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

[Kovalev27]

If Georgie wins tonight and he’s been real sharp in his second game after a break, there’s no way he doesn’t play tomorrow as well. He’s been so good on the road not as much at home.

I think hank goes Sunday though at home

I was waiting for this. It seems to be a luck charm this and the voodoo doll.

Ed Jovanovski's realistic score predictions?

 

[EdJovanovski]

5,716-0 NYR

Kreider crashing into Price & scoring (3,288)
Gauthier crashing into Price & scoring (4,427)
Shesterkin might skate all the way down the rink and get in another crash too (1)

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I don't want playoffs, but who gives a f***. We will beast till the end of the season.

Ed Jovanovski's realistic score predictions?

Yeah that too! Ok everyone keep doing what you normally do in GDT.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

I think Hank should play against Philly. He knows the gravity of the situation. It would show a lot of character to play well in both Philly games. Def. PO implications and a lot of pressure. See what he can do. See how he responds to it.

Hank and afternoon games are questionable. He has a history of a "routine" that includes an afternoon nap. Which is why he seemed to not be very sharp during afternoon games throughout his career.

Your math is a bit off

No it’s not

Honestly even losing this game in OT/SO wouldn’t hurt that much.

Please let’s win.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I love how we’re getting to 5 pages 5 hours before the game even starts. Nobody can convince me tanking is good for the spirit. I’m a huge hockey fan like many of you so I still enjoy the playoffs when the Rangers aren’t in it, but man do I ever miss us being in it. I can’t believe we have a realistic shot, in so excited for every game now. And I assure you the players feel the same way, it is crucial for their development

Funny how he posted right after I asked.

Saturday isn't an afternoon game.

I’m just saying a reasonable expectation of 2 points (in any fashion) out of this B2B wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

 

[EpicDing]

No it’s not

I'm probably just missing a joke but your total is 2000 short.

I demand accuracy in my ridiculous pregame predictions, damnit

 

[Leonardo87]

So, 3 games in the next 4 days (Thanks NHL), does Hank get at least one of these starts? Not saying he should or not, just curious.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I'd actually rather see Howden in the 1RW spot to keep that 3rd line together in Buch's absence than move Chytil. It's working to have Chytil at center, but equally important to me, it's been working for Kakko!

We don't play on Saturday we play on Sunday which is a 1200Pm game...

Why do we need to see how Hank responds? And no way he plays both Philly games. Go with the better, hot goalie. Right now that seems to be Georgiev. If the Rangers keep winning I don't care if Hank plays another game all year

Sorry, I was looking at the 2001-02 schedule.

I'm confused as to why MTL is favorties in this game?

Because analytics are trash

Home team, and Montreal’s expected goal share is through the roof.

I need to start betting on NHL games.

I'll wait until we're down 4-0 though in the 2nd.... need to find some LIVE bets

I feel like hockey is a terrible betting sport. Much like face offs, unless a team is really bad or on the 2nd night of a B2B, most games are 50/50, give or take 5%. Maybe if you just always bet on the underdogs.
