What to make of Logan Couture?

[solidmotion]

Is Cooch actually his nickname to Sharks fans? When I hear or see the word cooch, something completely different comes to mind.

i always thought of him as more of a cooter

 

[illpucks]

I didn't bring up Crosby in this convo. You did. Nice try, bud.

Couture didn't win the Smythe because his team didn't win. It had nothing to do with Crosby.

And if Couture had 19 points, Sid had 30, and Sharks lost in 6, who wins the CS?

Couture didn't get credit at 30 pts because of no star power. That goes for other stars in the league...like if McDavid had 30 and Couture had 19 but Sharks won.

Don't kid yourself that name power doesn't impact votes. Couture has very little name power.

Logan Couture, curtains, lights
This is it, we'll hit the heights
And oh what heights we'll hit
On with the show this it it!

No, he got no credit because his team didn't win. Why is that concept so hard for you to grasp? Again, this literally has nothing to do with Crosby. I still don't know why you keep bringing him up.

Do you want to opine on the 2013 Hart results while we're talking about undeserving winners of awards based on star power name recognition? I didn't think so.

 

[HansonBro]

The guy has screwed me over the last like 4 years in playoff pools. Has literally cost me hundreds of dollars. Did i learn this year? Nope. Next year will be no different if I pick him or not.

 

[Mez]

Is he not playing to his potential in the regular season? How do you have 36 pts in RS and then 30 pts playoffs?

Drugs?

 

[Jot]

He's John Tavares Level.

If he was used in a more offensive role throughout his career. He would easily have multiple 75+ point finishes.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Nice guy and good at hocket

 

[nihlify]

Drugs?

He's got a worse twin that plays for him during the regular season?

 

[Vachon23]

Is a guy that I would take in my team ANYTIME ! One of the most underrated player personally

 

[Frosty415]

He's got 14 goals now


playoff NHL record is 19.


Hopefully he pushes for it.

 

[illpucks]

Where is this Logan Couture in the RS???? Why doesn't he play like this??? He would be a 100+ point player.

 

[illpucks]

You realize Sid is a bigger star than Ovi, right? So star power argument doesn't work for that. Sorry bud. If you miss 1/4 of the season unless you are Mario you aren't winning.

And 30 points losing is not "his team didn't win" terrirtory, especially when the winner has 11 less points. That's the star power argument in effect.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch him play this post-season.

 

[Matty Sundin]

He's ugly

 

[Sleepy]

Clutch. Beast. I love how he plays his best vs the best.

 

[leafsfan5]

Other than Patrick Kane is there another player on his level in terms of clutch play? This guy is always at his best when it counts the most, incredible to watch

Happens in every sport. Many times in NBA,NFL,MLB and NHL that the clear best player didnte win playoff MVP because his team lost...not due to "star power"

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Couture is something else. Shut down all game, seriously struggled, but scored to tie the game when it mattered most.

 

[Frosty415]

I heard from Fox News that the refs inject couture with steroids before every game

 

[Man Rocket]

Playoff stud

 

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Great player

Recipient of very favorable calls.

That is all.

He's also ugly...so theres that.

 

[Kale Hulls]

The number of clutch goals he's scored when his team needed it most late in the 3rd is unreal.

I think the last time a player had 15+ goals in the playoffs was Kane over a decade ago.
