I love this quote from San Jose Sharks head coach Todd McLellan on 22-year-old Logan Couture: “He’s quietly becoming the part in the washing machine that makes it go, for lack of a better analogy.” Can we make these vague mechanical references more of a thing? It would work well the other way, too — like, “Hal Gill is slowly becoming the part in the lawnmower that keeps getting caught on the curb,” or, “Ilya Bryzgalov is loudly becoming the part in the garbage disposal that makes all that noise — what the hell is that noise? Oh, it’s a spoon.
