You just took care of that, so i expect him to produce by the bucket load against the Red Wings :p

Don't worry my friend.... we will take care of the young Norwegian Hobbit..... He is in good hands!

Do you see a black car parked outside your house at night? No......you will.

Most icetime of all forwards 5 on 5 tonight 15:09min

Thats good, but no points.. could easily had a couple of points tonight again, but just as the team the pucks arent bouncing the right way..

I can see why torts removed him from the point, but i cant understand why he took him of the pp completely( atleast he got 40sek by the end).. Imo its just stupid not to use him 5 on 3, he is one of the most creativ player on this team, and ten times better than the Gaborik we saw tonight. Avery, Prust, Boyle, Anisimov, Callahan, Dubinsky, Stepan, Wolski and Prospal also got more time on the pp. Icant see where Avery, Boyle, Prust and even the horrendus Gaborik has more to bring to the pp than MZA.. atleast on the 5 on 3

I realise this sounds a bit homer, but i cant belive that i am the only one feeling this way. Why not put MZA to use where he is best? I sincerely belive that few or none on the rangers is better or more creative than mza 5 on 3.

I appologise if this is a bit much, but i just had to get it out:/

MZA shouldn't leave the ice during any PP. I prefer to see him on the right side, near the face-off circle. He has a fantastic one-timer that is hard and accurate. He needs someone on the other side feeding him the puck though. He has great vision too, those one-timers can easily be bounced right back (Stepan?).

Like the rest of the team he started out good vs Detroit, but he faded away and was barely visable at times...

Not his best game...

I couldnt disagree more. I believe this was one of MZA's best games all together. When he came on, things happened. Every time ! And usually as a result of the little man throwing his body around

I liked his play to! 5 hits, 5 shots (3 on goal) a couple of great passes, and scoring chances.. With a bit of luck he actually would have been a ppg player this 21 games, and thats pretty impressiv.

fun fact: Anisimov, callahan, Dubinsky, Prust, Boyle and Avery combined for 9 hits

Zuccarello and Stepan combined for 10

Translation (for anyone interested) :

"Hi all Norwegian fans. I would like to thank everyone for the incredible support you have given me throughout this time, for watching the Rangers homepage, Facebook, Twitter. I hope that it will continue, and i hope that i can make you proud. Thank you very much".

Torts says that Mats Zuccarello will take Wolski's spot at point on PP tomorrow..."he really has looked comfortable there past two days"

MZA hasn't been putting up as many points but he's still been a great player on the ice. I'd love to see him stay as the second line RW until/if we get an obvious upgrade.

Also, consider me intrigued to see a Kreider-Stepan-MZA line. Would love to see MZA feed Kreider the puck, with Step being a hybrid playmaker/scorer.

Damn, im so exited about tonight's game. I dont know whats gotten in to me. Im getting heatflashes and a jumping heart, everytime i think about tonights game. Its almost like something will happen tonight. Dont know what but something. Maybe its just me getting old. Damn i hate getting old. Or maybe its that time of the month when the misses is in the mood. Either way im gonna get lucky tonight.

Look up top:
