He'll play well enough to stay with the team
only to totally disappoint for the next 3 seasons afterwards.

Maybe the Oilers should have at least tried to do something/anything on that PP.
They were acting like they had already won with 3 minutes left.

He's gotta be gone no matter what after this season. That contract could potentially be crippling should he need/decide to retire early.

God, I wished we signed Elias.

Jesus Eberle can make some beautiful goals.

Old man Brodeur getting worked.

Yay!
Kings go on PP, Boyle wins the ensuing faceoff in the defensive zone, McDonagh fires the puck down the ice, Quick goes out to play it and knocks it in his own net. SHG 5 seconds into the PP.
David Perron is awesome. He's like a grittier Eberle.
So we have 2 Jordan Eberles. And one Taylor Hall, one NUUUUUGEEEE, and one Yakupov. Oh, also one Hemsky.
Feels good man.

That's something I always wanted to see happen and I missed it, I turned off the game after the 2nd.

Hey Leafs fans, wait about a month so Coyle gets healthy again and we'll give you Zucker for Gardiner.
Eh? Eh?

Very similar, yes. Quick lost his stick too but actually knocked it into the net with his blocker and tried to chase after it.

Must be those good goaltending fundamentals the Kings commentators were talking about.
Edit: It's like he forgot about the puck when he was retrieving his stick.

Not the best angle but you get the idea.
:lol that's eerily similar to the Brodeur one.
are you stupid?
Who turns a game off when it's 3-0 with a period to go? Right, Devils hockey.

No...? I was mostly joking, but making a trade like the one I proposed is certainly in the realm of possibility and is certainly one I would endorse.
Zucker is a fantastic scorer. Fan favorite. Really fun to watch.
But he's horrible defensively. He has suffered from plenty of small minor injuries in the past. He is small on an already small team(28th, I believe, in average size and 16th in weight? He doesn't help in either category).
If Nino emerges to be a 2nd line threat like he could, we have room to maneuver when it comes to Zucker going forward. He's got a skillset nobody else in our prospect pool has but at the same time you have to maximize assets. Gardiner is an NHL ready defender and has potential to be a day in day out top-4 guy.
In my opinion, that is more valuable to the team long term than a middling one-dimensional second line forward.
How big of a temper tantrum did he throw?Not the best angle but you get the idea.
There are many other prospects we have that would be better to trade then Zucker. Fontaine, Phillips, Scandella, Bulmer, and Haula would be traded ahead of Zucker.
You don't trade talent like Zucker when he has had a total of 20 games in the NHL and shown that he can be a everyday top 6 player.
Ha
Really solid game, saw a lot of stuff to like. Brad Richards played one hell of a game, probably his best overall game since before the lockout. Nash was a beast out there. Whole team was grinding, working, and showing the kind of energy that had been totally missing throughout preseason. Really good stuff to build off of.
PP looked vile, though, and way too many odd man rushes given up, especially while on the PP. Hank looked like he was in true Lundqvist form for the first time this season too.
Sharks tomorrow!
