There are other consequences besides firing. If there are no consequences you end up with offficials just doing whatever they want in games (and screwing over teams they don't like). With 4 officials on the ice all of them don't have to follow the puck.
Not with the current inmates at DOPS. Plays like that can be anywhere from 10 games to nothing.
You don't survive in this league on talent alone though. Zegras has no idea how to play 2 way hockey, so the only way he sticks in this league is of he produces offense, and this season, hes being outscored by 4th liners and defensive defencemen.
To know what you're talking about before you say things?
Ok so you just admitted yourself, not a defensive specialist, and he's clearly not an offensive specialist either, so what is he?
Not really. This bad hit aside. His play with the puck helps with the offensive flow of his line which has, in turn, seemed to have shifted the offensive confidence of the whole team. That shift didn't start until he returned from injury.
There's a pretty big difference between not a defensive specialist and someone who has no idea how to play two way hockey. Not everyone who can play average or above average defense is someone you'd describe as a "specialist", I didn't admit to or concede on any of your points and it's bad faith debating to pretend otherwise.
Enlighten me on how good he is, I'd love to hear your argument as to how he's worth almost 6 million per year, despite producing like a 4th liner.
Well if you watched him play with an actual clue what you are watching you’d see he is definitely not a liability. He had a slow start along with the entire Ducks offense (while his advanced stats and the eye test both had him as one of the unluckiest players in the league at that time. Started producing again, then a freak injury made him miss 22 games, now since being back has 6 points in his last 10 while being our most dangerous and consistent offensive player. Not to mention the ducks are 7-2-1 since the offensive black hole defensive liability returned.
6 points in 10 games...wow, you got me, I'm gonna scoop him up for my fantasy team now with scorching hot production like that.
He’s played 26 more games than him? I can’t tell if you are obsessed with Z or Ceci. Cap doesn’t matter to us right now. He was injured all last year too. 6 in 10 isn’t scorching hot but it’s a young talent being productive after a long injury while working on his two way game. We are happy with him because we watch him play every game and know what we are building towards. He’s fixed his defensive deficiencies and is figuring out how to produce at the same time on a young team that can’t score. It’s not that difficult to understand unless of course Zegras has you in a mental pretzel like he has you do clearly in.
mind posting them here? i'm sure you can find clips or remember when they occurred if they were as bad as you claim
Mental pretzel? Nah, I just don't like the way he runs himself, and I think he's overrated and overpaid, and has a stupid haircut, that's all!
