Player Discussion Nikita Zadorov

[Mainehockey33]

I got big Z vibes when he was pumping up the crowd after beating the tar out of Bennett. He’s been a stud lately.

imagine him in the playoffs?

I understand that East Coast fans aren't watching the Canucks in the playoffs at 2am, but as a BC (Can) boy, I can tell you he was an absolute playoff stud.

Zadorov led all skaters with 22:48 minutes against the Panthers, he had 1 assist, was plus 1, and threw 4 monster hits (did he injure someone?).

+5 shots / 2 blocks / 1Tkaway /0 giveaways

He has heart loves the signing then and love it more now.

 

[Gee Wally]

Now thats what I like to see. FAFO.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

I hope no one puts him in the same category as the E. Lindholm signing again.

Also I don't get how he could be labeled as so bad when leading a team who's overall goal differential is -27 with a +15.

That is what he was brought in for.

It's July 2024. You grab your computer and protest the contract that ends up being one of THE favorite Bruins for the next few years.

Mistakes were made!

I really like how Zaddy has played of late. I loved him beating Bennett. Grabbing Pasta was so pathetic.

 

[Dellstrom]

Really big moment for the team that goes well beyond the 2 points last night. For the second game in a row you beat a team you have no business beating, on a 3rd period comeback no less, and embarrass the guy and team that has humiliated you two years in a row. Loudest the garden has been all year.

Even after half the team was traded for futures they've fought like hell and showed they want to be here. Give me that any day over watching a team that's quit for a pick better by 2-5 selections. I don't expect them to make the playoffs let alone make any noise but this is a new team and they've started on a hell of a note. Play until the season's over, regardless of if that's the regular season or playoffs, and the people who prove they want to be here will be rewarded. Zaddy is absolutely leading the charge.

I wasn't a fan of the move at the time it was made, and I still don't like it. But I WILL say that Zadorov clearly shows he cares about this team and takes pride in wearing the spoked B. He's gotten better as the season's progressed and he's emerging as a leader on this team.

That's good enough for me.

They didn't sign him to be their #1 defenseman but he is right now and he's carrying the weight while still playing his game. Don't see how anyone can really complain about his dollars this season.

Yeah, that's one of the things that has impressed me. He's moved up and been a horse for us because of the injuries. He's not the long term solution as our top pair D, but its been a nice surprise to see him holding his own in that role.
