    Thank you for asking my question Scott Oake and I loved how Zadorov answered the question. I too dislike how clean hits = fights nowadays. But Nikita is a beast on the ice. I was streaming about the Canucks game and my phone was blowing up from friends that saw my question being asked on HNIC After Hours. I love having Zadorov on our Canucks and I really hope he re-signs and stays in Vancouver for a long time. He's the player we need and want on our team.
