Playoff Couturier

[Jtown]

Sean Couturier scored 3 goals, 1 assist in his 2nd playoff game ever. Coots has failed to score in his next 18 playoff games.


Out of 20 playoff games , Sean has 1 game in which he has had points.

When does his streak end? Has there ever been such a streak for a player who gets his ice time?

Probably won't. I'm a Flyers fan and, although I believe last night's game was mostly a derivation of absolutely horrific goaltending and playoff jitters, the Penguins absolutely shut down the Flyers power play last night which is what the Capitals did in 2016. The power play for the Flyers is based entirely on rims around the boards to spread out the attack and send the puck to open areas. The Penguins destroyed this strategy by playing aggressively along the outside and along the boards to take away any time Giroux would normally have to corral a rimmed puck along the dasher.

He made such a big impression in the 2012 series, it's surprising that he has struggled so much since.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Defense wins championships, but being anemic on offense loses them.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

That is shockingly terrible.

Eh I think we're being too hard on him.
He's had a great regular season and now he gets to face either Playoff Sid or Playoff Malkin. That's a tall order. Look at the C's those 2 have caved in their last 2 runs...its not a list of bumpkins

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Terrible play on Pittsbergs second goal. floodgates opened after that.

i also think this regular season is a big abberation offensively for him. I could see a 50-55 point player in the mold of J.Staal but he's not a 60-70+ point centerman.

Everyone should know that Jtown is notorious for hating on Couturier, he constantly said he would never be more than a checking 3C. At the start of the season when Couts was showing that offensive potential we all saw in him Jtown disappeared from the Flyers board, he only reemerged when Couts went cold (couldnt score goals, still got a bunch of assists) and clamored on about Couts being put back at 3C behind Giroux and Patrick. This post is as transparent as they come trying to tear Couts down. He has posted it twice on the Flyers board already.

Now on to the post itself, this ignores all conext, in both the 2012 and 2014 playoffs Couts was used in a purely defensive role, tasked to shut down the other teams top players with poor linemates. He has played 2 games for Hakstol in the playoffs where he was actually used in a more offensive role. It is not a good look, but give him a few series as a 1C or 2C before counting him out completely like Jtown already has.

Yes my hatred for coots is such that I told all the nhl teams to not let him score in the Playoffs.

I may be notorious for posting coots stats, but the flyers board is notorious for ignoring Coots poor play. I gave him plenty of props this year, he was phenomenal.
Context aside in 20 playoff games coots has scored in 1 game.

nice attempt at a reverse jinx, jtown.....we see you.

what the hell does Jtown hating on Couterier has to do with what he posted...there's a legit concern for playoff performance. Flyers need scoring in a bad way to keep up with the Penguins offense. Only series he ever scored in was when neither team felt like playing any defense. He's been a dud since then, if he's gonna center the 1st line, he needs to bring that offense in the post season.

Hes had 1 game as the 1C and 1 game as 2C, cant really pass judgement yet.

 

[stepdad gaary]

its really just shocking. i thought he had like 8 points in that pens flyers series a few years ago

 

[rent free]

it'll end this series imo

 

[Trap Jesus]

He got absolutely shredded last night. One of the worst individual performances I've seen in a while.

 

[Bar Down]

Every time Couturier tries to defend Crosby, it looks like he's being pulled behind him on water skis.

 

[wej20]

its really just shocking. i thought he had like 8 points in that pens flyers series a few years ago

That series was an absolute gong show though.

I'm sure he'll break the streak soon though, especially if he plays with Giroux.

I expected a little more from a guy being touted as a Selke contender.

 

[KIRK]

He made such a big impression in the 2012 series, it's surprising that he has struggled so much since.

This. I remember the number he did on Malkin in 2012. Last night, there was a 1 on 1 battle between the two in the 3rd behind the Pens net, and Malkin just ragdolled him. Pretty much a metaphor for where his playoff game has evolved.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Well the guy had a killer season this year. You've got to think that if he's gonna score, it'll be in the next few games.

 

[YEM]

probably worth noting that 11 of those games were when he was still a 19 yr old rookie

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

That series was an absolute gong show though.

I'm sure he'll break the streak soon though, especially if he plays with Giroux.

Voracek also has some underwhelming numbers in the playoffs. Some guys just dont step up come playoff time.

Caps have a few too.

While the Pens continue to get lucky having rookies put up 21 point ( 13 g 8a) in their first playoff run. Guentzel added 4 more last night. 25 points now for him in 26 playoff games.

His positions on Couturier are not rooted in reason and he is fond of ignoring any context he needs to to justify his hate. Take his haranguing with a pile of salt.

Damn you and your reverse jinx thread. Couturier will score a hattrick in Game 2.

Some how this is my fault. sean couturier has points in 1 playoff game in his career and yet you choose to focus on me.
