Player Discussion Chris Kreider

[Synergy27]

We know Kreids can jump out of pools and deflect pucks, but can he do this:?



If not, worst signing ever.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The thing about Kreider is that he got drafted where he got drafted for his speed and athleticism. This is just a skill he learned as a pro.

 

[Priorae]

We are better with Chris kreider than without. Pretty simple really.

 

[Blais to Win]

I remember in the dark ages and maybe even after that for some time Rangers fans would complain that they never had a great net front presence like Holmstrom. Well here he is.

This type of play can lead to a long successful career. Holmstrom hit his career best goal total when he was 34.

 

[Kane One]

I remember in the dark ages and maybe even after that for some time Rangers fans would complain that they never had a great net front presence like Holmstrom. Well here he is.

I remember Gaborik used to score a lot of deflection goals from in front of the net on the PP, then Torts decided he doesn’t want us to score on the PP and moved him.

So much of the Kreisler hate is just Family Guy mystery box reasoning.

“A 25-30 goal power forward is a 25-30 goal power forward, but a prospect could be anything! It could even be a 25-30 goal power forward! You know how much we’ve been wanting one of those.”

And you end up with two tickets to a comedy club while your peers get franchise players. “We took the draft pick … hop in.”

Goals from last night…





What’s he saying to Elvis? Thank you very much? Lol.

He told him that Elvis has left the building

Exactly!

Elvis was whacking at his ankles and it pissed Kreider off. After the puck went in he was ribbing Elvis.

 

[Baby Punisher]

There are legacy posters on this board that are so angry Kreider is producing.

 

[RGY]

I have bookmarked posts of the Kreider hate. I have the receipts.

Get ‘em!!

kreider’s issue isn’t that he’s incapable of playing like a power forward, it’s that he has these amazing stretches for a couple weeks then becomes completely invisible for a month. if he can keep this up, I’m all for it. but we’ve yet to see sustained high quality play like this for long periods of time. I don’t mind a bad game or two, but when a week of bad play becomes two weeks then a month, that’s his issue.

. The issue is that fans set unrealistic expectations for him since 2012 and unless he reaches their expectations they get upset. He has been a very important player for us fit almost a decade

 

[ThirdEye]

Exactly. To keep expecting him to turn into some kind of elite producer after 10 years of non-elite production is just asking to be disappointed. If he's contributing 25 goals and 50-60 points each season I'm happy.

 

[broadwayblue]

Is this the year he finally nets 30, or will he tease us yet again?

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

He's a very good hockey player who gets paid accordingly.

 

[NYR94]

Rangers goals by forwards:

Kreider - 7
All other forwards - 12

 

[New York RKY]

Kreider will score 29 goals before the Olympic break and then he won’t score again for the rest of the year.

Pretty sure part of it was "Yeah boy!" not sure of the rest.

 

[Captain Lindy]

He had over 20 last year in a 56 game season so he could have easily had 30.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

He's been fantastic
