Will Zibanejad Score a Goal in the ECF?

[Abe Froman]

Mika is averaging a little over a point per game in the playoffs, but has no goals or assists in the ECF. What say you?

If he doesn't he has to change his name to Michael Zibanejad

[Valriera]

Not the way he’s currently playing he won’t

Hat trick incoming.

Except that logic is the opposite of how this Rangers' team works lol. @Pete's right — he's probably scoring a hatty next.

Be nice if he followed the Jason Robertson playbook. No goals in last 10 games. Responds with a huge hattrick to win the game.

probably not i have no hope for the CK-Zib line to score 5 on 5 whatsoever

This thread needs 5 bumps.

 

He is a disaster right now.

You need to break these two butt buddies up. Plain and simple. They’re not playing well against this team together. Time to try something new. They can cry in one another’s arms before the game. I don’t care. This is a mess. It’s one thing to not perform. It’s another when you’re hurting the team. Mika is hurting this team right now. Bad.

I’d like to see laviolette work the home ice matchups with them next game. He threw him out there vs barkov at home and he’s just getting caved in. Barkov is going to beat everyone in terms of o zone time, so put together a checking line with wennberg and let them handle the assignment. Get Zib something a bit less taxing and hopefully build his confidence a bit. 
 

Idk what else you can do though aside from him waking up. He’s been the worst center we have and it’s not close.

We never clarified which team he would score a goal for. So mission accomplished tonight. 

[RichieNextel305]

This mental snowflake has to dig himself out here. Or else.

[jsm7302]

My sources say no..

[Dem]

[Jdog99]

That’s a pretty lame stat. Panarin has four game winning goals this year alone in the playoffs. The guy is not built for playoff hockey but it’s not like he’s disappeared this series, he has three points and has been great throughout so far. 
 

Mika on the other hand has been downright atrocious this series. I have no qualms with criticizing any players making this type of money but that is not the stat to look at. It’s Mika flopping with the net empty trying to draw a call instead of trying to win the puck. That’s the horseshit that loses games, not panarin finding a way to pick up points while physically out matched.
