal for 10 years) im presuming this is to fill the "under blocker" shooting hole that has emerged as premium goalscoring. havent seen much talk about this wondered if it interested you thanks!
We've noticed this too - but mostly on the glove side. Righties have been going love glove a ton this year - Johnston did just last night. The leg kick is to prevent that - or try to. This though opens up the five hole. Check out our two videos called "How NHL Players are EXPLOITING the Five-hole"
@@AlongTheIceHockey totally. and yeh i seen those vids thanks so much keep it comin!
Top quality video, top quality analysis.
Keep going guys
Thanks - will do! As we grow totally appreciate sharing our page to teammates and friends!
This was an awesome video
Куччч!!!
Magician is Datsyuk. I am sure Kuch will acknowlledge this.
Никитаааа Кууууууууууууууууууууучероооов!!!
Technically he is in the company of lemuix and gretzky with his 100 assist season
In that regard yes haha. But in terms of total points he's still 1k away from being top 10 like Mario, Sid and the Great One.
Only winger to do it. Pretty remarkable to be that much of a playmaker from the wing.
The current Russian Magician, Nikita Kucherov, not to be confused with the Magic Man, Pavel Datsyuk 😉
As for nicknames go…McDavid is called the Magic Man….and Alexander Mogilny is called the Magician. You can’t make our own nicknames up bud, sorry.
@@SirJaymesDAudeléeAbsolutely no one refers to McDavid as the Magic Man. You Canuck nonces are so funny. 😂
Excuse me, I love Kucherov but the Magician (magic man) name is taken by Datsyuk. Let’s come up with something new. He does remind me of Pavs a lot though.
Definitely wouldn't call him Magic Man. Is Magician too close? What's your best name?
@@AlongTheIceHockey Я бы сказал - Шахматист.
Who's better, kucherov or mackinnon?
IMHO Kuch not a magician, he's chess (on ice) grandmaster 😏
There is only one hockey magician and he is also Russian...
Kuch is great but Datsyuk is the only magic man.
They should have kicked him out of the NHL for his All star performance.
MVP
No question.
For empty nets?
