Hokeja fani soctīklos priecīgi atkal redzēt Latvijas Lokomotīvi Bufalo "Sabres" sastāvā

"Sabres" ar 29 gadus veco Girgensonu noslēdza viena gada līgumu 2,5 miljonu ASV dolāru vērtībā.

Girgensons desmit sezonās "Sabres" kreklā paspējis aizvadīt jau 625 spēles un pēdējās divās sezonās viņš bija kapteiņa palīgs.

Nākamajā sezonā Zemgum būs iespēja ielauzties "Sabres" vēstures lapaspusēs – Top 10 aizvadītajos mačos.

Šā brīža noslēgtais līgums ir lielākais Girgensona karjerā. Zemgus pagājušā sezonā aizvadīja 80 spēles un tajās sakrāja 18 rezultativitātes punktus – desmit vārtus un astoņas piespēles.

Tikmēr soctīklos "Sabres" klubs un fani bija priecīgi, ka Latvijas Lokomotīve atgriežas sastāvā, tāpat līdzjutēji teica labus vārdus Girgensonam.

Vairāki fani nākamsezon vēlas redzēt, kā Girgensons piedalās Stenlija kausa izcīņā ar Bufalo komandu, jo viņš to ir pelnījis. Girgensons "Sabres" paspārnē jau ir kopš 2013. gada, taču ne reizi nav spēlējis NHL izslēgšanas mačos.

All aboard the Latvian Locomotive! 🚂

We have re-signed Zemgus Girgensons to a one-year contract worth $2.5 million.

The Sabres announce winger Zemgus Girgensons signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract.

They couldn’t offer term like other teams would on the open market, but Girgensons chose to return.

With 57 games played Zemgus Girgensons will pass Rick Martin for 10th place on the Sabres all time games played list.

Zemgus Girgensons and Kyle Okposo really want to be part of the next Sabres team that qualifies for the playoffs.

🇱🇻🇱🇻The current longest tenured Sabre is returning! Zemgus Girgensons signs for one more year at $2.5M! Great fourth-line winger! Has always been with Buffalo since drafted 14th overall in 2012; I really hope he can see the postseason this coming year! #LetsGoBuffalo #HeavyHockey

I’m glad the Sabres signed Zemgus Girgensons. He deserves to be here when better times come, he went through all the bad. He’s also got grit and character, good size. And he’s scored 13 goals per 82 games the past 3 seasons – good output for a 4th liner.#Sabres #letsgobuffalo

The 29-year-old Girgensons is the longest-tenured player on the Sabres roster, and he served as an alternate captain for the past two seasons. https://t.co/Yk1Rj8KbiV

I implore Zemgus Girgensons to prove everyone wrong and have a warrior like season to help lead this band of vibey ass dood bros to the promised land

There were options to upgrade this summer
