Zadorov Gets On Bruins Fans Good Side After Sticking Up For Top Defensemen Following Ugly Hit
Nikita Zadorov just got on the Boston Bruins fans good side after sticking up for Brandon Carlo following a dirty hit from Jamie Benn.
Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov may have finally got on the Boston Bruins fans good side after sticking up for Brandon Carlo.
Zadorov since being brought into the Bruins organization has had a lot of controversy around him for making terrible plays, and taking a lot of unnecessary penalties that have come back to bite the Bruins.
In 17 games with the Boston Bruins Zadorov has just five points, and 29 penalty minutes... 29!!
After originally being placed on the top line with Charlie McAvoy, Zadorov has bounced around between the top defensive pairing and the third pairing despite the Bruins signing him to a massive six-year, $5 million deal in the off-season.
During the opening frame of the Bruins-Stars game, Jamie Benn sent Brandon Carlo head-first into the boards and Nikita Zadorov quickly came to his defence.
Here is the hit in question:
Jamie Benn boards Brandon Carlo from behind. Carlo was down for quite a bit of time.
Carlo has a history of concussions.
Brandon Carlo has a bad history of concussion issues, but the Bruins got some good news after Carlo ended up exiting the game as he ended up returning.
Brandon Carlo is back on the Bruins bench.
Bruins fans quickly voiced their opinion on Zadorov coming to his defence and loved it take a look:
Zadorov cleaned up the trash haha
The refs should have let Zadorov get a few more shots in. Gutless play by Benn.
Give him a raise
Let's go Zaddy Daddy
Although Zadorov has been involved in some controversy with the Bruins in his short time in the organization, fans seem to be coming around with him.
