Yanni Gourde

[Pestilence]

What's a centime?

It's the monetary unit of Haiti. I believe.

 

[Ajacied]

Came in and expected him to be a female NHL ref. Thread didn’t dissapoint, though.

 

[Peanut]

Makes sense why Loserpoints on twitter was hyping him up so much when he was in the AHL kids a beast

 

[sr edler]

Who does he play with?

 

[FinnLightning26]

Who does he play with?

He has played with pretty much everyone at some point and has played both wing and center. He's so versatile and makes any line he's on better. He hasn't been carried by anyone if you mean that. The guy makes his own luck.

He hasn't been carried by anyone if you mean that.

I didn't mean anything as I don't follow your club on a game watching basis. It was out of curiosity.

 

[These Are The Days]

He'll likely be re-signed July 1st to an extension. This guy is fast becoming a core player.

 

[EXTRAS]

Super Underrated. Scores and does great defensively.

 

[Obviously]

One of the best forecheckers in the game, kid never takes a shift off

 

[RealRockNRolla]

66 games this season, 50 points, with a pretty even distribution of 22 goals and 28 assists.

I can't help but think the Lightning have found yet another complimentary player that has been developed well in Syracuse before being called up by the big team. Albeit I haven't watched many Lightning games this season, except games vs the Leafs but I've been impressed with what I've seen of him so far, he's quietly having a fantastic season and barely been mentioned on these boards, despite having fantastic chemistry with Brayden Point.

Are Lightning fans sold on him and do you feel as though there is even more room for improvement/development?

Yeah, we're sold on him! Absolute pitbull and puck hound. He's having a terrific season, I would have never expected this level of production but looking forward I don't really see him slow down in any way. Maybe the best part of him is that you can throw him on any line and it will work. He will go out and give 110% each shift, go to the dirty areas, crash nets and fight for the puck as if his life is depending on it. It's a real joy watching him play and become better and better.

Another great pick-up by Al Murray and Steve Yzerman: From undrafted to legit top-6 NHL forward in a couple of years.

I second this. No way this was expected. But he is doing fantastic.
