GDT: 11/10/19 | #15 panthers @ RANGERS - 1:00pm MSG

[Kiekura]

Kakko even playing? Didn't hear or see him once.

You mean only one visible is Panarin?

 

[BBKers]

None of those 2 goals on the goalie. Weak defense by Hajek/Trouba/Fox/Fast

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Do you think they could give a guy a few mins to get his breath and put a hat on to interview him....jeez

 

[aufheben]

Well that sucks lol

 

[bl02]

Kakko invisible but doesn’t help that right now his center can’t pass the puck for his life

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Boy if Barkov signs in NYR in the summer of 2022. We'll have a real top 2 centers that can change the momentum of the game at any given time.

Barkov and Strome would be a sick 1-2 punch

 

[NickyLongLegz]

Will never understand what Howden does so well that makes the coaching staff so happy

 

[will1066]

Cats got a lucky bounce on the second goal

 

[Kords]

Perhaps it's a puck support issue?

Most definitely, third line needs balance.

Swapping Kakko and Fast is about more than just helping Kakko at this point.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Howden really hurts that line.

That line doesn't have anyone who can carry the puck out of the zone, and they are all bad defensively so they can't retrieve pucks and even if they do they can't get up ice without dumping it in.

Yeah and it’s two pretty lucky goals, especially the 2nd...

OTOH, we aren’t scoring many goals like that. You gotta earn them in front of the net too.

 

[NickyLongLegz]

Kakko invisible but doesn’t help that right now his center can’t pass the puck for his life

He shouldn’t be on that line. Fast is a very good bottom 6 player and should be in the bottom 6. Not sure why the kid can’t even be given a chance on the top line

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Why did The Hockey Guy drop us 4 spots in his Power Rankings when we won 4 of our last 5 without Zibanejad, against Nashville, Tampa & Carolina?

That guy is a moron, that’s the most likely reason.

He doesn’t pay attention nearly enough to all teams to try and cover the whole league like he does.

 

[Raspewtin]

Howden does not belong on an NHL team

 

[Machinehead]

He’s a bruins fan. I can’t help but think he may have an anti Rangers bias...

 

[I Eat Crow]

Howden should be in the AHL

If Andersson can sit because he can't do anything playing 7 minutes a night with an enforcer and defenseman on his line, then Howden should certainly take a seat at some point.

 

[Leonardo87]

i mean he’s that’s good, right? Lol

 

[Chaels Arms]

The combined efforts of Micheleti and Valiquette to downplay the Rangers getting outshot every game is absolutely hilarious at this point.

Micheleti against Carolina: "You know Sam, shots don't always tell you which team is playing better."

Valiquette after the first intermission today: "IGNORING THE 17 SHOTS AGAINST, I think the Rangers are actually playing pretty well."

 

[mike14]

How many times this season have they given up 15 shots in the first?

Not including tonight, twice

 

[I Eat Crow]

I mean, that's not wrong.

 

[NickyLongLegz]

If Andersson can sit because he can't do anything playing 7 minutes a night with an enforcer and defenseman on his line, then Howden should certainly take a seat at some point.

It’s mind blowing. We don’t have enough room in the future of the team for both Lias and Howden. Do people really see Howden and his potential as better than Lias’? I don’t get it

 

[aufheben]

Not including tonight, twice

That can’t be right lol

 

[Machinehead]

I mean, that's not wrong.

I really don't think it was an accident. Somebody doing a funny.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Howden will never sit because the coach has come to the conclusion and annointed him as a "Dependable", "trustworthy" player. Doesn't matter if it's true or not.
