ORIGINAL: Bruce Johnson quote:
ORIGINAL: stfrank This Wild team is quickly growing on me and making me think there is a real good chance they make the playoffs this season. Kaprizov is really special and Zuccarello appears to have regained the play he had when he was with the Rangers and looks really good. Bjugstad's quote about him sums up this team right now, "It seems like Zuccarello came into the lineup, he brought his swagger in with it and we all kind of followed." Wasn't the signing of Zuccarello pretty universally condemned, (for throwing a lot of money at an aging player) or am I thinking of someone else? I think you are correct. Last season he did indeed look like a very bad signing with his poor play. At that time, who knew he was playing with a bad shoulder that was greatly affecting his game. If he continues to be the player we have seen so far this season, I think a lot of us will have second thoughts about his "bad contract."
