Hmmm

Kid has turned his OCD into quite a career, but I don't think many people replicate his strict dietary routines.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I am not a capologist by any means.

Will Vancouver be able to keep Joshua?

Hmmm

I'm making carbonara tonight in honor of Nathan MacKinnon. Using pancetta instead of guanciale, though. Sue me.

I too use pancetta.

The closest store that has guanciale is 25 miles.

Pancetta is 1 mile away.

Augh lame. Let's willingly ice a worse lineup

Reinhart only getting day off from practice, not game.

Nv mind

I'm obviously referring to Cousins

He's a good top 9 and he's one of our best forecheckers. Maurice isn't gonna willingly sit him.

I agree that he is a good forechecker and Maurice won't sit him.

But good top 9 while averaging 20 points per season? Come on. He obviously only gets upper lines minutes because we have no other choices.

I don't believe a good third line forechecking winger should be measured in points Scored.

I agree, but Dread Clawz called Cousins a good top 9 player. And points do matter in this case.

And he was clearly affecting Lundell's play

He's gotten 38, 31,and 41 pts the last three seasons while playing less than full seasons. He's a top 9 guy. He shouldn't be 2nd line, but 3rd line is just about right.

You slipped in the column. That's his PIMs.

Whoops my bad, still he has scored about 30 pts per season pro-rated the last 3 seasons.

I am glad he is on our team. My point just is that I do not want to see him on the 1st or 2nd line (again) if we are not forced to do so. And he does not have any skill or speed to put him as a mainstay on the 1st or 2nd line on any team.

3rd is absolutely fine, I'd even prefer him on the 4th. His value comes in his versatility and being a rat - perfect for our team.

I don't think anybody wants him on our top 2 lines, including Maurice. Last playoffs, he didn't have many options. I think the unified goal of Zito and Maurice is to have him on the 4th, after the TDL. For now, the 3rd is fine.

Or.... maybe it's the other way around.
