Player Discussion Mika Zibanejad

[DanielBrassard]

The steep decline of Mika Zibanejad continues, that contract extension might be the thing that sinks the rangers for the foreseeable future. He was never a dominant force, nbut his play since last season has deteriorated even more than I anticipated it would.

It’s called a joke, you know, those things we used to be able to make before everyone became soft?

Looks like Roslovic wasn't the problem with Zib and Kreider.

He already has 6 goals this season.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I think the reason he looks slower is mostly tied to confidence. Same reason that people thought Laf and Kakko couldn't play at NHL pace; they were just too much in their own heads.

I was always confident that both the kids would work it out as they developed, but it's a taller task for Mika. Maybe he just needs to embrace being a shutdown centre/PP specialist, and he'll find himself playing more freely.

It's not tho. People really think these things about him because he's bad at hockey.

Like, it might be hyperbole, but there's absolutely genuine meaning behind the personal attacks.

The problem is when it's negative conjecture it borders on slander

Nah

 

[Machinehead]

Nah

You can't tell me when people talk about his wife wearing the pants, that they don't absolutely think that.

Don't insult my intelligence.

Chill white knight

Here we go the "white knight" bullshit because people got called out on garage behavior.

We're not asking, so go outside and touch some grass if you don't like it. This is a website for adults.

There's a big gap between saying Mika is a soy boy loser and Mika just seems like the type that treats the NHL as a job and merely as a paycheck and doesn't have the determination of even an average NHLer.

Im not sure people have become softer. Or people have forgotten that talking like that in real life would likely have gotten people punched in the face.

The internet gave fake tough guys a way to feel real big.

 

[Machinehead]

I hated Roslovic but I didn't hate him for "not fixing the line" or whatever.

 

[Siddi]

He was never a dominant force

Now this is the kind of shit posting that forces people to defend him even when he plays like dog shit.

At his absolute best he was dominating the ice and arguably a top 10 player in the league.

 

[DevilDog99]

Best third line center in the league.

I literally wouldn’t even day that.

 

[JohnC]

Mika sorta stinks now, but the people that bring up the child, veganism, whatever are just the board’s usual dipshits that no one take seriously anyway.

 

[Kravtsov420]

It’s the old will vs skill argument. The will is so lackluster right now that the skill part doesn’t even seems like he has it anymore. And that’s not me saying he doesn’t care. But I don’t understand how from the outside he can be so tone deaf to what we’re seeing when we watch. There’s such a disconnect it doesn’t make sense.

Something will give sooner or later, either he figures it out or this will come to a head another way.

Nope, you need to be a play driver while producing at 5v5 to be in that realm. He’s never been that. Hes always been more of an opportunistic scorer. Every time he’s matched up in the playoffs against a top center he gets dominated.

That was one season and then the next season he was awful until halfway through. Just not enough. That Brassard trade was still very good but given his inconsistencies in effort his whole career I understand a little bit more why he was traded.
