Too In Sync to Win | NHL News
Description
When two players are too good together, it might be a problem — not a compliment. The Minnesota Wild’s Mats Zuccarello was let go, allegedly because he and Kirill Kaprizov were so in sync they turned five-on-three games into two-on-five nightmares. It’s a wild idea — but Elliotte Friedman’s got it. We’re seeing this trend across the league: Gretzky & Kurri, Lemieux & Jagr eventually went their separate ways. Younger duos like Celebrini & Smith in San Jose, Makar & Toews in Colorado, and Scheifele & Connor in Winnipeg are showing the same dependency — when separated, scoring drops, mistakes rise, and depth suffers. It’s a fascinating, and maybe dangerous, kind of chemistry.
