This times 1000. I literally can't remember the last time he scored a goal. He is an offensive player who is producing no offense. MZA is not going to stay in the nhl if this continues, period.

game 7 against the caps. i remember it quite clearly.
 
the idea behind that was its easier for a dman to play forward than it is for a forward to play d. not that bad of an idea actually.

yah if you are willing to let that Dman actually take a forward shift which AV told our broadcast team pregame that he wouldn't do.

dumb move

maybe asham was banged up
 
Zuccarello does a lot of good things when he's on the ice, and also has a ton of confidence in his puck control on the PP. Get over his size, open your eyes, and see the little things that Zucc does right.

0 points doesn't mean he's playing poorly. Watch the games, don't just look at the stat sheet.

It's also HILARIOUS to single out one player who isn't named Derek Dorsett or Marty Biron after tonight's game.

one of the worst comments people on this board make

WATCH THE GAMES

don't be so condescending friend. people on these boards are die hards they're watching every game blow outs wins you name it.

kid has done nothing. he's done nothing on the pp too which has actually produced.

no one singled him out until the "zucca" defense team came running

you know who else we were told was doing "the little things right" when he wasn't producing or doing anything really?

Chris Drury
 
The Very Good: Richards, Brassard, Callahan.

The Biron: BIRON. Dorsett. Falk.

The Bad: Staal, Pyatt, Zuccarello, Boyle, Stepan, Girardi.

The Mediocre: Everyone else.

Yea that's why I didn't get it, maybe he was pissed at Asham for that dumb extra penalty where he took his helmet off.

That was last game right? This horror show over the last 3 games has basically bled into one in my mind
 
and ps everyone knows he's trying

but its not good enough

pyatt is trying too

biron is trying too

not good enough

either banged up or av doesn't believe he can keep up anymore
 
this is what you get from hf regarding "zucca"

well he's invisible instead of making mistakes so much better got it.

and for those saying he's physical. IT DOESN"T MATTER he's a nat they swipe him away he isn't causing any turnovers any damage with his physicality

HE"S GOT ZERO POINTS

he's got maybe one shot on net that i've seen


and yes he's not the only one that sucks. but that's not how i started it. i said THIS THIS THIS AND THIS GUY should be gone. but again since this is hf you see some people not liking "yucca" and forget it the crowd comes to the rescue. i'm not sure why he's done literally nothing for the rangers really.

never scored a big goal in a big spot never had a moment. couple shootout moves when no one is chasing him shocker he's got good hands.

don't get it other than the fact HE"S LITTLE AND WE LOVE HIM

Really thank you. I remember people used to bash Sykora and rightfully bash Kessel both of those guys when they do not score are worthless like Zuc.

Except Zuc can't score, can't be consistent at this level. He is too small and slow, he is a defensive liability. He's Marc Andre Bergeron but without the points and is not a regular NHL caliber player.
 
Definitely trending in the right direction. A big plus that Henrik didn't seem to be fighting the puck and was way more comfortable out there tonight. He almost looked like himself. And Brad Richards is carrying our offense right now, not only statistically. He's controlling the flow of the game and is extremely effective out there. He looks awesome.

Biron looked terrible.
 
@PLeonardNYDN: AV on whether there's concern about Biron's ability to start 20 games: “That’s a good question," says he wants to analyze tape

Ouch not exactly a vote of confidence

Good
 
exactly what i was thinking. theres hysteria among their fans about how he should be traded for a dman. i say we jump on it.

There is an extremely short list of players on this roster that I wouldn't trade for Yakupov. He is exactly the kind of young dynamic offensive talent that this franchise has craved.
 
Even an idiot like Kevin Lowe may realize he is not helping the Oilers by stashing young talents away like a squirrel getting ready for winter.

Lowe is not too sharp, and maybe Glen can do some good, in his own herky jerky, short sighted way.

would be awesome if slats could pull it off. im not holding my breath on them actually trading yaks though
 
The effort was there, the cycling game is improving, but these guys still need a lot of work on basically everything else. especially the passing, neutral zone play, and slot coverage. really want to dump Biron, Dorsett and Pyatt after tonight. what are these guys getting paid for again?

How many goals did the Rangers concede this year as a result of Zuccs bad defense ? As opposed to say, our D-men ?

Zucca is 176 lbs, at 5"7 and all muscle, thats not a small guy

How many goals have we scored this year because of Zuccs offense? NONE! He has literally had no effect on the team. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
