Player Discussion Chris Kreider

[Crease]

Got three and almost got four. All time game.

 

[Leonardo87]

I said it on the main forum, brought tears to my eyes with that performance. Kreider has been my favorite Ranger since Callahan. He put the team on his back with that 3rd period peformance.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Went from Adam Graves to Mark f***ing Messier!

 

[Priorae]

He has way more weapons and upside than flaws. It’s been that way since he joined on a playoff run out of college a decade ago.

An amazing decision locking him down with that contract (bargain)

Should be impossible not to like CK.

 

[inranger94]

the kid is probably going to smash that stick into pieces once he gets home.

You mean unless youre Cory Price or a MTL fan? lol

 

[inranger94]

One of his best as a ranger.

 

[LORDE]

That's the kinda "legend" shit this team needed.

I'll never forget that 1st game against OTT

& now we won't forget this one either.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

One of?

What game has he had bigger than this one?

I bet Price respects CK.

We essentially saw kreider's signature game/period tonight. That's was a terrific display but what stood out even more than his play was his humility. Even on the post game when trocheck was asked what kreider said between period kreider tried to tell trocheck not to say it. Everyone that asked kreider a question about him got a response about the team. Just a wonderful night for one of the most underappreciated rangers in franchise history. Imagine complaining about paying that player 6.5m a year...

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Kreider was great tonight but that hustle on that shorty a few games ago was even better

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

never thought i’d see a mahomes esque takeover happen in a rangers playoff game

still cant believe it

 

[Rangerboy030]

If we win it all, they'll be running replays of those three goals on MSG Network for decades.

They'll be running replays of it regardless. That was a top 3 Rangers playoff showing of all time...hat trick in 1 period?hell.that might even be #1

 

[Row I Goon]

Morning, family.

May I present for your consideration….

 

[Atax]

the kid is probably going to smash that stick into pieces once he gets home.

Nah. He's just realizing, for the first time, he doesnt have to root for Carolina. New Rangers fan.

 

[Primary Assist]

As a Leaf fan it bothers me that the best American postseason goalscorer is not named Matthews, and no it's not even close

Happy for you guys though

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Years later find out the kid used the stick to play street hockey and when the blade wore down he just threw it in the garage to collect dust and spider webs.

He should get it signed by Kreider and then sell it back to the Rangers or Hockey Hall of Fame or USA Hockey Hall of Fame. Who ever pays the most.

 

[Daves a mess]

I fell asleep after the second.

We win?

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Only Patrick Kane and Joe Pavelski (both locks for the Hall of Fame) have more playoff goals by an American.

As far as the Rangers go, his record is probably going to last a while. Only current player or on-the-horizon player I can see catching that eventually is Lafreniere.

My brother had a game stick signed by a NY Islander. He was a fishsticks fan. I cut off the blade to use it for street hockey without asking him. I shouldn't have done that. Understandablely he wasn't happy.

I bought a Kreider jersey in April of 2012 cause I thought he might stick around, certainly could have guessed wrong on that though. When his contract was nearing its end I was adamant about keeping him and making him the captain. He got his deal, and what does he do? Basically surpasses all his previous years at a point when most forwards go into decline. It has been a marvel to watch him hit his peak in his 30's.

He is the true captain clutch.
