Zuccarello has 91 points in his last 78 games

[WesMcCauley]

2022/2023 season: 5 goals 7 assists= 12 points in 8 games

2021/2022 season: 24 goals 55 assists=79 points in 70 games

35 years old, never played better and is performing at an elite level. He obviously led NYR in scoring four times but never scored more than 61 points in any of those seasons. Pretty crazy production from an undrafted and smaller player so late in his career.

Playing with Kaprizov obviously helps but it's not like Zuccarello is being carried by Kaprizov. Zuccarello is clearly a big part of why the duo is playing so well together.

Ray Whitney thinks that’s pretty cool.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Carries by Kaprizov but he’s still a good player. Hope he sticks around the league a while

 

[miscs75]

It’s amazing the things you can do with a hockey stick that’s just as tall as Chara

 

[SI90]

That’s actually really impressive

 

[PullHard]

He's like a lizard with his stick

 

[CupInSIX]

The sugarman is just too sweet

I’m sry but thats not even that impressive. Lots of players have high pt totals over the past year. The league is trending that way. High scoring. So like why is this thread worthy?

Cause he’s 35 and is still playing prime hockey.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

He's always had the IQ and skill of a star player, but lacks the dynamic attributes of Kaprizov. It's not surprising they compliment each other so well.

That’s funny, I’ve always thought the same

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Miss Zuc on the Rangers but really happy to see him doing so well

You could probably argue that he's either entering his prime or surpassing it, considering his previous career high is ~60 points.

 

[Elvs]

Not gonna lie, he might be the best Norwegian player in the league.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Not gonna lie, he might be the best Norwegian player in the league.

Nah, he might be the best Norwegian player in Universe.

Pretty much this and has 8 PPP to go with 4 ESP and anyone thinking that he will be a player come playoff time will get the usual .46 PPG in the playoffs but still it's good to see right?

 

[PullHard]

That’s funny, I’ve always thought the same

Are you Paul Fenton?

He's only played 700 NHL games. Most top 6 players at his age have played a lot more. There is a lot less wear and tear on his body because of it.

He might be a complimentary player, but he's a damn good one. Very smart, very skilled, keeps himself in good shape, and understands completely how to play with Kaprizov. While it's true he is somewhat riding on his coat tails, everyone forgets that his centers have been players like Ryan Hartman, Freddy Gaudreau, and at times Victor Rask, Tyson Jost, and Nick Bjugstad.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Seriously one of the most underrated players in this league, maybe the most underrated in the last 15-20 years. Nobody talks about him and then you look at his stats and he flirts with PPG in many seasons and puts up assists with the best of them.

I remember people laughing at the Wild after that contract but after that 1st season he's been absolute money.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Among the most underrated in the NHL, and always has been.

Only 15 NHLers in the entire league racked up more than 91pts last season.

I'm not sure how many are off to as good a start this year, but Zucc clearly picked up where he left over, over a PPG.

Makes me wish Dallas still had him.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Not gonna lie, he might be the best Norwegian player in the league.

@super6646 Nah that title goes to Brady Skjei.

 

[TheNumber4]

Him and Kap have a Teemu-Kariya thing going on.

 

[NickyFotiu]

My favorite player in the last 10 years.

 

[Reality Czech]

Not too shabby. I've always been a fan. Talented player with a little jam in his game.
