He may not be the worst 3oa in NHL history, but he can't be far off.
He's not exactly Ekblad. This was a PTO, don't understand the $2per.
Makes me wonder if Sutter reached out AND THEN BT secured a much better version in Zadorov.
I can't see him drawing in much beyond Zadorov's suspensions. Zadorov loves the hitting. The NHL, notsomuch. He'll get suspended for being a really good checker.
It's the NHL. Surprised the refs let his "pop" on Podkolzin(?) let it go to a Flames goal.
That's the Zady we need. A Dman that introduces himself properly. "POW". "Hi everyone".
Can't wait to see more of that. Love that we have a "I love hitting" Russian dman.
So far, he's making me forget about Phaneuf. Next up, if Zady can be Regher, I'm calling BINGO. Exacting intimidation, good D play.
We need more Russians.
Hope he reads this, seeing as he isn't from NA and probably knows how to laugh. Lucic wasn't enough. Ritchie became 1st line just to protect Johnny.
We've intimidated zero teams with aggression for too many years now. So everyone laughed at us last year as, "a team with no identity".
Constant. Nobody was afraid to get hit in our Dzone, Completely owned in the neutral zone.
Opposition didn't worry about us being tough with big checks.
Thank you for choosing Calgary. You'll be loved.
