There are a lot of posters on here that seem to think the blame is never on the 15 or so skaters that are generally a detriment to the team, and think the reason we lose is because the other players that can actually do things, don't do enough. To these people, games seem to hinge on the times when Giroux loses a face off, Voracek misses a breakaway, or Couturier turns the puck over, but ignore the fact that if the rest of the team was better than it was, none of those players would be in that position in a 1 goal game, anyway.
I guess it's hard to blame what you can't see.
You're going to recieve criticism for the play Couturier made regardless of what your last name is. You don't try to stickhandle through multiple players in the neutral zone during an overtime period. It was a low percentage play & it ended up resulting in the game winning goal going the other way.
There's mistakes & than there's brain dead mistakes, Couturier's was more of the latter.
