Looks like I need to say it again - Zadorov was at his best when he was allowed to do whatever he wanted. What a guy. Get him back at the deadline.

With the Avs, I agree. But as much as Sutter lost it last season, he had a really good impact on Z's game. He helped him cut down on his legitimate bone-headed penalties. He was/is still getting them for just being bigger than everyone else, but there's not much he can do about that other than retiring.

Z will always play best in man systems like Sutter runs. If you simplify the game for Z and just allow him to maul people 1v1, you can have an effective defensemen. I'd love to see what Z could do in Tampa.

Doesn't really take a genius to figure who some of those players (for the war) are. You wouldn't know from the way the NHL and media pumps them up though.

Wouldn't say most without seeing statements / statistics. But a lot more than many fans hope for.
Never said so.

All I can say is that as much as I liked big Z before, I am even more impressed with him feeling comfortable speaking publicly on this.
Detroit Tigers ? my dad took me to Tiger stadium as a wee kid and we stayed in the same hotel as them and got to meet Allan Trammell and Lou Whitaker.
I still have pics over at my Dad's

Huge props to Z for coming out and speaking his feelings publicly, that takes a lot of bravery. Yes, he is a high profile, comfortably wealthy athlete, which offers him some protections that ordinary Russians don't have, but he's still putting a target on his back making that statement. Cutting yourself off from your country of birth like that is a big sacrifice, it would have been much easier for him to do what everyone else is doing and just keep his head down instead of standing up to power.

I know but my message was genuine, wasn't trying to spark the conversation back up. Sounded like you were trying to get banned with that last thread and comment about this being your last time here.
My fault though for bringing it up.

I’m not trying to get banned, I just thought the hooker conversation was incomplete. There was more to be said, but if I do get banned, I won’t care.

Zadorov pretty much neutered Tkachuk in that playoff series for us too. He was a total non factor after that hit.

I think the conversation ran it's course, but I sent you a PM if you want to discuss other things. Should have done that first instead of here. All love.

LOL I’m just kidding. I really have nothing more to say on that topic. I don’t even know why and how it startedI think the conversation ran it's course, but I sent you a PM if you want to discuss other things. Should have done that first instead of here. All love.

No, to retire his jersey number when he's done playing as a legendary Av with winning three more Cups in the next 8 to 9 years.

No way you can fit 3 Cups in that very tiny window of ours.
