Stoner Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Mike Schopp @Schopptalk 1m Nikita Zadorov, Sabres first-round draft pick, next on @WGR550. Also they talked to Dale Hunter about Zadorov and that is on WGR as well. Hunter said Zadorov loves to hit and protect his teammates. Also he came from Russia but quickly assimilated and his teammates love the guy. Think that Zadorov should take 1 more year in OHL to round out his game but has a lot of untapped potential. PS. Everytime I hear Zadorov talk about being drafted and how it is his dream to be in the NHL and he is so happy to be in Buffalo... makes me really really like him. I think I am love :wub: J'adorov!
beerme1 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Schoop no clue? I wouldn't have guessed that. Zadorov says he likes Karlsson but not Chara. That is interesting to me. I raised my hands like he just scored when I heard him say he doesn't like Chara. How cool that this guys got a built in dislike for someone none of us like lol :thumbsup: Welcome to Buffalo kid. We're gonna like you. Dale Hunter his London coach says we'll love him. I think Miller would too. "He had the biggest hits on our team and he’s not afraid to hit anybody on the other team, no matter who it is." Hunter said Zadorov won over his teammates immediately when he fought one of the toughest players in the OHL in his very first game. Zadorov went looking for the fight after a big hit against one of his new teammates." http://www.wgr550.com/Dale-Hunter-Sabres-fans-will-love-Zadorov/16730709

darksabre Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Don't worry I'm full on chub already He just looks like a bad ass. Now he sounds like one too. He's a friggin horse. Pure meat. Let's call him Chunk.
bunomatic Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 He just looks like a bad ass. Now he sounds like one too. He's a friggin horse. Pure meat. Let's call him Chunk. How about Slaborov ? But seriously if Hunter likes his toughness that says something coming from Dale. Lets hope he translates that to the big club. That would be swell.
LGR4GM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 He just looks like a bad ass. Now he sounds like one too. He's a friggin horse. Pure meat. Let's call him Chunk. His first OHL fight... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZQkUqzMVhs
26CornerBlitz Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Wow he took a lot of punches... He went up against a 19 year old tough guy at 17. At least he stepped up to the challenge in support of a teammate.
LGR4GM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Zadorov will be on SHH at 10:15 okay maybe its more like 10:30... but he is coming up!
LGR4GM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Zadorov on Ristolainen "If he better, he should be playing." Meaning in the NHL next year. I like how he is so open and unselfish about others being better and how he needs to work hard and hopefully make the team this year or definitely next.
26CornerBlitz Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 You guys no have money here? Love that! No KHL for this kid.
LaFontaineToMogilny Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Zadorov on Ristolainen "If he better, he should be playing." Meaning in the NHL next year. I like how he is so open and unselfish about others being better and how he needs to work hard and hopefully make the team this year or definitely next. Aaaah! Hope springs eternal! I have no clue about this guy, but I already love him like my own son. Obviously the franchise player we needed!!! Can't wait for the promo vids of him saying "Boston. I must break you"
26CornerBlitz Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 I'm surprised the Flyers drafted Morin over Zadorov. Great for the Sabres let us hope.
LGR4GM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Aaaah! Hope springs eternal! I have no clue about this guy, but I already love him like my own son. Obviously the franchise player we needed!!! Can't wait for the promo vids of him saying "Boston. I must break you" He said he likes Pronger and wants to play like Pronger. Then he added it up with I am not Pronger I am Nikita. "I think he is not dirty, he played tough against best forwards... Like I play like Nikita Zadorov not like not Chris Pronger because I am Nikita Zadorov. I play my game because it's my style and I hit first." "I want to play in the best league in the world" meaning NHL. At the combine he was asked by teams/scouts "if you play here a couple more years and not make the NHL team and KHL team ask for you, you wanna go and get some money? Like a lot of money? So I ask, like so you guys don't have money here?" - Nikita Zadorov. Andrew Peters "If you play like Pronger..." "No I play like Nikita" Zadorov I am just going to say it... everytime I hear Zadorov speak I fall more in love with him. They asked him what if he has to go back to OHL and he was like that is okay I will be here next year. We have the memorial cup this year. Cool as a cucumber and even has a sense of humor. Love this guy :wub:
Stoner Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Will we get his name right? He says Za-DORE-iv. Peters and Kevbo kept saying Za-dore-OFF or Za-dore-OV. You know Rick's gonna hit the last syllable. (Which reminds me of a story Jim Lorentz told about how when he came to Buffalo he was Jim "Lawrence" but Rick convinced him "Lo-RENTZ" sounded better.)

Team won,” Zadorov said. “Every day people score goals. I don’t think it’s great thing.” Excellent stuff! I will stop with preposition. Blame my Scandinavian origins. Sound more badass.

darksabre Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 We finally have a replacement for Spachoman. :wub:
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 My favorite thing is he refers to the team and city as BUF......not Buffalo. "I go to BUF", "I love the BUF".........surprisingly charming.
Stoner Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Will someone do a Sabres version of "We didn't start the fire" already? Zadorov would be fun to rhyme.
