GDT: #63 - 02/27/20 | Rangers @ Canadiens | 7:00 PM ET

[MetalJaws]

Winning streak, playoff hunt, and game in Montreal. Those 3 mixed together don't usually bode well for us.

Team is almost completely different than the last regime. We should all expect more from these guys and have more confidence in them.

LGR!

Survive the first 10 minutes.

Almost impossible for us in that building though

Grip your seat and hang on because they're going to come out hard, as always. Defend your zone well and hope Geo is locked and loaded.

 

[MetalJaws]

Howden is the least skilled offensive guy on the team. He's sound defensively and helps on the PK. He might carve out a little career for himself as a 4th line Center.

However, regardless of who's in the lineup. He should Never sniff any line but the 4th.

 

[Kovalev27]

Have you ever been in a car accident? I’m not being sarcastic either. I’m genuinely asking.

The soreness can come in waves. The fact that he practiced doesn’t mean he is able to play.

yes unfortunately and I’ve been shaken and sore. But I’m not going to compare to an nhl athlete. However this guy was reported as fine just shaken up. It’s been 4 days he’s skating the last two laughing having a good time. Get out there and play

He's our poor man's Cirelli. He's probably a future Nate Thompson.

Very poor mans Cirelli. Goat, McKegg and PDG have all shown more. I get that Quinn likes Howden because he' safe and very coachable. I just can't believe he put em in that 3rd C spot for as long as he has. Eye test is very obvious he's not skilled offensively in the slightest.

Staple his ass to the 4th line and PK2.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Howden got off to a really great start last year but ever since hasn’t been able to get a nice hot streak going. I mean he wasn’t expected to be top 6 player but I think the Hope was maybe a number 3 C. Still young so still had time to figure it out

Still plenty of time. He needs to improve his skating.

 

[MetalJaws]

I wonder if there can be a solid young C prospect like Zegras, Cozens or Newhook to be had for some of our guys and picks. I rather grab a 20 year old guy ready to hop in now than draft 2 guys this year who are 3 years out.

Maybe something like Cozens or Zegras for Georgiev, Buch, Lias and a 1st.

Or maybe Lias comes back with a vengeance. Yea, I know wishful thinking.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Unsure why Kakko doesn't atleast get a game on the top line to keep the balance at c

Zegras isnt moving. Confident in saying that Newhook wont be either.

Buffalo is in a spot where they basically have to try to do everything and anything. So maybe?

 

[Siddi]

Absolutely. I’ve been in a few. One I got a concussion which sucked. The others I was sore for weeks particularly in my upper back

Maybe you should stay away from cars

 

[Mac n Gs]

Justin St. Pierre doing his 1000th game tonight in MTL and is one of the more generally hated referees. Not saying I smell something fishy, but yeah, tonight could be ugly.

Buffalo needs NHL players in the worst way and a goaltender. Could be something there.

I love where the Rangers are right now. I just feel an asset like that can get Chytil to the Wing in the top 6 and a guy like that can step into the lineup at 3rd line C almost immediately. Way higher ceiling than LA or Howden.

I have. 5 times. Twice hitting a big ole moose. Once hitting a fully loaded logging truck, head on, that by accident ventured onto my side of the road with nowhere left to go (breaking 27 bones and necessitating numerous surgeries). Twice as a passenger with serious injuries. Not recommended...

 

[Harbour Dog]

I remember being absolutely savage that Hank had to stand up for himself there.

With the guys we have now, I like to think that wouldn't be a problem.

I don't care if you are an NHL athlete or if you look like Belgium's Minister of Health. A car accident can and will have an impact lasting more than a day or two.

 

[Fugazy]

Good times...

This is what concerns me.

 

[bl02]

Great more Chytil at wing when he was beasting at center. Not gonna lie disappointed Buch isn't ready. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play by Sunday the earliest
