MZA had an off night but Richards was even worse.

No stop right there. You're wrong. When you are sprung enough where you only have the goalie in front of you, and you instead turn to face your own net to make a pass, you had the worst night. Richards wasn't great but not as brutal as Zucc. Zucc made stupid passes. His game was nowhere near where it had been.

The answer is simple: #WaiveZucc

I wonder who gets demoted when Nash returns.

I think moving Callahan, if moving anyone at all. Well, it depends entirely if Streiderello manages to produce next game.

Granted, its not really a demotion.

Richards was worse. Especially on the PP
 
LOL, has the puck on his stick in the slot with only the keeper in front of him...tries to thread the needle through 2 players. Whhhhhhhy. You have to know he wants that one back.

I screamed so loud the whole neighborhood had to have heard me. I have ZERO idea what Zucc thought there..

If I was in that position, I would let it rip and most likely score the goal.
 
Bad decision on the 2 on 1, no doubt about that. But the worst player for the Rangers? Wtf? Give me a break... Not his best game of course, as the rest of the team, but IMO he plays an ok game, and compared to the rest of the team, not the worst player by far.

If he was so rotten that some of you say, he wouldn´t get almost 21 minutes from AV.

No excuse on that 2 on 1 of course, but I am in no doubt that he knows that himself too.....
 
He made a poor decision, no doubt about that. But one play is not anywhere near enough to call him the worst player for the night. He wasn't bad, overall.
 
Norwegian media makes point about his poor decision on the 2 on 1. Zucc is very disappointed in himself that he did not shoot, and admits that he should score on that chance.

Google translate
 
He should have shot on that play but to call him the worst player is beyond ridiculous. AV would have sat him if that was close to true. He sat Hagelin last night. AV kept putting Zooks out because despite a off night he was still one of the better forwards

I am not making excuses, I gave him a hard time for making that pass myself. Just saying that if the puck had made it to Stepan and he has scored the mood around here would have been different :laugh:

You are making excuses, and poor ones at that. Not even remotely the same situation as that clip.

The pass was horrid enough, the fact it was on a short-handed rush and led to a 4 on 1 the other way is the kicker. Like I said, one of the biggest brain-dead plays Ive seen in a long time.
 
It was the worst play he's done in a Rangers jersey, theres not much doubt about that. Good intentions, horrifying outcome.

For his sake I hope he produces tonight.
 
He made another bonehead play last night on the 1st goal.

Someone needs a get a hold of him and tell him that backward cross-ice passes inside the blueline are unacceptable at the NHL level.

May I ask why you only notice the bad and not the good plays?

Did you happen to see him draw the power play?

Did you happen to see him spring Kreider on breakaways?

3. Chris Kreider was one of the stars of Tuesday night’s game even though he also was the picture of New York’s inability to score. Part of the Rangers’ problem in the second period, when the Bruins scored both of their goals, was that three Boston power plays kept Kreider off the ice. After an active and effective first period, Kreider played fewer than four minutes in the second. Of course, he had ample opportunity to score the goal the Rangers needed and couldn’t do it, but he and Mats Zuccarello were playing off each other beautifully. (By the way, Vigneault’s decision to take Zuccarello off the top power play unit, I believe, cost the Rangers’ some puck possession on the man advantage – though I understand he’s trying to work Nash back onto the PP.)

4. It’s a shame Zuccarello made that ill-advised, cross-ice pass backwards in the offensive zone that led to Shawn Thornton’s goal on a two-on-one the other way. Otherwise, the little Norwegian had a great game.

That goal was all on our D, turnover by Falk and Moore who allowed a huge open area.

But Zucc once again made a pass when he was in a perfect shooting position, I don't understand why AV lets him play like that.

Because that play led to a goal against - the other play did not lead to a goal for.

Zuccarello continues to be, on this board anyway, the NHL's all-time leader in creative plays that do not lead to actual production.

You mean every time Zooks has been a participant in a play for a goal we score you come on this board to point it out the good play just like you point out his mistakes? I did not know that. My bad. I was starting to feel like you do not like the guy.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I love it...so if MZA springs 2 breakaways, it's his fault for not having "Actual production"

but if the defenseman bobbles a very playable puck, gets caught completely flat footed, and the other defenseman doesnt play the play correctly...its mzas fault.

seriously man, you must be the most unhappy person alive.
