Kreider-Zibanejad-Whoever has been a legit first line for awhile. Maybe not one of the best first lines but definitely a first line.
Zibanejad needs a playmaker
The line definitely needs another element.
Zibanejad is a shooter and Kreider is the meat and potatoes. They need the passer.
Hmm if only there was some resting b****-faced playmaker who had good chemistry with the two
After 10pp, had to just address the above and get back to the real world.
I am grateful for the comments, unlike a lot of the rest of the board, which has been leaving me out to dry.
As I elaborate below, this is not exactly what I called for.
But there is enough to see that this was a sound premise.
Not quite, but we are inching closer.
If nothing else tonight, I'm going to **** myself if the Rangers score a goal in which both Nieves and Kreider get points.
No risk of that for either of us.
Inexplicably, an assumption is Kreider is the 1LW, whoever plays that pivot is the 1C; Quinn has put him on 4th line, and is using Nieves at W, when HC is on record admitting he is a natural C.
Bern is now giving Quinn advice.
Not quite.
I said:
-- practice, familiarization first to establish chemistry prerequisite to synergy;
-- Kreider - Nieves and the correct 1RW.
In our current circumstances, that should be Zib, but they can try Chytil.
oh almost Boo & Kreider synergy.
close
I think he gave them like 3 shifts and min mins with Boo not where I advised, and without a scorer.
Coach said he prefers Andersson at C [not compared to Nieves, but as opposed to Lias on W]. That is killing this, along with keeping Nieves at 4th line.
However, a couple of times Boo did his poor man's Kreider impression busting down he sideline getting off a nice shot. But no finishers to bury it.
this ends when Krav is here next season
until then, one can hope.
