It’s time we talked about Zemgus.

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

My man has played 50 games, has 0 goals and 2 assists to show for it. That’s not good. Is it the worst full-time forward pace of recent memory? Will he score this season?

I mean, his max points over the past 8 years or something is 19 points. He's a 4th liner.

Okay, he's doing pretty poorly for a 4th liner, but what is there to talk about?

We must be on Zemgus watch. To see if he scores this season.

 

[Bleedred]

I constantly forget he doesn’t play in Buffalo anymore and that he’s still in the league playing somewhere that isn’t in Buffalo.

He was probably the longest tenured 4th line guy to play for the same team for that many years in a very long time.

Nichushkin had 0 goals and 10 assists in 57 games in 18-19 and now hes a lock for 30+ goal pace when healthy.

I feel for him. Liked the signing when it happened. Reluctant to call him bad because he still knows how to defend and puts his body on the line, but it's rough, no way around it. Still kills penalties and is kinda physical but there comes a point you have to look at sitting him. Really hope he puts one in soon, there was a time back in the day where I thought this guy would turn into a mainstay reliable middle sixer, jack of all trades type.

I remember he made that All Star Game when he was with Buffalo and thought the same. I like him and was hoping he got on the score sheet more for Tampa Bay, but just hasn't been the case.

There's a better chance of being struck by lightning than Zemgus ever having that kind of season. He's 31.

 

[FissionFire]

Ask me at game 81 if he’s still in Tinky Winky range. Riley Sheahan went an entire season without a goal until the final game.

Nichushkin always had more talent in his pinky finger than Girgensons had overall tho. Not a good comparison imo

 

[Devilsfan118]

That's a fun yet completely irrelevant fact.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Very, very disappointed.

 

[Hint1k]

So when he will score the cup winning goal later we will know who is responsible.

He and Glendening on the same PK gets me swearing worse than a harlot in church. I still don't trust them together

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

For the past like 4 years I've been expecting him to get sent to the AHL and then go over to Europe.

 

[Namejs]

As bad as this guy is offensively, him having 0 goals is a statistical anomaly and his xG is around 5.

I'm still not sure how he got a 3 year contract though.
