New York Rangers fans, the players and coaches, and Mats Zuccarello all knew it was coming. At 8:20 p.m. ET the news broke that the “Hobbit” was no longer a Blueshirt.
Let me be one of the first to say that this sucks. Hockey may be a business first, but there are very few players that come around that have the fans adored as Zuccarello did.
The heart and soul of Rangers will now skate for the Dallas Stars.
Fans across Twitter should the love and respect for a player who really deserved it.
