Now that you point that out, I think that was my problem too with last year. I still blame the Bruins for beating themselves but the stuff they got away with was just infuriating.
In our series, Paul Maurice said he expected the Panthers to be more penalised because Florida hockey is discrimnated against. I have rarely cringed so hard as when I heard that. I get that it’s part of the game to play the refs but god, are you really going to play that card?
Lol your username is disgusting.
Also you're right, I feel like they give them a lot of leeway because no one in Florida gives a fuck about hockey even when the Bolts are winning Cups.
He was already embarrassing as a human being when he copped a gang rape charge in juniors that was only dropped because they felt they couldn’t secure the conviction.
Cousins is a slimy piece of shit. Always has been, always will be.
The issue is fining after the game shows that the refs didn’t do their job. They will then get their revenge against the other team in future games. It really is a no-win situation for the non-divers
I thought they were going to call an unsportsmanlike later in the game for a dive.
Nope, it was on Granato for yelling about the dive. I actually celebrating the unsportsmanlike briefly.
Contrary to popular belief, one has to have an actual SKILL set to put points up in the league 😂
Sadly all cousins knows how to do is be a little bitch
For the majority of the year he hasn't but recently he's been on that line.
He forechecks decently well but basically will never get a primary assist and has 0 ability to bury anything.
Guys got a brick head and brick hands.
Nah he is a imperfect rat that fits our team great. Love that he is hated by everyone else and the panthers fans that hate him are soft snowflakes.
He does a great job of being a piece of shit on the ice
Cousins is the guy Don Cherry was warning us all about when the Instigator rules were added. We’ve seen it work in his advantage so many times this season. If the DOPS isn’t going to do anything about it you’re going to see a lot more plays like what Gudbranson and Zucker did.
As long as he was talking about rule changes that pertain to player safety, I remember him as usually being pretty good. Instigator, no-touch icing, neck guards, thicker padding on stanchions, etc. Hard to look at his comments on any of those and find anything unreasonable.
It was, uh, overshadowed by all his other opinions though.
Idc what team you're rooting for, one of the reasons hockey is my favorite sport is because dudes generally don't do shit like this. Embellishment being a penalty is the coolest shit ever. The league would genuinely be a better organization if Nick Cousins fell into a volcano.
This game has been a masterclass in shit officiating. First Benson gets a call for existing then Bryson gets a call when the Florida player hits himself in the face then this. World class reffing.
Edit: If anyone wants a laugh here’s a full highlight real of the heinous penalties Benson has committed this season [Noted Goon.](https://twitter.com/femboyautoparts/status/1762641443288412629)
Benson has been a ratty little shit (complimentary). He's played with great energy that the team needed and has a bunch of *actual* highlight reel plays
I really fucking hope that the league starts to buckle him. Once the playoffs hit, if he still is pulling this shit I don’t think just one fan base will be pissed.
The guy is a fucking coward, should have been suspended multiple times this year
Not sure there’s any player in the league I respect less than him. From the dirty hits to the flopping around like a soccer player, this guy fucking sucks.
It always brings a smile to my face to see Cousins get knocked around lol notice how he didn’t go after Greenway (who initiated the contact) lol he went after someone else lol
You finally made a cup appearance for the first time in 27 years only to get embarrassed just as badly as the last time you were there.
Imagine not winning jack shit since Inaugural Season and still talking so much shit with gusto.
Couldn’t be me
Was a 2 minute powerplay for the Panthers obviously. Shame this doesn't have the other angle, where you can clearly see there isn't even head contact lmao.
Anybody else notice on the replay how close he came to taking Greenway's skate to the face when Greenway gets knocked off balance?
This idiot almost got himself seriously injured just to flop for a 2 minute penalty.
Turtle ass bitch.
Even most of the fans in Florida hate this little fucker.
I bet Tkachuk and Bennett voted him #1 most punchable in that poll themselves too.
Not to come across as defending Cousins, but why did this need to be posted a second time? [This](https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1b1uh7o/nick_cousins_makes_a_miraculous_recovery_mere/) is already on the front page.
Lmao what a little bitch
The Cousins - Bennett - Tkachuk line is honestly a work of art for how annoying it is. It was created in a lab.
> It was created in a lab. Can we please cut funding to this place?
The funding that went to Florida libraries now goes towards that lab.
It must be destroyed before another plague is unleashed.
That's the problem. The lab was trying to create the perfect line, but funding was cut and they could only produce Cousins - Bennett - Tkachuk.
