“One of his most important characteristics is that he doesn't care. He is not indifferent to the team, he is not indifferent to his own game. We are all irritated when the puck does not bounce as we need it, and since Kuch plays a lot, he has more chances of getting angry, ”the press service of the league quotes Cooper as saying.
He noted that Kucherov is a very quiet person by nature and does not like to talk a lot.
“But in this playoffs, I see how involved he is in the discussion of the bench game. It's great when your best players become the conductors of the ideas of the coaching staff within the team, especially at the end of matches. In this I, perhaps, see his main progress, ”added the specialist.
In the current playoffs, the 27-year-old Kucherov played in nine matches and recorded 9 (2 + 7) points.
Earlier it was reported that Tampa lost to Boston in the first match of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
