Podcasts about Nikita Kucherov

Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta are joined by David Carle fresh off another National Championship at University of Denver. He reflects on life over the past month, the challenges of recruiting in today's college hockey landscape, player development, and navigating the transfer portal era. Carle also breaks down what separates elite college players from those who can step right into the NHL and make an impact.Additionally, Carle shares fascinating insight on projected No. 1 overall pick Gavin McKenna, detailing Denver's recruitment process and why he views the superstar prospect as “ultra dynamic” with a “wizard-like” sense of the game — even comparing his playmaking instincts to Nikita Kucherov. Plus, he discusses some of his favourite NHL coaches and addresses speculation about a possible jump to the NHL someday, while explaining why he's very content staying at Denver for now.

The Lightning had their exit interviews today & Nikita Kucherov says nothing but just dismisses the questions. Is that the right move? Should he be held accountable?

TKras is unsure of what to think of the Tampa Bay Lightning after last night's Game 7 loss. Plus, is Nikita Kucherov untouchable? We also get into the red-hot Rays, and Chris Mathis & TKras share their good, bad & ugly!

On this episode of *The Drive with TKras*, TKras is still trying to wrap his head around what unfolded in Game 7 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night in Tampa. After all the buildup, expectations, and intensity that comes with a winner-take-all showdown, something felt… off. TKras breaks down the turning points, the momentum swings, and the moments that defined the game—but more importantly, he asks the big question: *what actually made the difference this time?* Was it execution under pressure? A tactical adjustment? Goaltending? Or did one team simply want it more when it mattered most? TKras dives into the critical plays, key performances, and coaching decisions that shaped the outcome, while also exploring how this result fits into the bigger picture for both franchises moving forward. If you watched the game and still can't believe how it ended—or you're trying to understand why it unfolded the way it did—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

On this episode of *The Drive with TKras*, the focus shifts from the shock of Game 7 to the even tougher question: what's next for the Tampa Bay Lightning? With the season ending in stunning fashion, TKras takes a hard look at the roster and the reality of an offseason that could bring real change. Which core pieces still give this team a championship window—and which players might have played their last game in Tampa? From cornerstone stars like Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedman to key contributors and depth players, nothing is off the table. TKras breaks down who should be part of the future, who could be moved to shake things up, and how the front office might balance loyalty with the need to evolve. Is this a quick reset, or the beginning of a larger retool? And how aggressive should the Lightning be in reshaping a roster that suddenly has more questions than answers? If you're wondering how Tampa Bay gets back to contender status—and what tough decisions lie ahead—this episode dives into it all.

Social media in Tampa exploded with the awful takes revolving around Jon Cooper & Nikita Kucherov. Nick is asking for everyone to calm down. Do you agree with Nick or social media?

Former Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Braydon Coburn joins TKras on *The Drive* to break down a massive night for the Bolts. With Tampa Bay facing elimination in Game 6 in Montreal, Coburn shares his insight on what it takes to win in a do-or-die playoff moment — and whether this current Lightning squad has what it takes to extend the series. Plus, what's going on with Nikita Kucherov in the postseason? TKras and Coburn dig into his performance, expectations, and whether he can rise to the occasion when the team needs him most. It's all ahead of a must-win night for the Lightning — can they force a Game 7, or is this the end of the road?

ESPN Hockey Analyst Ray Ferraro joined OverDrive to discuss the Maple Leafs' position and their possible draft pick selection, the Senators aiming to make the playoffs, the Oilers' rosters compared to the previous teams. Nikita Kucherov's incredible skill set, the Jack Adams Award candidates and more.

The New York Rangers managed just 10 shots in a 2–1 loss to the Ottawa Senators, who also lost Thomas Chabot and Lassi Thomson to injury, further thinning an already strained blue line ahead of a must-win against Detroit Red Wings, while the Rangers look like a team that’s checked out. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers face Utah sitting third in the Pacific but sliding after two straight losses, with Connor McDavid having to clarify comments he made praising Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper, comments that felt like a subtle critique of his own staff. Ray suggests this version of the Oilers simply isn’t as strong as recent years. In Tampa, Nikita Kucherov is on a tear and making a serious push for the Hart Trophy, with his intensity often misunderstood despite a strong bond with Jon Cooper and elite offseason work. And finally, AJ Greer received a three-game suspension for boarding Connor Zary of the Calgary Flames, a ruling Ray argues was far too lenient—suggesting it should have been closer to 10 games—and adding to ongoing concerns about consistency and player safety standards across the league.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