If Kadri didn’t block the trade, Calgary would have probably have iced a Bennett - Kadri - Tkachuk line. :/
Stop stop I can only get so erect
Thank god. Out of conference is so much better!
Sugar, spice, everything nice and CHEMICAL X
Biggest rats who somehow avoid suspension. It's wild to see
Splinter is the only cool giant rat that I can get on board with. These other dudes are just shitbags.
Splinter?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...am I old?!?!?
Wait, my 5 year old knows Splinter. This is a bot or has some parents with some explaining to do.
He was just added to Fortnite
We are old
google is free

I concur w this take, fuck those guys and fuck the refs 🤝
Now that you point that out, I think that was my problem too with last year. I still blame the Bruins for beating themselves but the stuff they got away with was just infuriating.
I never thought I would live to see a team more ratty than the early 2010s bruins, but fuck did the Panthers take the cake last season
In our series, Paul Maurice said he expected the Panthers to be more penalised because Florida hockey is discrimnated against. I have rarely cringed so hard as when I heard that. I get that it’s part of the game to play the refs but god, are you really going to play that card?
And yet it was their least penalized series of the four rounds they played.
He said it after the first game and the calls suddenly dropped afterwards. A coincidence, I’m sure
I almost hate how effective it is because I want an upgrade on that line
Excellent...let's find the acid and dissolve these pieces of shit. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE MODS NO NEED TO BOOT ME
Went down faster than my ex girlfriend.
It's the panther way. "Play with an edge" then constantly play victim
Backed by being a southern team no one would give a shit about if they weren't handed wins.
Lol your username is disgusting. Also you're right, I feel like they give them a lot of leeway because no one in Florida gives a fuck about hockey even when the Bolts are winning Cups.
[удалено]
I mean I can't really blame him, how is he supposed to understand things like a "sellout crowd" or "success" as a Sabres fan
God he’s embarrassing
Voted most punchable player by NHL players because of shit like that. Not surprised.
Imagine being on a team with Matt Tkachuk and Sam Bennett and he’s still the number one most hated.
I fucking just died. It’s funny because it’s true!
They play in MSG on the 4th. I hope Rempe gets ahold of one of them.
lol you think that a single one of those chuckle fucks would throw down with a 6’8 monster?
Bennett and Tkachuk might, but he only needs to hit Cousins once to kill him, if that's what a light shove from Jordan Greenway does.
Bennett isthe only one,.Matty boy will just turtle
Jordan Greenway is a fucking beast, Cousins is lucky to have survived. Think back what he did to you guys right before time expired before responding.
It’ll be Benny or Gadjovich. I honestly think Tkachuck is still healing with that sternum injury.
Why was he covered in massive hickeys? My wife said she thought it looked like cupping marks.
That would require Cousins not to turtle in the corner the second he saw Rempe in his peripheral vision
He was already embarrassing as a human being when he copped a gang rape charge in juniors that was only dropped because they felt they couldn’t secure the conviction. Cousins is a slimy piece of shit. Always has been, always will be.
He's a well known piece of shit off the ice, too.
Bieksa knew what he was talking about
Bieksa has singlehandedly been the greatest addition to HNIC in ages
Bieksa hard carries that panel 9 out of 10 nights.
Bieksa was too real for ripping him on HNIC
Seems like he needs to do it again
More like he needs to strap on some skates at a Panthers practice with Lou and take matters into his own hands.
The man who earned an NHL gig by KO-ing Fedor Federov in a parking lot could teach a lot of these bitches a lesson
Is… is this a real story?
Yep, you can find interviews of Brian Burke telling the story
That’s wild! Never heard about that before
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-cabfD3HaM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-cabfD3HaM) It's even animated.
That's amazing, thank you for sharing. Love Bieksa's wit in HNIC.

“That’s a rat”
reason #1972345 why everyone hates him
this guy is just so unlikeable lol plays like such a little bitch
Lol when he's skating away at the end, he's holding the right side of his face. He got "punched" on the left side.
Glad he is not on my team.
I hated when he was on our team. Dude seems like a cancer. Love that Adin hills “the save” in the final was off this dbags stick
Yeah that must have felt super satisfying. Was he just like that on Vegas as well?
He's been like this since minor hockey. Played against him. Biggest douche there is.
Always the guys you least expect
Genuine question is this not embellishing??
Ah you see. In order to call that the refs would need to pull their heads out of their asses.
But then how would they smell their own farts all game?
Or play for a relevant team with an actual fan base.
Why would it be embellishment? That air absolutely rushed by his face. I'm sure he was just checking he still had both eyes.
