He looked pretty up and down to me. He had some real good shifts and some shifts where he turned the puck over multiple times. He looked fast though. Also passed on a shot opportunity that he would've taken last season.

So did he take Ninos place or what? That really does not work, Coyle or Nino has to be on that second line.
I really like Nino there but I think that Zucker, Coyle, and Nino are all interchangeable on that line. The issue is that the third line is seeing top lines of other teams. If your going to run that match up you need someone better defensively than Zucker.

I think Zucker has potential, but no way should he supplant Nino. He's playing very well,especially considering his past performances with the Isles. Why mess with him? One of the few guys with size and offensive skills on the team.
Sorry, interchangeable was a poor word choice. I just meant that all three work there (obvoiusly all are different players, especially Zucker).
Theorectically if Zucker could find a place there then Nino would move to the 3rd and Fountaine to the 4th. Every line would have a player with some offensive ability.
Needs a fair chance before i judge, and nino can play RW plus adds the scoring touch the 3rd line lacks.
give him another 2-3 games in the same position, if he struggles, swap nino and him.

As long as Yeo is coach, that is. This regime just gives too much preference to grinders.

Have never heard of such a negative fan base. Minnesota sports fans are the worse I wouldn't play here if I was athlete either. Then all fans are going complain were to soft. I really don't think it was yeo chose to send him down.
I don't understand much what you're saying but my wild guess is that it's far from being the most negative fan base. Expectations are starting to build up, that's a good thing.

The team has scored four goals in its last four games. Why on earth would anyone not be pessimistic about subtracting a young, fast shooter and adding an old, slow enforcer?

lol us and being soft? Like Rupp is going to be that big physical person to make us a bunch of hard ***** to play against? please. I'll take the speedy kid who isn't afraid to shoot the puck.

Soft isn't their problem. I'd like to see them finish more hits, but that's a strategic/coaching problem, not a personnel one. They need to be faster, they need better shots, and they need better offensive instincts.
then people complain that they aren't shooting enough and they do it last night people complain that they were shooting to much.( Russo tweets one of the people that knows what he is talking about).We could win the Stanley cup and fans would sill complain. 54 more games to go with the 7th seed playoff spot.
He's a much more useful piece than Rupp is at the moment. I liked the way the lines looked last night.
