NHL Representatives Frustrated at Kucherov After Skills Competition
In a statement, a reporter from TVA Sports mentionned that Kucherov's actions weren't appreciated by some people in the league.
"I saw league representatives [after Kucherov's actions], and they were not very, very happy. It was a lack of respect and a lack of class towards hockey. I feel like he loved it even more; the crowd was booing him, and he took even more time." - Via TVA Sports
What Kucherov did was a total lack of class and he should have gave his best in the challenges. If not for him, or for the game, do it for the fans who paid a hefty price to see him walk around the ice and do nothing.
Some people are calling him out on social medias, saying he should be suspended for what he did.
