Player Discussion Mika Zibanejad: Part II

[The Crypto Guy]

Give him the f***ing C already!!! He is the Captain of this team.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Holy f***ing shit.

This guy.... wow. Lucky to have him

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

57 goals over an 82 game season.

If he didn’t miss some games he would’ve crushed the Rangers most goals in a season record.

 

[Inferno]

He's ok.

 

[Fugazy]

57 goals over an 82 game season.

If he didn’t miss some games he would’ve crushed the Rangers most goals in a season record.

Damn that’s absolutely insane.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

We possibly have two of the best 25 players in the league - thats so nice for a change

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The way he’s been playing I wouldn’t be surprised if potted a couple more on Saturday

 

[Mac n Gs]

Five goals. That's some rockstar shit.

I predicted he’ll reach 40 by the 2nd period against the Devils.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

And every one of his 5 was either to tie the game or take a lead. Best 5 goal performance ever.

 

[duhmetreE]

 

[ecemleafs]

zibby has 46 goals in his last 82 games.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Officially a 90+ point 45+ goal center (past 82 games):

 

[Edge]

Pretty sure he’s also close to, if not over, a point per game pace going back to the last quarter of the 2017-18 season.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

He’s an all around player. A playmaker from the pivot who can defend and now he is a top goal scorer as well. Weeks ago we were all certain Panarin was our best player. Well now it’s at least a debate.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

What’s extra crazy is he could have had 7 tonight.

 

[Edge]

The “Around the NHL” thread on the Sens board is a hell of a read tonight.

 

[B17 Apricots]

He's ok.

Don't be so generous he's eh

 

[Metranger]

The “Around the NHL” thread on the Sens board is a hell of a read tonight.

Can you summarize? And don't spare us the details

just mad about the trade. Most of them have good things to say about Zib

Makes sense. Ottawaians are polite and Mika is a gentlemen.

WE ARE SO FREAKIN LUCKY!

One guy is saying he's lucky, but thankfully he's the exception.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I think officially the Mika trade is better than the McDonagh trade.

 

[Ghost of jas]

I think officially the Mika trade is better than the McDonagh trade.

And the DeAngelo trade is closing in.

 

[doomscroll]

229 points in 264 games as a Ranger. I remember watching Rickard Rakell and Filip Forsberg a few years ago and thinking to myself “what if Zibanejad managed to replicate their success in NY?” Mika is quite seriously one of the rare exceptions in player development, and I look forward to wildly promoting his extension as soon as next summer.