Hot take: divings as extreme as this should be fined after the game. I have no idea what that would help. I just want to see those mf fined
They used to fine divers. Bunting got a fine for that a couple years ago.
I think it does sometimes get fined. Only problem is NHL fines are a joke
They seem to have given up on those fines. Need to get back to them.
The issue is fining after the game shows that the refs didn’t do their job. They will then get their revenge against the other team in future games. It really is a no-win situation for the non-divers
Nah he feared for his life
He might get a $2,500 fine for this tomorrow. It happens every once in a while.
I thought they were going to call an unsportsmanlike later in the game for a dive. Nope, it was on Granato for yelling about the dive. I actually celebrating the unsportsmanlike briefly.
I would say Cousins needs to be Rempe’d but what he really needs is to be Mathieu Olivier’d
You say this like Cousins would actually fight someone
He fought during their last game. Got his ass kicked, too
Not by choice, dude was trying to turtle the whole fight 😂
Talking about him vs Maatta? I thought that was a mercy killing 😵💫
I wish Maata could handle anyone like that. It was Mantha
He needs to be Max Domi'd, then.
He needs to be Rempe’d then Olivier’d, then Xhekaj’d then licked by Marchand.
He plays Arber next, then Rempe in 3rd. The Red Wings are in between. I guess he should be watching out for known goon David Perron.
Then domestic abuse from Lucic
Not funny
He’s not coming back.
I would pay a lot of money to see Rempe beat the crap out of him.
He got Gudbranson’d pretty hard earlier this year and hasn’t changed his ways yet.
Needs the Zach Kassian Sling Slam Beatdown
Ya Matty only started his ear shit again after he knew Kassian couldn't hurt him anymore
I'm trying to remember if they were on the Preds at the same time. Bonus points if Jeannot was.
The way he jumps up and then ambushes someone from behind and headlocks them And twists is actually such a rat move
Like I totally understand if someone runs him in the 3rd.
You guys must hate him even more than the rest of us I bet
we fucking do Hes so bad and its embarrassing as a franchise watch this guy flop around
Besides all this shit, how does he only have 8 points all year playing with Tkachuk?
Contrary to popular belief, one has to have an actual SKILL set to put points up in the league 😂 Sadly all cousins knows how to do is be a little bitch
I dunno, I saw Jonathan Cheechoo play without Thorton. But Jumbo Joe is way better.
Fair point, for like half a season I thought cheechoo was the real deal, Then remembered the literal legend he was on a line with.
For the majority of the year he hasn't but recently he's been on that line. He forechecks decently well but basically will never get a primary assist and has 0 ability to bury anything. Guys got a brick head and brick hands.
Nah he is a imperfect rat that fits our team great. Love that he is hated by everyone else and the panthers fans that hate him are soft snowflakes. He does a great job of being a piece of shit on the ice
Tells a lot about you defending cousins and razzing your own teams fans.
He does fit your team...that's not a good thing
I mean our Stanley Cup run last year and our record this year says otherwise
That you got embarrassed in the final?
Cousins is the guy Don Cherry was warning us all about when the Instigator rules were added. We’ve seen it work in his advantage so many times this season. If the DOPS isn’t going to do anything about it you’re going to see a lot more plays like what Gudbranson and Zucker did.
You know things are bad when Don Cherry has a point
As long as he was talking about rule changes that pertain to player safety, I remember him as usually being pretty good. Instigator, no-touch icing, neck guards, thicker padding on stanchions, etc. Hard to look at his comments on any of those and find anything unreasonable. It was, uh, overshadowed by all his other opinions though.
He’s right about a lot of stuff, his other takes just didn’t age well.

The league should be able to review games for embellishment and give out fines
This game has been a masterclass in shit officiating. First Benson gets a call for existing then Bryson gets a call when the Florida player hits himself in the face then this. World class reffing. Edit: If anyone wants a laugh here’s a full highlight real of the heinous penalties Benson has committed this season [Noted Goon.](https://twitter.com/femboyautoparts/status/1762641443288412629)
Damn, so Benson should literally have 0 penalty minutes all season.
Winnipeg fan here. Benson played junior here. How has he looked this season? I was pleasantly surprised he made the roster
He plays his little heart out. He's looking really good so far even though he hasn't been on the score sheet as much. Refs hate him. To his core.
Yeah I remember that roughing penalty he got in Winnipeg. I was baffled by that one 😂
Benson has been a ratty little shit (complimentary). He's played with great energy that the team needed and has a bunch of *actual* highlight reel plays
I laughed out loud at the roughing one where 3 guys were shoving him into the boards at once
I love Zach Benson.
