GDT: #6 | TB @ PGH | Tue Oct 26 2021 | 7 PM ET | A Loss Is Given, Right?

We're not even gonna be ahead in aggregate now.

Heck of a shift by Zucker. Just buzzsawing all over the place. Atta boy Jake, if you're gonna toss a muffin, hit the goalie's pad and hope for a rebound.

I've been a big Zuck hater as you know, but I have really liked his game so far this year.

Getting greedy after breaking the shutout....Why give them two empty net freebie points? Take what you earned and runaway...

Killorn is an instagram influencer and I strongly dislike him for it.

Man's gotta eat. Life's rough out on the streets of Tampa Bay when you're only making... *checks notes* $4.45 million AAV.

Laff go fight someone or shits and gigs

Zucker >>>>>>>> Jake
Zucker >>>>>>>> Kap
Zucker >>>>>>>> Rust (whenever he deigns to be healthy)

This makes me want to vomit, but that doesn't make it untrue.

Still don't see him as a partner for Malkin, but he's been the best of the regular top 6 forwards.

Jake isn't the type of hockey player I enjoy watching

I'd be curious to know all the places you've lived. You've been everywhere it seems.

He was pretty cool in 2016-17 and 2017-18, I dunno..

Yeah, points haven't been piling up but he's definitely not looking nearly as lost as he had much of the time here. A focused Zucker who sticks with this buzzsaw style is going to be a really solid player, who is going to help his linemates score as well as putting himself in a better position to contribute offensively on a consistent basis.

All I've ever really wanted from the guy.

The goals for/goals against stat-line.

I've liked his vision & decision-making too. It's much better than it's ever been flanking #87 or #71. As you've said he is often caught in-between thinking he's gotta do some Globetrotter sh1t with them. This has been simpler and quicker.
