Ha, HA! I remember that post and laughing my butt off.

Regards Zuuc. He's really looked like his old creative self in that 3rd Period against the Wild.

Screen looks shopped.

That's a terrible shop LOL

 

[Placid]

I wouldn't lump Brassard and Zuccarello together. I think Brassard has looked good, and far better than Zuccarello pretty much every night so far.

I meant as a line

Big game coming for Zucc tonight

 

[Guffawstev]

4 points in 8 games.
Last year; 1 point in 8, and 6 in 12.

Should be possible to get some more in 4 games

If he has four times the point total now, that means he'll finish with 236 points this season right?

anything less is a dissapointment

 

[Glennsoe]

Anything more I consider a bonus for everyone...

He'll finish just behind Nash for the team scoring lead.

Zuccarello makes it light

No player has more fun at practice than Mats Zuccarello. On Friday, Derek Stepan was at center ice doing stickhandling drills using an orange cone that Zuccarello shot pucks at until he knocked it away. Then he slid pucks 180 feet through traffic toward the goal that Cam Talbot was guarding. Finally, when he scored one-on-one against Henrik Lundqvist, he skated away and joyously jammed his stick like a sword into an imaginary sheath at his hip.

Lol, Zucc da man.

Funny guy.

 

[SKS]

I know Zucc took a beating last game, but this injury emergence seems a bit sudden.

Rangers are in desperate need of defensive help at the moment.
Could there be a trade looming?

 

[Idlerlee]

You'd think someone would have mentioned it by now if there was ?

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I think it's a groin concussion.

No, seriously.

Did Stepan's wife change her last name? I hope not. This world does not need a Stephanie Stepan.

Don't see why there would be. Stepan is due back any game and Boyle should be back shortly thereafter. And unless there has been new information Klein is not expected to miss a great deal of time, no?

11 games in and zuke has been injured and on the sidelines for 2 of them..

How long before he's labeled injury prone ?

Should he change his style or should we "protect" him better out there ?

He should stop being unlucky. Its a massive contact sport, going without injuries is so hilariously rare its not even worth debating.

Nah he is fine just gotta deal with the bumps and bruises, if Fleury could survive being the pest he was in the era he played in then I am sure Zooks can survive too. If he reverts back to a pure finesse game like we saw when he first entered the league he will not be very effective and will be more prone to get hit very hard dipsy doodling around.

One of the most important things I learned playing hockey, which I will teach my kids, is if somebody is coming to hit you then you initiate contact first and deliver a solid check. Hard to get wrecked if you are throwing your weight around as well. Zooks does what he needs to do to survive, he gets gritty and physical because if he didn't he would be in a hospital bed. He doesn't need extra protection, injuries are unavoidable sometimes in a fast contact sport.

I wonder if he has been 100% at all in any games this year. Maybe he needs this break to get back into shape. I also am surprised that he completed the game against Jets with a pulled groin. Everybody that has experience pulled muscles, and especially pulled groin, KNOWs what is going on. You could see that he early in the game struggled to get of the ice several times, and also was grabbing/feeling his groin. First rule in the book when you get these injuries is to stop playing, and get ice and compression as fast as possible.

On the other hand, it can´t be too serious when he actually is able to continue playing the rest of the game.

Anyone know if he has a history with this injury?

Muscle injuries will typically be at their worst 48 hours after the incident, so, while he absolutely should have left the game when he felt that stabbing pain, it was likely pretty unbearable the other day compared to the jets game
