Player Discussion Mika Zibanejad: Part II

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

TDA is f***ing hilarious. Dude’s got charisma out the ass.

 

[Chimpradamus]

TDA is probably a douchebag in real life but he seems like someone that I'd love to grab a beer with.

Who or what the hell is TDA? Am I that old? All I could pick up from an internet dictionary had nothing on that, even remotely close. So what is that? And I'm not even an old timer, so I'm asking for alot of people.

Taken and Driven Away? Team Disney Anaheim? To Do Achieve? Transition Data Analysis? Team DotA Allstars? Total Drama Action? Toonami Digital Arsenal? The Dark Arts? Those Darn Accordions?

WTH? The interviewer in that video? Ooh. The interviewer in that video.

Tony DeAngelo, also known as ADA.

Tony DeAngelo, also known as ADA.

So he has several different shortenings of his name now? Wth...

TDA officially now The Dark Arts, clearly that's where he gets his powers from.

 

[RangerLifer]

A high risk pick, really? Dominating in the JWC, winning gold for Sweden including scoring the gwg, a high risk project, you are right. I could list many players that draft being a higher risk than Mika, that's for sure.

Ottawa Senators s***s though but that's another story, perhaps worst management in the history of NHL, a bit like Maple Leafs during their worst era.

I wonder if other GMs know which ones among them are the easiest for picking. These teams get fleeced regularly in trades. It almost feels like it's a league-wide known secret which ones are ripe for the taking.

 

[kovazub94]

Hilarious!

 

[romba]

Lol, ADA was short Anthony DeAngelo. Anthony is the formal version of Tony (I’m not Italian but at least that’s what I think). Tony has specifically said he prefers Tony to Anthony, so hence the TDA now.

Anthony is not just an Italian name, haha.

 

[romba]

Anthony is not just an Italian name, haha.

If you watch the tv I’ve watched then it most certainly is lol. Also Tony might be more prevalent in Italian circles but not certain of that

 

[GordonGecko]

Not as a person though, only when he's interviewed in traditional media and has to be formal. When he can be himself he's chill, down to earth and funny as f***. When he's showboating, it's to entertain.

What I want to know is why some doushebag is whipping soccer balls at the face of our 1C at close range

 

[aufheben]

Snippity snap

 

[NYR]

When I said Zib was a 20 foot player, he absolutely was at that time and I stand by that statement.

Now however.. He's really rounded his game and has taken it to a new level.

He's getting stronger over the second half of the season when teams are ramping things up for a playoff push.

Full props..

 

[NYR]

Anthony is not just an Italian name, haha.

Not only no.. But it originates from the Roman times.
It's also my middle name Anthony/Antonio.
Same diff..

He's a journalist (Jimmy Wixström) doing a very laidback series where he visits Swedish NHL players during the summer and fools around with them. He also does some sort of challenges with them. Since Mika loves Manchester and played some amateur football during the summer, football it was.

Taking a football in the face hurts, but it's not like it's a puck. Wixström seemed to be hurting way more than Zibanejad did. Mika said he had seen his style before, that he just shoots at full power and hopes for the best. Wixström counters with that he's read in a newspaper (NY Times) that Mika is afraid of shots and goes with the Swenglish "shoot afraid". Mika calls him out for talking BS.

Apart from Mika, he also visited Landeskog, Klingberg, Pettersson and Ekman-Larsson.

Why is he "probably a douchebag in real life"?

I might go watch the Klingberg episode, the guy seems like one of the funniest players ever.

One doesn’t go from 20 to 200 in under a year. But good of you to backtrack

All of them are are really funny. Most Swedish star players are laid back, chill and fun to hang around with.

 

[Blue Blooded]

He is now 1st in GPG (0.71, 58 goal rate) and 7th in PPG (1.31, 107 point rate).

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If the league scoring rates stay elevated he may very well set the franchise record for goals in a season over the next few years.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'll be honest, I'm far from a leftist but I have a bit of an anti-MAGA bias.

Well then. No further questions, your honor

Calling someone 'probably a douchebag' because you have differing views/opinions?

That's projecting douchebaggery.
