Player Discussion Nick Cousins: Wut Up, Cuz!

[azcanuck]

Nick has been playing like he did with the Yotes last year. He's a very effective guy in the corners and has decent hands and speed.
I'd like to see him move up in the lines a bit like he did last year in the desert.

He looks like he can play anywhere in the line-up. Tough to beat out TT and JD for minutes though.

He's been our 3rd best LW so far this year. The Cousins-Thompson-Suzuki line has been an effective bottom 6 trio for us.

Looking like a line that will consistently accumulate against third D pairings and other bottom 6 forwards.

90 to 100 points from a 4th line over the season is gold. All we need now is someone decent to play on KK's wings with Armia looking good with Domi and Drouin.

Getting the KK line going would give us 4 lines rolling. Byron and Lehkonen really need to be upgraded. Poehling, Ylonen, and Caufield all could be with him eventually, but for this year the picking are slim.

except, the Thompson line is the 3rd line.

Poehling on his left could be interesting this year. Could try Belzile too.

This can't be said enough.

7 points in 11 games and a +6. He’s been a surprise so far

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I'd like to see him on KK's LW when KK returns.

 

[Habssince89]

I'd like to see him on KK's LW when KK returns.

Cousins-Kotkaniemi-Suzuki
Or
Cousins-Kotkaniemi-Armia

Would be interesting to see. I think both of these would be great at getting the puck to KK which ultimately what he needs to start playing well. I'd also like to see Poehling go on his wing as well and have Suzuki with Thompson.

 

[Steeler23]

I'd like to see him on KK's LW when KK returns.

In theory, I'd like to see that, BUT I don't think they should separate Cousins and Thompson right now.

Nick Cousins: Wat up, Cuz

Looking like Cousins earned another nickname via Mete. It's "Cugi", short for "cugino" which translates from Italian to cousin.

 

[ahmedou]

His smarts is at a very high level.

[ahmedou]

Just suspend Cousins for the rest of the season. I'm fine with it.

 

[angusyoung]

Are the Habs being targeted or what? seen much worse than that and the officiating and review calls are starting to smell a little fishy.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Should suspend him for 10 games.
