First? Does the man himself reply? 😉 Love your content!
I will be forever bitter about Skinner winning the Calder. Great player in his own right but couture has grown into such a great player like we all knew he would
Started watching the Sharks when Logan joined. Loved him when he was in Worcester. 💙🦈
Professional Brodie! I miss those jerseys, current ones are a little boring to be honest.
Met Cooch (and the rest of the team sans Jumbo, Heater, and Boyler) at a Los Gatos bar that first year he got called up. It was the day after the team got bounced from the playoffs by Chicago. Quiet but humble and confident then. Nothing has changed.
I think this early video of Logan Couture shows also how ten years professional hockey changes your face and smile. These rookie interviews compared to later show how painful it is to play in a zone with many flying pucks and random accidents of the dental kind. Hockey visibly wears the body down and concussions of other less visible injuries than missing teeth are part of the costs of this cold hearted sport.
Logan Couture also does work for brain injury victims by fund raising and helping outside hockey to balance himself. I also like his hockey IQ and intellectual side in reading books and studying the game. He is a special teams or Seals type perfectionist player, with top notch warrior ethic and courage developed by hard nosed hockey. Hitting, penalty killing, power play duty, blocking shots, deflecting pucks into net, and scoring clutch goals are all specialties but he excels equally at all of them and synthesizes these skills into an overtime-all-the-time game.
Sharks need to clone more Logan Coutures in their prospect system and reproduce his success as one of league's top defensive forwards. He should be candidate for Frank J. Selke trophy and more this year. He makes all the players around him play better hockey, and even made Evander Kane look better than ever last year.
Bob Boughner should try new power play combinations with Brent Burns blocking or clearing front of net, Bonino and Meier on wings, and Logan Couture with Erik Karlsson on the points. Burnsie is best wrestling for room in front of net, put him where he can be most effective!!! Karlsson is blasting shots like he is the age of William Eklund again!!! Here is the play by play: Bonino digs puck out of corner, passes to Couture, who sets Karlsson up for one-timer blast while Burnsie screens goalie totally while clearing bodies out of way of the puck which crashes into the mesh as Meier celebrates beside the net. NHL goalies must be screened now, there is hardly any other way to score from a distance. The power play is most needed in opportunistic hockey games where scores are tight and goals must be scored by sheer will power and advanced hockey IQ moves.