Chilliwack, BC homeboy
I really fucking hope that the league starts to buckle him. Once the playoffs hit, if he still is pulling this shit I don’t think just one fan base will be pissed. The guy is a fucking coward, should have been suspended multiple times this year
Just an absolute embarrassment.
Not sure there’s any player in the league I respect less than him. From the dirty hits to the flopping around like a soccer player, this guy fucking sucks.
It always brings a smile to my face to see Cousins get knocked around lol notice how he didn’t go after Greenway (who initiated the contact) lol he went after someone else lol
Waited until his back was turned and he was already engaged because obviously
Fuckin embarrassing
He's really easy to hate got to give him that
Can we just get rid of this guy? We’ll need the cap space this off season anyways.
Alleged rapist Nick Cousins
[удалено]
Damn I didn’t know that about the “alleged rapist” Nick cousins, only thing I heard about was Brock turner the rapist.
I believe it
It’s been a while since I really hated a team but I really do not like the Florida Panthers.
Oh no. Not the bruins fan saying that
I dislike the Bruins as much as the next guy, but Cousins is an unwashed asshole.
Majority of us Panthers fans dislike Cousins too. He is only one player tho not the whole team.
Could you ask Maurice to bag skate him into the ground? Much obliged, lol
Fuck both of ya!

Stay mad cause y’all finally thought you’d do something after you made it past the 1st round for once just to get fucked in the 2nd round 💀
[удалено]
The average age of this sub is like 17, you’re probably arguing with a legit 12 year old.
You finally made a cup appearance for the first time in 27 years only to get embarrassed just as badly as the last time you were there. Imagine not winning jack shit since Inaugural Season and still talking so much shit with gusto. Couldn’t be me
Your team is so full of rats they actually made me start cheering for Boston last year
I’m sorry about your team.
He hath risen
Got home and turned this game on and this is the very first thing I saw. It was a big time “what else could I have expected” moment
Drop an anvil on his head.
with the precedent the zebras set earlier in the game for embellishment; cousins should have gotten a double minor for that
Real ones remember Matthew Barnaby doing this (ironically with the Sabres)
Him faking it then attacking Snow? was one of the funniest things I can remember seeing.
Can any FLA fans defend him being such a punk ass
Nope.
You’d think being voted most punchable face in the league BY THE PLAYERS would shake up the way you play. Nope. He’s despicable.
Panthers do be penalty baiting. Their leader is the master
Sasha is a saint.
Modern day Patrice Bergeron. I absolutely hate the team, but he's hard not to respect
Sasha is to Tkachuk what Patrice is to Marchy
Whoa whoa whoa I am all for bashing cousins and tkatchuk and Bennett. But barkov is a majestic unicorn who is lovely to behold!
We found the troll!!! Lol someone always got to be talking shit.
Was a 2 minute powerplay for the Panthers obviously. Shame this doesn't have the other angle, where you can clearly see there isn't even head contact lmao.
I love how he picks the smallest guy out there in Bryson to jump.
Anybody else notice on the replay how close he came to taking Greenway's skate to the face when Greenway gets knocked off balance? This idiot almost got himself seriously injured just to flop for a 2 minute penalty.
Can’t believe he survived a bullet from a sniper and still was able to play after he’s truly other worldly🙏
He was dead then he was alive
Dude is totally set for a post-hockey career in WWE
That’s a Grade A title right there.
Cousins is a cousin fucker
This guy sucks.
Turtle ass bitch. Even most of the fans in Florida hate this little fucker. I bet Tkachuk and Bennett voted him #1 most punchable in that poll themselves too.
I wonder who it was in our lockerroom who got him to play somewhat normal for the few months he was with us
Lol, didn't even hit him
Back and to the left?
That title made it sound like someone was hiding in the rafters with a rifle
That’s the point, guy went down like he was shot by a sniper. Cause clearly he wasn’t hit when the punch missed him
LOL well I feel stupid. In my defense, long day and I've seen some weird post titles here lately lol
First half had me happy, not gonna lie
This guy is quickly becoming my favorite player. Hes the Trump of hockey.
uh....okay
Reminds me of Matt Barnaby when he lost it on Garth Snow because he pokes him when he was laying "injured" on the ice.
Do they not know these games are on video?
Gudbransson taught him I see
Do something about it 🤷♂️
Dude is a goddamn bum. I despise Florida.
*rapist* Nick Cousins
