GDT: #3 - 10/07/18 | RANGERS @ hurricanes | 5:00 - MSG

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Howden is the real deal boys.

I specifically wanted him in tbe McDonagh trade but I didn’t think he’d look this good this early.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Carolina just never gonna beat the Rangers again.

 

[Doctyl]

Play Nams and VL and I dont care about the lines. It would be hard to put a bad line on the ice. No more of this 7D BS, just bench Staal

 

[PG Canuck]

I don't think I'd go that far. Quinn is probably still fiddling with combos to see what works.

And honestly, as much as a good chunk of us don't want to admit it, KZF has been a better line than KZB.

Ok good, was just wondering. Felt heartbroken not seeing Zib and Buch lineup together and thought it might be an AV situation all over again.

 

[Waivers]

Best play Namestnikov has made in quite some time. He needs to do that more often and use his body. That's his game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

You're not rebuilding right.

No, we are.

 

[CasusBelli]

I’d like to keep that line together for a bit. The three players (especially Howden and Kreider) seem to read each other well.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Nice start here. Nam is proving he's not dead. Howden with an assist.

 

[Machinehead]

My thoughts on that Kreider goal

 

[Kovalev27]

KZB honestly has never really produced at even strength. Not for nothing. Pretty hyped up but only really has done anything on the PP.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Guys if howden is this good. And Lias is as good as projected. In a couple years Well look like the 2012 squad with crazy depth.

 

[bl02]

Howden 2 Mcdonagh/JT-0

 

[Ghost of jas]

Howden on pace for 82 points.

And leads the team in scoring.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Ok good, was just wondering. Felt heartbroken not seeing Zib and Buch lineup together and thought it might be an AV situation all over again.

It still might be. Everyone wants to assume it'll be different, but thats just giving the new coach the benefit of the doubt early on. Its too early to know for sure.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Howden looks like he's still playing in the WJC. Somebody needs to tell him that the NHL is supposed to be tougher than juniors.

 

[Krams]

The pace of these games are so refreshing compared to AV hockey

 

[duhmetreE]

When will the, Howden > Andersson conversation, start?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Gonna be really telling to look at defensmen ice time after this game I hope.

 

[Doctyl]

Guys if howden is this good. And Lias is as good as projected. In a couple years Well look like the 2012 squad with crazy depth.

We have crazy depth now. Lias and Kravtsov are going to just add to it.

 

[rmhulse]

Howden making the most of his minutes, I’m loving it

 

[mrmovies779]

Howden is very quickly showing hes ready for this league and has no intention of going back to the AHL.

 

[EpicDing]

2018-19 points:

Howden 2
McDonagh & Miller 1

Howden + Namestnikov 3
McDonagh + Miller 1

 

[Ail]

By rights Howden had such an awful camp he should be riding the bus, but he's been one of their best players thus far. Incredible turn around.

 

[Kovalev27]

21 to 20 looked real familiar there. Did a double take

 

[Trxjw]

Howdy. Mah boy.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

How on earth is regular season Justin Williams juking staal
