[Johnnydollaz89]

After only scoring 3 points in 11 October games, Mats Zuccarello had 12 points in 15 November games and has 6 points in 7 December games.
Dave Maloney said after the Rangers beat the Sabres, “I talked with Jeff Gorton and he brought up that Zuccarello was as good a player that the Rangers have had over the last 10 games. Tonight he just continued to be an offensive player. What I love about him is how patient he is before he decides what to do with the puck.”
Maloney said before the Rangers played the Flames, “he is a wonderful character. What he does in a lot of areas on the ice is that he gets into position to make a play. He is not afraid to stir up. He is very patient with the puck.”
Joe Micheletti said that he spoke with Zuccarello and that Zuccarello is trying to be more patient with the puck and stop trying to rush or force passes and plays.
According to NHL.com, Zuccarello is on pace for 15 goals and 37 assists.

I love the little Hobbit and though he isn;t your proto-typical top 6 player because of his size, he sure is playing like one. Nash, Kreider, Zucc have been our 3 best forwards this season. Zucc is noticeable everytime he is on the ice, and I love the fact he is shooting more, we all know he has tremendous play-making ability, but he also has one of the best shots on the team, IMO. Would love to see us show more committment to him and lock him up for at least 3 more seasons, he's proved he's worth it. And he's showed he is willing to stay here at a cheap price.

Props to the Hobbit, he really has a motor that won't quit.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I love his energy and his ballsyness to go up against the opposing teams biggest player. Nothing stops him.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

He kind of reminds me of Max Talbot, he's a little guy who doesn't seem to realize it.

Pretty good example, just Zucc has a bit more of an offensive game than Mad Max. Love Talbot, wish he was a Ranger, very good player.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Yeah Max is one of my all time favs, gotta love those energetic little guys that don't realize they're little.

Yup, love players like that, like Nathan Gerbe as well. Plays the same way.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Yeah was just thinking of Nathan Gerbe. Nice pickup by the Canes.

He's the exact same player, not the same offensive upside as Zucc, but a similar player. Not afraid of anybody. This may be my favorite Zuccarello moment.

LOL first thought that comes to mind, "put the ring on, Frodo!"

Just love the fact he stands up to all these tough guys that could manhandle him LOL

Yup, like Bilbo Baggins standing up to Smaug.

 

[Pastafazul]

i understand why you appreciate zuccerello, but to me he's is just too weak a player, you got to be strong like a martin st louis to be that kind of an impact player at his size

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Doesn't have the skill that Marty has.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Another 2 points tonight, 14 in his last 13 games

I think only Sid & Datsyuk have the skill that MStL has.

Nice game by him once again. Also good games by Moore & Brassard. I think it was a valiant effort. Rangers played well, could've gone either way.

I wish Brassard would play a little more consistent, much like Zucc is.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Yeah, Brassard seems really good 1 game, then goes invisible for a few. If he could bring his A game more often, he could be a real star for the Rangers. Right now the Rangers 2 brightest stars appear to be Kreider & Zuccarello. They seem to bring their A game every night.

Bring me the game he brought in the playoffs where he was a near point per game player and tore it up, I would love that.

Definitely agree with you about Kreider and Zucc. Both have adjusted to the system pretty well.
