Default Zadorov is my favourite flame (2022)

The guy does it all, he's a big guy who can hit, fight, pinch in on a scoring opportunity, defend, skate the puck out of the d zone. He has his warts, but damn do I like having big Z on this team.

He can knock guys flying, which is delightful

He has been tremendous this year

But he can’t fight so well

Shouldn't this be titled Nikita "frickin" Zadorov??

The turn around from early last season is shocking. Big Z is a beast.

He's easily been our most consistent player this year. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Love Big Z!

Signed here right after the two bozos bailed on the team. Great Flame!

Is it possible he becomes as good as Zdeno Chara? The more responsibility he is given the better he gets!

I've said he's my favorite Flame since I saw this video. Too bad there's no readily available translation. Cool insights on the team. Behind the scenes of the dungeon-like interiors of the Dome. Cool house and family. Defends Sutter.

Also, he supports Ukraine (as reported by fans at games wearing Ukrainian colors).

I would be ecstatic if my son could become this.

He has been solid for a long time but elevated his game this year. What a great pickup for a 3rd round pick. If Kylington could come back our 3 pairs would be perfect

Hanifin-Andersson
Zadorov-Weegar
Kylington-Tanev
Stone

That is a stacked blueline. Big Z and Weegar look great together

He's benefiting a lot from playing with Weegar but he's done a pretty good job this season. Good for him.

Big Z is probably our most improved player along with Vladar

Tanev is still my favorite D on the team, but Z sure is entertaining to watch. I'm glad he has taken some steps this year. I still have some issues when he's playing man defense and loses his man, and the occasional passes to opponents/no one up the middle, but aside from that he's been awesome.

Zadorov is definitely one of those guys where he looks incredible when he has a lot of confidence, and he looks not so great when he has some self-doubt. I'm happy he's found a good home, loved him when he was on the Avs. Was always hilarious to see forwards coming in with speed, then realize they were coming down the boards on Zadorov's side and they would just dump it in.
