GDT: Game # 23: New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens, 1pm ET, MSG

Trade assets for Smith for him to be healthy scratched 20 games in

A Chris Drury masterclass

Smith is almost the perfect definition of JAG, but 2nd and 7th for a JAG who scores 40 with a pretty low cap hit seems like a very standard price and we needed a JAG without knowing if Berard and Othmann were ready.
He'll get traded for a 3rd or so at the deadline

After trading similar assets for Wennberg at the deadline and not re-signing him.

If chytil couldn't play yesterday then there's no reason for him to play today. We all know what's going on with him. You don't put his health in jeopardy bc the team sucks.

 

[Atax]

Chytil line will play well. We'll probably get a PP goal or 2 today. Maybe eek out a win. Get to watch some loving embraces and how they hope that this win will turn the season around.

Meanwhile the SOG will be like 20-63(Montreal) and Quick makes about 30 high danger saves. Lindgren and Trouba will continue to be awful and Miller will have about 5 brain dead turnovers.

KK getting punished for playing solid hockey

They're are also masking those same D pairings with that fire first line. haha

 

[The Undertaker]

Incoming disasterclass from Zib/Kreider. These 2 always show their true colors when demoted.

Will be rewarded with PP time and probably lead the team in TOI.

 

[McRanger92]

LOLing that Meeka not taking the first line rush in warmups is considered a demotion

 

[Profet]

Poor Kakko

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lindgren - Fox

Kreider - Zib

Lav really reaching deep into his bag of tricks for this one.

 

[Siddi]

Oh boy, here we go again.

Lindgren - Fox

Kreider - Zib

Lav really reaching deep into his bag of tricks for this one.

Can you imagine either of them trying to clear the front of the crease.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I wonder if Caufield's forehead is going to marry Fox's chin someday.

 

[BlueShirtGal]

Do they have a win in them today? Sure hope so. LGR!

 

[RangersFan1994]

Wow Berard playing over Smith. Finally playing youth over vets. Smith was a waste of a trading a draft pick. FIRE DRURY

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Lindgren/Fox hasn't worked for like 2 years. Why is this still a thing? I know there's a lot of Miller hate around here, but Miller/Fox has been WAY better.

 

[Tob]

I want dave maloney or someone to call out the fact no player has ever worked with zibanejad and kreiser because tjey are lazy and play lazy cheating hockey and it’s not wheeler or kakko or smith or any of the 12,000 players pn thst line. Those two are cancer and we have to cure it

That decision would have to come directly from Dolan at this juncture, right?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Insane that Smith is already a scratch, Drury should be fired for his terrible assset management if we’re being real.

 

[Atax]

You mean actual effort, Joe?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Chytil already making his presence known

 

[Leonardo87]

Already see a difference with Chytil back.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Confirmed, he really does hate Kakko.

 

[mike14]

Chytil back and a pass actually finds its target...
