The Lightning were eliminated by the Montreal Canadiens in a hard-fought seven-game series, losing the deciding matchup 3-4.\n\nBrylin, a three-time Stanley Cup champion himself, cautioned against placing the blame for the team's failure squarely on Kucherov's shoulders. He emphasized that while Kucherov is undoubtedly a team leader responsible for scoring and driving results, playoff shortcomings are a collective issue. \"I wouldn't say he is to blame for everything, because the whole team plays,\" Brylin stated, highlighting the team-oriented nature of hockey.\n\nThe experienced coach pointed to the historical success of Kucherov's line with Brayden Point as evidence of their capability. He suggested that finding the right combinations and matchups was a key challenge during the series. Brylin also noted the unpredictable nature of a Game 7, remarking that if Tampa had scored late in the game, the entire narrative would be different.\n\nRegarding Kucherov's specific struggles in the playoffs, Brylin admitted it remains somewhat of a mystery to him. He acknowledged the increased defensive attention and reduced time and space that elite players like Kucherov face in the postseason, which can limit their effectiveness. Brylin expressed confidence that Lightning head coach Jon Cooper and the team's staff worked diligently to deploy Kucherov in favorable matchups where he could make an impact.\n\nDespite the playoff disappointment, Brylin was quick to reaffirm Kucherov's elite status. He praised the Russian forward for consistently delivering high-level hockey and producing results, scoring goals, and creating opportunities for his teammates over many seasons. The comments serve as a reminder that individual blame in a team sport can often be oversimplified, especially in the high-stakes environment of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","New Jersey Devils coach Sergei Brylin weighs in on Tampa Bay Lightning's first-round playoff loss, arguing it's unfair to blame Nikita Kucherov alone for the team's early exit against the Montreal Canadiens.","328086409879490561","0","2026-05-08T06:23:48Z","sergei-brylin-defends-nikita-kucherov-after-tampa-bay-lightning-playoff-exit","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fhockey\u002Fnews-6460416-sergej-brylin-o-vylete-tampy-ya-by-ne-stal-govorit-chto-kucherov-vo-vsyom-vinovat.html","326222707169431552","Anderlecht",[54,57,58,59,60,61,62,63],"326222713142120448","326257534170042368","326257534396534784","326257539962376192","326257545754710016","326257554411753472","326257556324356096",[55,65,66,67,68,69,70,71],"Canada","Bayern München","Bayer Leverkusen","Como","Newcastle","Newcastle Jets","Newells Old Boys","Sergei Brylin Defends Nikita Kucherov After Tampa Bay Lightning Playoff Exit",[74,108,135,163],{"awayTeamId":75,"awayTeamName":76,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":78,"homeTeamName":79,"id":80,"leagueId":81,"leagueName":82,"matchId":83,"matchName":84,"publishedAt":85,"slug":86,"sourceName":87,"sourceURL":88,"teamId":75,"teamName":76,"teamIds":89,"teamNames":98,"title":107},"326257565535047680","Real Madrid","Gareth Bale endorses Florentino Pérez for Real Madrid presidency with ‘El Mejor’ post, joining Modrić and Benzema ahead of the June 7 election.","326257565195309056","Barcelona","337973493419216897","326135638850015232","Copa del Rey","327052734794567680","Barcelona vs Real Madrid","2026-06-04T13:01:14Z","what-bale-s-el-mejor-post-means-for-real-madrid-s-election","Marca","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.marca.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Freal-madrid\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F04\u002Fbale-une-campana-favor-florentino-mejor.html",[75,78,90,60,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,54],"326257545918287872","326222712143876096","326222712592666624","326257537596788736","326257541157752832","326257590512128000","326257546094448640","326257807785463808",[76,79,99,68,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,55],"Liverpool","Portugal","Congo DR","FC Porto","Galatasaray","Los Angeles FC","Tottenham","Reading","What Bale’s ‘El Mejor’ Post Means for Real Madrid’s Election",{"awayTeamId":92,"awayTeamName":101,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":109,"homeTeamId":91,"homeTeamName":100,"id":110,"leagueId":111,"leagueName":112,"matchId":113,"matchName":114,"publishedAt":115,"slug":116,"sourceName":87,"sourceURL":117,"teamId":118,"teamName":119,"teamIds":120,"teamNames":127,"title":134},"Athletic Club plans 5.2M euro expansion to add 2,400 seats at San Mamés over 8 months, with no match disruptions, and may stack away games during works.","337970004265799681","326135627642834944","League","327115058687512576","Portugal vs Congo DR","2026-06-04T12:51:50Z","athletic-club-to-add-2-400-seats-may-stack-away-games","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.marca.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Fathletic\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F04\u002Fobras-dotar-san-mames-2-400-nuevos-asientos-supondran-desembolso-5-2-millones-euros.html","326257565275000832","Athletic Club",[118,91,92,60,121,122,123,124,78,75,125,126,54],"326255038114566144","326255039809064960","326255040400461824","326255041188990976","326257565702819840","326257745512632320",[119,100,101,68,128,129,130,131,79,76,132,133,55],"Santa Clara","Dynamo Kyiv","FC Santa Coloma","FK Sarajevo","Real Sociedad","Members","Athletic Club to Add 2,400 Seats, May Stack Away Games",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":136,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":137,"leagueId":138,"leagueName":139,"matchId":49,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":140,"slug":141,"sourceName":142,"sourceURL":143,"teamId":144,"teamName":145,"teamIds":146,"teamNames":154,"title":162},"Kenneth Eichhorn is in demand but his handgeld demands are causing top clubs to reconsider, threatening his big move.
