NHL Around the NHL XIII - Penguins acquire Jason Zucker from Wild for Galchenyuk, Addison, pick

[Budddy]

Right? He was in the offensive zone with the puck and skated all the way down behind his own net until point got on him and forces the turnover. Just a lazy twirl all the way too.

unlike him...no awareness at all...

Tampa wins in overtime . Hello Toronto!

They were ahead of Tampa by 19 pts at one time.Leafs will have zero to lose vs Bruins .Rather play someone else this year.Keep playing them your gonna get burned eventually.Last 3 times went 7 games.

 

[22Brad Park]

Lucic with goal and assist in back to back games now.Best I seen him hustling in years .Go Looch.

 

[TCB]

Looch back to back games with a goal and assist.
He seems to have a lot of jump in his step, these last two games and he's a fight (Evander Kane) away form a Gordie Howe Hat-Trick.

Chychrun is a beast. 12th goal on pp in last min and Yotes beat habs 3-2 .Killer loss for habs at home.

I remember his rookie year and you thought Boston
should ave taken him instead of McAvoy.

They both have had injury issues. McAvoy has
better hands but Chychurn has a much better
shot. I would say right now they are a push.

I did and would have.It worked out good for both teams.

I wonder what the odds were that both Lucic and Rinaldo would have a goal and an assist in the same game ???? Be interesting to see if either ends up with a " Gordie Howe hat trick " by the end of the game.

Last 2 games 2 goals 3 apples for Looch.I would never bet on them both scoring and getting apples same game.

No Gordie Howe hat trick tonight ( interesting bit of trivia - Gordie Howe had 0 Gordie Howe hat tricks in his NHL & WHA career ) but Lucic did pick up a 2nd assist.

Looch should of already had one. He took a pretty good right at Noeson and then just put him in the headlock, showing some mercy, maybe that's why the official only gave him 2 for roughing, but if he connects with that right, its lights out for Noeson.

I'll be honest - I'm just going by what I heard on either TSN or Sportsnet a few years ago. Besides going over his entire career game-by-game on the Sports Reference website I have no way of checking to see if that stat is actually true.

EDIT: Take it for what it's worth but Wikipedia credits Howe with 2 Gordie Howe hat tricks - one in 1953 and one in 1954 both against Toronto.

That is false

That is false

He had 2 - here are the box scores

Toronto Maple Leafs - Detroit Red Wings - October 11th, 1953

Toronto Maple Leafs - Detroit Red Wings - March 21st, 1954

I hope the Bruins play the Penguins in the playoffs so we can have best buds Coyle and Zucker beating the snot outta each other

I would quite like to have Zucker with the Bruins - I think he and Coyle together on a good team would be a really productive pairing. But he's a bit too expensive for what he brings to the table.

Will be curious to see what he delivers in Pittsburgh - his last season and a half have been a bit sub-par, but perhaps on a competitive squad he'll find better form again.

He feels like a very good fit for the Pens. Good skater, forechecker with finish. Should suit that team well, especially the north-south energy style they tend to play in the playoffs.

I think he's on a pretty fair contract. Not a fit here if you put him on the third line obviously, but decent value. Good value if he can get back to 30-goal-pace again which would seem possible with Crosby or Malkin.

Zucker has been linked as Pitts #1 target for a while now. Rutherford normally gets his guy.

 

[LouJersey]

amazing how easy it is for Rutherford to make deals while other GMs seem to treat it like rocket science.

Goes back to Kessel. Rutherford loves speed.

This is how you handle the Capitals

They’ve been trying to pry Zucker for years. No doubt other teams stayed away. It happens all the time.
