Nichushkin is the first NHL player ever to go 48 games without a goal or penalty (to start a season)

[Nick Hansen]

Why wouldn't you bench a guy that doesn't score or use his size like at all? 57 hits in 48 games and he's one of the biggest guys in the league. PK or whatever, anyone can do that...

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

The ultimate fantasy hockey player

Nuke meeting with the coaches:

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

You think that's bad? Reider is about to break the games without a goal streak here.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Holy hell that guy is still in the league???

And he still has like 3(?) more years on his contract after this one.

And the Chris Higgins 'meh' trophy goes to....

1 year.

 

[Kcb12345]

1 year.

He's talking about Loui Eriksson

 

[jetsforever]

Interesting

 

[Kcb12345]

Update: No goals or penalties for Nichushkin tonight. The streak continues!

Bishop: "I'm thinking about putting up more zeroes tonight"
Nichushkin: "Hold my beer"

Legitimately thought the guy would be Malkin 2.0 in his draft year. Very disappointing to see how badly he has developed.

Never been the same after he had hip surgery in his sophomore season.

 

[Kranix]

He's amazing

If a tree falls in the woods............

 

[Scott Stevens]

Impact player

 

[Nico Hischier]

I remember being so stoked nj had a chance to draft this guy. They traded the pick to Vancouver who picked horvat

 

[zar]

So he's irrelevant... just like this thread.

 

[NuxFan09]

Geez, to think I was genuinely pissed off when the Canucks drafted Horvat instead.

 

[MrThomas]

Real MVP!!

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I thought for sure he would be a first liner 4-5 years ago

 

[JoVel]

We can take him for a 7th and turn him into a 30 goal scorer.

 

[Firsov99]

Such a shame that his development has stopped. He had a very good potential.

Chris Higgins was a pretty effective player for a lot of years with the Canucks. This is an insult to Higgins.
