Man, I'm so glad these boards barely existed in 2000. What posters would have been saying about Adam Graves...thank god he got to retire as a (rightful) fan favorite and team legend despite playing his final couple seasons with a broken body.
Kreider was a very good player for a long time who was clutch, but he always had his warts.....nights off, shied away from physical play, the Bromance. He will be remembered as a very good Ranger but its time to end this for both parties.

Stats aside, these players are night and day different when it comes to willing to do whatever it takes to win. Graves never took a night off and never backed down from anyone. He could have pulled a Matt Rempe statline and he'd still be a fan favorite. Plus Graves was an integral part towards winning a Stanley Cup. You get a lot more slack when you are a winner.

Those players never quit on their coach, the team or their fans. This bunch, with only a few exceptions, are scum and dishonored the sweater.

Graves in 99-00 looked so much worse than Kreids looks right now. And Graves was one of my favorite players at the time. We were just a more patient fanbase and weren't so reactionary.

It goes both ways. 8 months ago, fans were calling for Kreids number to be retired...
