The thing that concerns me about Zucc is his size. There's so little space in the playoffs and everyone ramps up the physical play. How long can a player with that frame last in the playoffs? He doesn't have the speed of a Marty St. Louis to escape contact. I admire his guts, but he's getting knocked around.

There are also more disturbing problems, like why does a team with the Rangers resources that is supposed to be a serious contender having to rely on bringing over a player who was in Europe for almost the entire season for much-needed offense.

Another offensively challenged roster built by Sather.

teams tighten up defensively in the playoffs and theres a lot less time and space to make things happen. people think zuccs won't be able to handle the playoffs with such little time and space. personally i dont think hes looked much worse or better than anyone else. except nash, i thought hes been good.

Thanks. Would like to see him with Nash for a game or two more. Don't see why not, the Hags, Callahan, Stepan line has been great untill recently, and Zuke Richards Nash was going pretty good too. He's pretty good to find space for other players. Could see him getting smacked around a bit, but he's always been taking hits and right back up again, part of his play.

Haha :handclap:

"Make sure to pack the soil in firmly, but not too firm."

3-2 Rangers.

Now I am envisioning him wearing one of those aprons with gloves and a giant hat with a smile on his face.

A far cry from his usual angry looking demeanor.

We shouldn't be focusing on Zucc, we should be much more worried about Nash and Stepan not doing anything.

Really disappointing post-season after a promising end of the regular season.

Mike Sullivan's garden set up would probably have a bunch of flowers all bunched together, and then no flowers anywhere else, emulating our powerplay.

True enough. But Zucc played less in game 2, Dan might have a point.

At least it will not come as a shock (for our Norwegian friends) if Zuccarello is actually a healthy scratch tonight.

In fairness, Steve Nash does in fact have 0 goals with the team so he fits right in.

Also, the Main Board doesn't have a GDT and I must do something about it. Mother of God.

Nash grew up in BC. Big kid with superb playmaking skills and world class agility. Could go top 10 this draft.
