We all know Nikita Kucherov loves winning and has no problem rubbing it in afterwards. Many would remember his classless interview after winning back to back Stanley Cups beating the Montreal Canadiens in five games. Kucherov would continue to taunt fans with a $18 million dollars over the cap t-shirt to rub it in to hockey fans faces that felt the Tampa Bay Lightning had an unfair advantage.
Well, Karma bit Kucherov as the Colorado Avalanche would defeat them in Game 6 in Tampa to take the Stanley Cup. We would see Kucherov's poor sport attitude take place in the late minutes of the Stanley Cup clinching game as a linesman called off what appeared to be an icing play. However, it wasn't what caught the attention of many fans.
Kucherov would get caught on camera on the Lightning bench throwing a serious temper tantrum like a little kid. Kucherov would be seen at the bench slamming his hands on the boards after his stick apparently broke. Kucherov's equipment manager went to get him a new stick but wasn't quick enough to Kucherov's liking.
Kucherov would then pull off his gloves and fires them at the equipment manager before deciding to sit on the bench the final seconds of the game. Say what you want about the equipment manager not having the stick ready when Kucherov wanted it, that's no way to treat him and that pathetic outburst by Kucherov is inexcusable and shows his true character.
