[LegionOfDoom91]

That was a bullet, shot it right through that gaping five hole.

 

[Alchemy]

Cousins!!!

 

[Lotusflower]

[usahockey22flyers]

Did anyone see that guy flip the bird? lmao

 

[Appleyard]

Cousins with a beauty of an NHL 99 goal.

Awesome.

 

[Yukon Cornelius*]

Attaboy!

 

[Tripod]

Lol...people complained about Umberger in...goal.

People complained about Cousins on the 2nd line instead of Laughton...goal and assist

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I can't believe Buffalo gave up a first rounder for Lehner. He's awful.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Cousins' defensive play has improved so much from when he first turned pro.

Still isn't the greatest skater but skates hard to get back in position.

Yeah what happened to him? I remember some OTT fans were saying he was the next lunqvist

Subtle way of tanking. Just acquire the worst goalies possible.

He showed real promise in ottawa, I don't know what happened to him.

 

[hatcher]

He deserves it. Damn he skates hard out there

plays a good solid gritty game. Like him way better than Laughton.

He started out hot in Ottawa but fizzled out as time went on. He struggled with concussion issues last year.

Doesn't help that Cousins has been getting more TOI than Laughton right off the bat. I still want to give Laughton a chance, especially with possibly better linemates. If not, trade him and make Cousins the 3rd line C.

There's a reason he's playing more than Laughton when he dresses.

They play the same type of game.

 

[Appleyard]

You did not see LA do this the other night (sitting back so much when leading heavily)... they were trying to score as many goals as possible.

Gotta complain about something... not much to with a 4 goal lead!

 

[Alchemy]

They play the same type of game.

I feel Cousins has better awareness.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Cousins' first goal can be seen here -- https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/Ca-t62UWEAAbn-T.mp4

A favorite first goal in team history based on the player's reaction --

Also spent a lot of top 6 time in the AHL and not playing behind VV and White in the NHL.

Yea and cousins seems more solid. Don't see him making mistakes or out of coverage. Laughton isn't guilty a lot but makes mistakes.
