In what seems almost a yearly occurrence, Mats Zuccarello — the diminutive & wildly popular winger for the Rangers — wins the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award for going “above and beyond the call of duty” on the team. A three-time winner, the man has his own fan chant of “Zuuuuuc” extended to him literally every time he touches the puck…even on the road. He’s the Everyman underdog, very talented, loved, and has lead the team in points 4 of the last 5 seasons.
This week, Mats Zuccarello caused quite a stir after an interview he did with a Norwegian reporter.
