Player Discussion Chris Kreider

[duhmetreE]

40 goals with Gallant.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

This man does it again - more goals than McDavid

 

[The S5]

This is the Kreider we always hoped for.

 

[Sockosensei]

How I missed this version of Kreider. He's even showing the speed again.

 

[Leonardo87]

Kreider has been the best forward on the team hands down. It’s been the Shesty, Foxy, Kreider show this season willing us to wins.

 

[NY Lito]

This is the Kreider we always hoped for.

Is this the year? Fingers crossed.

 

[Sockosensei]

More than the goals, I liked how quickly CK responded after Igor got hit. Now let's see that take root in the whole team.

Okay, I love the CK goals, too. Once again, he showed that he's mastered the angles on the redirection to get those shots consistently into dangerous locations.

 

[Row I Goon]

Right now there’s few better net-front forwards in the league.

 

[TriFF51]

Still waiting on that captaincy announcement. Let's go already. Veteran here, Stands up for teammates, last off the ice every night, and winning us games...also could motivate him to stay at this level.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Kreider has simply never looked this good. He's going to have a career year, and he deserves it. He's obviously worked extremely hard on his net front deflections and that's paying dividends for us; he has to have at least 7 or 8 deflection/tip in goals already on the year.

Bread is already heating up, if Mika can do the same? We're gonna have a good time with Igor in net.

This is the difference between now and the Hank years; right now we have elite offensive players and Igor. That combination of elite offensive threats plus an elite goalie is something we haven't had in a very long time

 

[FultonReed]

Right now there’s few better net-front forwards in the league.

I remember when Pavelski was like this. almost inevitable that he scored from 5 feet or less

 

[duhmetreE]

Inevitable slow down comes... Kreider haters crawl out of their holes 'i tOlD yOu sOoO!' 'sOooO iNcOnSisTenT'

It's obvious he wont keep up this pace... It's a 60+ goal pace.

 

[Richard Banger]

Love that his attitude has changed. He’s a lot meaner than when under Quinn or AV.

 

[eco's bones]

He’s been great so far. Hopefully he keeps it up.

 

[GAGLine]

I think playing him on the PK is helping him stay involved in the game. I remember Quinn trying Kreider there early last year, but then abandoned it for some reason.

 

[Leonardo87]

Tied for 3rd in the league for Goals...

Concur. Let Fox keep doing Fox things without worrying about the weight of the C. Perhaps the C also gives Kreider the motivation to not take weeks at a time off.

. Good Point. His defense has improved dramatically and last year he showed he can be effective on the PK but didn’t get much time. This year is a different story and he has shown to be effective Again on the PK

. You’re not wrong. The second he cools down fans will be complaining again. I wish our fans could just enjoy what he brings to the table instead of being upset that he never became a “superstar “

 

[NickyFotiu]

I always loved what he brings. Never agreed with people who wanted to dump him. He is the kind of guy every team in the league wants.

Where would Kreider rank as Rangers 1st round picks go all time??

 

[duhmetreE]

Where would Kreider rank as Rangers 1st round picks go all time??

arguably top5... but he will inevitably be bounced out with our current crop of kids to top10-15

 

[Bruner4329]

Where would Kreider rank as Rangers 1st round picks go all time??

Within the last 15 years very high. I wonder where all the Kreider haters we saw all summer on this Board are hibernating?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

You think at least 5 players from the current crop will have better careers? That's optimistic. So far I feel like only Miller is trending that way (possibly).

Eh, he deserved it last year and we lost Buchnevich in large part because of his contract.
