GDT: Game 78: New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens, 7pm ET, MSG2

[NickyFotiu]

I like sitting Roz and getting Jones back in. Guys need to know they can't coast and stay in the lineup. Now is the time that we need guys to realize nobody is guaranteed time.

Good Roslovic sucks real bad

He has all the skills. Just doesn't put them together nearly enough.

 

[eco's bones]

Montreal has some legitimate toughness so I can see a really good reason for Matthew in the lineup today. We probably win with or without him but he needs to play at least some games and this is where he can be most useful.

I don't think Roslovic has been bad necessarily. I like his speed and he gets points here and there but I don't really look at him as a great top 6 option. It's kind of like when the Rangers were playing Fast up in our top 6 though Fast is a more responsible player and a hard forechecker than Roslovic is.

If Roslovic isn't in because we can use Rempe and the other guys were keys to our last game it just sucks for him for this one. I'm sure he'll be back.

Wrestlemania? Rangers? what do i do? @Machinehead help

I like sitting Ros if true. Several games he’s been kind of lackadaisical.

The thing with him that made him an attractive add was his speed and pace and opening up time and space for the bromance.

He hasn’t stood out as much lately compared to when he first arrived. He’s also made some weird decisions with the puck and has lost control several times.

We know he’s got a good shot but he is what is he offensively. He doesn’t need to be anything special on that line but he needs to consistently provide what they brought him in to do if that line is going to remain successful even strength

Sounds like Jones is in tonight. Gus may be scratched.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Montreal is like Columbus, one of those basement teams we always suck against.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Tickets aren’t horrendous for tonight so I may go to this one

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

No problem with ros being scratched.

Just wish the same standard was applied to the trusty vets.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Roslovic is ass and I’m not surprised he’s scratched.

If Rempe can get his shit together and can be trusted to not be kicked out of the game 5 mins into it, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Roslovic get scratched in the playoffs

 

[EdJovanovski]

HES BACK

Montreal, typical.

Tickets aren’t horrendous for tonight so I may go to this one

If I wasn’t traveling tomorrow, I’d have gone. Super cheap game for a weekend and a winning team.

So what are the lines tonight?

Oh, Roslovic sucks?

Night 2 looks pretty good. WM is once a year, whereas you can always watch the Rangers.

I didn't bother with night 1.

I hate that they made WM two nights just so one of the nights could be Smackdown.

If they wanted the show to be shorter, cut the filler.

Two defenseman on the power play again, neither of which are Jones. It’s like their strategy for the last 30-60 seconds of a f***ing power play is “hopefully we don’t get scored on!”

So stupid.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

So stupid.

Need a member from the “but he’s an NHL coach he knows better” crew to explain this one

 

[bobbop]

Roslovic has been thoroughly unimpressive. I could see a scenario where he is a regular healthy scratch in the playoffs.

The problem with him is he is consistently inconsistent and has always been that way. He can have periods where he is very noticeable in a good way and then disappears or go through periods where he looks lost and turns the puck over multiple times. When he was first traded here he was on a point scoring streak and looked good. Now, not so much. I guess that's why he went for a 2026 4th rounder.

Good move to sit Roslovic. He provides no intangibles. He’s 20% to win every 50/50 puck. If he’s not creating, he’s a liability.
