Nikita Kucherov Facing A Potential Suspension For His Actions During The All-Star Game

Nikita Kucherov was booed all evening during the all-star skills competition and now could be facing a suspension for embarrassing the NHL.

Kucherov's Poor Showing At The All-Star Game

Nikita Kucherov is one of the most polarizing players in the NHL. There is no doubt that he is one of the best players alive but his style that takes it slow is not the most enjoyable for fans.

During the all-star skills competition, Kucherov made it clear that he did not want to be there by giving absolutely zero effort.






The showing was a slap in the face to both the fans and the NHL and now it seems like Kucherov could face repercussions for this.

Kucherov Could Face A Suspension For His Actions

In a TVA Sports article, an anonymous league executive commented on Kucherov's performance.



If Kucherov's goal is to not show up in future all-star events then he likely achieved it as the NHL will be less than willing to bring him back.
