Zuccarello set for an emotional return to MSG
Getty ImagesMats Zuccarello played 509 regular season games and another 60 contests in the playoffs for the Rangers. There are so many great highs in Zucc’s Blueshirts career, topped with the 2014 run to the Cup, but he was loved for his heart. Before he makes his 1st appearance at MSG since the trade tonight, it was his heart that made him so special.
I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone just how special Zuccarello is. I wanted to remind everyone of his numerous Steven McDonald Extra Effort Awards and the countless smiles he’s brought to fans and teammates. Most of all, I wanted to remind you about the time Zuccarello almost died playing for the name on the front of the jersey.
