When asked about it earlier today, Cousins was rather arrogant.
Changes Announced by the Ottawa Senators in Their Offense That Are Stirring Major Reactions: They’re Waiting for the Montreal Canadiens’ Tough Guys Head-On
Even worse, just to taunt the Montreal Canadiens’ players even more, the Ottawa Senators have oddly decided to place Cousins on their first line!
Cousins – Stutzle – Batherson
Greig – Cozens – Perron
Amadio – Pinto – Giroux
MacDermid – Eller – Zetterlund
Sanderson – Zub
Chabot – Jensen
Kleven – Spence
Ullmark
Merilainen
The Sens have therefore made a few changes, placing Cousins and Greig on the top two lines and inserting the tough guy Kurtis MacDermid into their lineup.
No, the Senators have absolutely no intention of hiding Nick Cousins.
It almost seems like they’re proud of him, and there’s absolutely no reason to put him on the first line with Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson – but well, that’s exactly what they just did.
Kurtis MacDermid, aged 31, is a tough player standing 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 233 pounds, with 0 points and 7 penalty minutes in 5 games this season.
Nick Cousins, aged 32, is a forward standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 191 pounds, with a very low total of 3 points in 12 games this season, along with 20 penalty minutes.
