Mats Zuccarello With One of The Nicer Defensive Plays You'll See All Week
The level of focus and agility Zucc displayed here.. The ability to keep calm under pressure, and remain ready to make the big play, and get his stick up into Frans Nielsen’s face is something all fans alike can admire.
Okay, I’m very a little biased on this one, but this non-call on Zuccarello’s attempt [using the world lightly] to breakup a Frans Nielsen breakaway was mind bottling to say the least.
Huge game, with all teh goals being scored tonight [there were 7 collectively in the 1st period alone] and a two goal lead on his forehand, all Fransie had to do was put it backhand, a shot he bangs home 8/10 times, and we all eatin’. But little-man Zucc know it’s money if #51 opens up the gap, and got away with one.
All tied with 7 left in the 3rd. What a game ladies and gents. What a game.
