I don't know why Couturier is getting such bad reviews for this WJC performance. He's made a lot of great passes from the boards and dominates puck possession as well as anyone in the tournament.
I think he's not getting the normal 1st overall reviews because he's not flashy. But he's exactly what any NHL team needs, a guy who can battle and control puck possession.
He hasn't been spectacular in the tournament because he's playing on the third line, with two guys who were drafted in 2009 (Schenn) and 2010 (Johansen) ahead of him.
