Kuznetsov attempts to pull off the Michigan at the worst possible time
Regardless of which team you support in this series, you've got to admire the guts of Carolina Hurricanes forward Evgeny Kuznetsov.
Facing the New York Rangers in Game 4 of their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series on Saturday, the Hurricanes were fighting to stay alive after squandering a 3-0 series lead.
With the game tied 3-3 in the third period, the pressure was on. But Kuznetsov didn't seem fazed. In a bold move, he attempted The Michigan from behind the Rangers' net, a rare sight in an elimination game.
Though he didn't succeed, credit goes to Adam Fox for a stellar defensive play, denying Kuznetsov's daring attempt.
The Carolina Hurricanes did end up pulling of the victory with a final score of 4-3, with this the win they force game 5 and put an end to the NY Rangers seven game winning streak during the playoffs.
