bell75 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Do the Kostitsyn brothers play well together...ie on the same line? I've heard mixed reports...what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I really like em when they were centered by Lang. Unfortunately, they didn't score a goal on their 1st shift, so the line was split up after only a few games. Brother's play well together, specially if they've grown up playing together.

strollerhnjhjjhjkind Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nooooooo! I don't want them together again, ever, ever It was nice first, but after, they were only looking at each other and they played bad, only looking for passing to the other, etc. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortwinkler Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Centred by Lang - yes. Generally speaking - no. I think S. Kostitsyn plays well when his brother is there though, I noticed last season when A. Kostitsyn wasn't playing, but S. Kostitsyn was he didn't have that jump. It's almost like a brotherly riverly, I think they make each other better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames4eva Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 For those saying no... Maybe this year would be different The stakes have changed and the need to play well together would only help both. The key for both is to think more as a part of a specific line and unit that includes all on the ice. Team players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruuvimeisseli Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Depends on the center, they play well with a big physical center man. Like Lapierre/lang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't because of Lang's injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony5775 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Those of you saying yes must not have watched a lot of games last year. They only pass the puck to each other. Every time one of them takes a little hit the other one goes beserk and takes a penalty. They should not be on the same team, never mind the same line. Andre could focus better on his own.

swimmerpuck Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't know. LOL Sometimes I thought they did play good together but as others alluded to the center may have had something to do with it. Personally I wish they would spend more time away from each other and learn to play away from each other as I do tend to think they can be puck hogs when they are together.

mtl_-lt-3emHabs Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think they would do good together on the PP with all the open ice. When your on the PP you are using everyone on that unit to set up a goal so you won't see no puck-hogging then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rose-83 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yea because on the Canadiens site, it said that Sergei was sent to Hamilton Bulldogs AHL team...but, on the Bulldogs site, he's not even listed anywhere.... then I've also heard that Sergei might play hockey in Europe...

viperhockey Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 It doesn't matter whether these 2 play well on the same line.......what matters is... does AK47 play better when SK72 is up with the big club.....and stats prove that when AK is happy to have his brother on the team......AK scores more.....and more scoring is what we need.
