Great win, great sweep, by the Kings. Great way to cap off a night honoring Nick Nickson. Fun fact, Nick’s dad was a radio broadcaster in Rochester named Nick Nickson. So he’s Nick, Nick’s son.
But I want to talk about Kuzmenko. Andrei Kuzf**kingmenko. What a game by him & what an effort by him since he’s been here. The goal he scored sums up everything about him. Stealing the puck because he buys into the defensive effort. And then shooting the puck when he looked like he was passing. And that was the opposite of when he looked like he was shooting before passing to Kopi for his goal. It’s probably why Hellebuyck was leaning over instead of being square to him. I don’t know how every team or player has responded to every deadline deal. But I can’t think of one that’s worked out this well for both team & player. He’s fit so well on & off the ice. He buys in to what the team is doing but he gives an element the team didn’t have. I was all for signing a big name free agent this summer. But I changed my mind. He fits in too well not to sign him.
