Stierlitz Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Well I think with his size and style of play the bug description fits pretty well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Google Translate...it would have exposed such a lie. So! For a little while, anyway, we could have enjoyed the lie. Zhuk is actually of Lithuanian origin, and his name means - Winner of many Cups. See, just that easy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the young posters think Alf is muppet character from Sesame Street. I think Zhuk is a great name as it is. I wonder what his nick name will be?

wshdrvvn Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 This came up in the McCann thread so I figured I'd move the discussion over here. He's been taking a few faceoffs in the pre-season so it would appear they have tried him as a center. But, the number of faceoffs he's taken has fallen off quite a bit. My take is that they intend to play him on the wing with Roy as his center. Which also supports having a top line of: Paquin-Boudreau - Roy - Zhukenov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good he's on their top line, regardless. If he's turned into a winger, he will still be a puck hound. I like this kid A LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 An interesting point is that Jared McCann is listed at only 1" taller and 5 Lbs. heavier then Zukenov ...hmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 An interesting point is that Jared McCann is listed at only 1" taller and 5 Lbs. heavier then Zukenov ...hmmmm.... McCann is pretty skinny. He's gonna have to bulk up quite a bit too in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 McCann is pretty skinny. He's gonna have to bulk up quite a bit too in the next few years. Yeah, HE needs to get on something closer to the diet mentioned in the Shinkaruk thread. He shouldn't get excessively bulky either but his play style and position would be helped my a bit more mass vs Shink IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I think that's him on the left. Wow he's 18 that's one massive growth spurt he will need. Maybe if he wore a trench coat and sat on Tryamkins shoulders. Benning would be a genius if he pulled that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Clearly Zhukenov is far too small! Clearly your reality isn't crystal clear...all the other players are far to big.... Zukenov is the perfect size for the new NHL...too small to be seen, with all the other big bodies around he can just skate by one and disappear behind another...
