flamesgal1 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Tortorella, a smart man, keeps playing Higgins on the second line. Confusing. Could be worse he could have gotten Latendresse and played him on the first line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avsgirl621 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 guys who record the amount of shots he does do not have hands of stone. he doesen't really have a slap shoot and has had trouble hitting his spots i think it has been proven by top scientists that higgins has actual hands of stone.

Innis_Mor Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Some confirmation (to me) that Carbo, in the spring of 2008, should have been playing Grabovski on the top 2 lines when he came up from the AHL, instead of a couple of others.

teststory Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I don't think he is that bad. Many people overrated him and other young prospects on the team, but he is still capable of being a second line player from what I can see. At worst he can still be a good third/fourth line player. It seems a lot of players who go to the Rangers end up sucking for whatever reason. A rare few actually do well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habcore Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 kinda sad that the best player in the trade so for was Tom Pyatt. For sure. I still say no matter what that the NYR got the best of this trade, Getting ride of a huge contract like Gomez was truely and amazing move. It's really irrelevant how Higgins plays Sather accomplished what he wanted in freeing up cash for Gaborik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbGamer Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Kind of like out Theodore trade.. Just to get theo off of the books was AMAZING by BG.. even tho we received a HORRIBLE goalie in return, we got rid of his Horrible contract.. That being said, im sure NYR just wanted gomez's contract off of there books.. But gomez is still a very good player, just not worth that 7.3 million more along the lines of 4-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad decisions all game long. funny i didn't see that. the whole team outside of gaborik is a bit off. most fans are puzzled like we were.the amount of shots with little results. haven't talked to a real ranger fan yet whose dissapointed in his work they all think he plays hard, though begining to see that hes a 3rd line two way player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA_Champion Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Could be worse he could have gotten Latendresse and played him on the first line. Latendresse continues to be a vastly superior offensive player to Higgins. Latendresse has 6 goals in 13 games since the trade, he has 8 goals, 2 assists and is -1 36 games this season. Higgins has 4 goals, 6 assists ans is -9 in 36 games this year. Latendresse has better stats overall, and much better stats since the trade. You however are biased so you will deny this. Keep denying away, but there's a risk Higgins will be without an NHL job next fall, and be KHL-bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbGamer Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Na 0% he'll be khl bound... we'd resign him before that.. 1 million take it or go play in russia.. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e209 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Na 0% he'll be khl bound... we'd resign him before that.. 1 million take it or go play in russia.. LOL over a lazy latrendresse any day. the kid plays hard. its funny how montreal fans supposedly pride themselves on knowing players/ really knowing them. never do you hear about his lack of A SLAP SHOT. it self admitting in the canadiens magazine. say what you want he plays hard, is not lazy and can change the flow. snake bite he is, played his best with mike ryder and was never a goal man ryder was he was a product of the line along with the captin.as a second line if we had kept them they would be cranking it out.

codo27 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Higgins and Redden (not cause I really want him, just cause I heard hes on the trading block) to us for....Pax, Dags, O'Byrne, maybe a low draft pick? Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good to me. This could never happen. Forget the players involved. There's the salary cap, & we know that Redden is another Rangers' player who is way overpaid.

QbGamer Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I wouldnt mind to see Higgins back.. If he pulls a Bergeron next season looking for his 3+ million and no one comes knocking @ 1 million a season on the 3rd-4th line. He would be great, and he has a ton of fans here. I know this is very unlikely, as im sure many teams would be interested in him at around 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
