Flyers Draft Nick Cousins in Third Round

by Geoff Detweiler on Jun 25, 2011 12:57 PM EDT in Philadelphia Flyers News

With the 68th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, the Flyers selected center Nick Cousins from Sault Ste. Marie. Cousins is coming off a point per game season in the OHL, where he scored 68 points in 68 games.

Cousins made Team Canada's under-18 team, and scored between five and eight points in 7 games (conflicting reports.) Either way, Cousins is a small center - listed at 5'10" - but he brings a little bit of an edge to his game.

In an interview with Yahoo!'s Neate Sager, Cousins was asked what he had to work on the most:

"Playing both ends of the ice. I put up pretty good numbers [68 points in 68 games for a ninth-place club], but you have to play good defence if you want to play at the next level. So I need to improve on my play in my own and my play without the puck."

So the Flyers grab a big two-way center in the first round, and a small one-way center in the third. Interesting.

Oh, and his favorite TV show is Jersey Shore.

Flyers next pick is #116.

Sad may even be an understatement. I can’t believe anyone watches that crap.

I can understand watching it like it’s a train wreck but to actually say it’s your favorite show is embarrassing. what a shame as gordon ramsey would say.

Is favorite show is Jersey Shore? Sounds like he would have gotten along with former Flyer Jeff Carter.

Idk, there might be a few too many comments to try and catch up on, at this point. Seems like that is all I am doing, catching up…
