Chris Kreider/JT Miller Discussion Thread (2/16: Kreider recalled to NHL)

[Leetch66]

Possibly others might also come down with the same influenza as it tends to run through teams and they want Kreider here in case a last minute case occurs and somebody can't play .

They all had the flu shot weeks ago. The term flu is so overrated when it comes to hockey teams. Anytime someone is sick, its 'the flu'

It could be a ton of different types of sickness. Let's hope its just a stomach thing at the worst, and he feels better tomorrow after resting today.

If Nash is out I will be upset as im going to my first game of the season.

Doesnt matter, the flu shot only is useful against some 70% of flu strains.

Possible concussion??? http://snyrangersblog.com/2012-13-p...g-to-do-with-why-rick-nash-isnt-feeling-well/

Nor is the stomach flu really a strain of influenza.

 

[bernmeister]

Funny. I was all set on complimenting you on writing a post without including a Stepan trade proposal or idea.

Speak on the merits, let your conscience be your guide.

Even so I wouldn't trust the flu shot as any reliable deterrent to actually getting the flu. Often times individuals wind up getting sick even after receiving a flu shot.

If indeed Nash has the "flu" why is it always our top guys who get sick? Why if somebody has to get sick cant it be Brian Boule or Stu Bickel?

Unlike the benches or the ice, the press box is usually bereft of germs.

talk about a stretch. i hate lucic, and i think he gets away with a lot of stuff because he can play hockey (seriously-- that run at miller?!) but i don't think that it has anything to do with this

 

[Steve Kournianos]

I'm not a fan of Torts' system anymore, but I think he isn't the one to blame. Hagelin sure didn't have a problem adjusting as a regular on the Rangers last year.

Hagelin and Stepan had bouts with ineffectiveness and inconsistency much longer than Kreider's four or five games. In all areas, not just scoring.

Idk, that was a high hit by a big man. Hopefully, it might not have injured Nash, but during the game most of us recognized it as a high hit.

i'm aware it was a high hit, but i really don't see it being the issue

Not really sure what this does or does not prove...

 

[Kershaw]

Both look really bad out there. They really need to send them down, because they're costing the team.

Kreider looks uninspired. He was looking at the bench for his next change as often as he was looking at the play on the ice.

Miller is making many mistakes.

 

[silverfish]

Fully expect Kreider to be in Hartford for the Whale game tomorrow.

Still don't think Miller is ready. As long as Powe is out, Mash should be in the lineup.

Would like to see Ferriero back when healthy. I also want to see Thomas get a shot. Couldn't hurt on the PP at this point

 

[Callagraves]

Miller is not NHL ready. He will be, and he will be good, but it's too soon.

 

[The Sweetness]

Kreider looks like he just wants to avoid mistakes. It's a shame he hasn't been able to use his skating to create anything. He seems like he wants to play a very cerebral sort of game like a chess match, which is far from his strength. There are times when he looks totally lost out there, even out routine plays like break-ins or forechecking, which should just be instinctual. He needs to stop thinking so much and just play hockey.

Miller has been pretty good and exceeded expectations.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

I think Kreider is still backchecking on the second Montreal goal as I type this. He was actually better last night, which isnt saying much. He went from brutal to bad.

The only time I've noticed Miller since the first Isles game is when hes making a turnover in the neutral zone.

Neither one of these guys are ready to produce consistently, but lack of bodies is putting them in this position. In an ideal world, they'd both be in the AHL.

Kreider should literally be the last person to blame on that goal. It wasn't his man. Blame Richie for the ****** ass pass into Staal's skates. Blame Staal for trying to Bobby Orr-superman a shot on net, taking himself out of the play. Blame Richie again for coasting back and not covering HIS man. Kreider was hardly at fault there.

That being said, someone needs to give this kid a Herb Brooks pep talk. He needs to play angry and inspired. Stop trying to play so cerebral.

 

[NYR Viper]

Neither are ready to play every game in the NHL. Stop forcing it and send them down so they can develop with big minutes.

The biggest mistake made on the second goal, was Callahan trying to pick off the first pass putting him well out of position and turing a 3 v 2 into a 3 v 1.

Brad Richards must be one tired man.
