This is really no different than what Crosby is doing, and is all part of the game. Coaches makes comments in the media all the time about not getting calls and such, this is the exact same thing.
I'm fine with Crosby cheating on draws, and I'm fine with the Sharks trying to get him kicked out of the circle. Both teams trying to gain an advantage.
Side note: There is nothing more annoying than taking a draw and having the other guy trying to time it and knock it out of the air.

Couture comments are just typical gamesmanship, very similar to Deboer calling out the refs early in the Blues series. They are just trying to manipulate the refs/lineman to their advantage. Typical playoff stuff, nothing new. You can't say a guy is too good or they are too rough, you have to say they are breaking the rules.
