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

[Thirty One]

Yes, you are confused. I concur. That may be the first time we've agreed.

If this person is me, then you have no clue. I appreciate defense when it is actually played well. The fact that Halp can skate and handle the puck makes him more effective than BB. In your blind affection for Mr. Boyle you have never considered that others see his play differently than you do (meaning we actually watch the games instead of ignoring the action and just reading esoteric stats after it).

And to be clear (although you'll ignore this statement), I appreciate what BB does defensively as long as he does it getting 4th line minutes because his other abilities are inabilities.

And what makes you say I have never considered others see things differently than I do? I understand the way you evaluate, I just think its flawed.

But, I'm pretty sure everyone's sides are splitting over the "you don't watch the games" line. Where did you come up with that?

 

[Kreider Typical]

Watched most of this game.

I thought Kreider was one of the few Rangers skating, along with Hagelin, and Gaborik (in the first period, when there was some hockey being played). People seem to ignore that Kreider and Gaborik were skating, though, because they didnt score.
Kreider needs physical confidence.

Slow game. Tough to judge anyone off of that performance, but to me, Kreider did not look lost or appear to be a liability for the team. I didn't notice Miller much. He likes to play with the puck between the red line and a couple feet inside his defensive zone, which terrifies me.

defensive end kreider did not look confident at all. he was looking to torts every time that the puck was in the defensive zone to see if he was going to be forced off or not
