ok....i'm not usually one to nitpick on spelling...but come on
I'd argue that it makes the word that much cooler. This should be a HFNY staple.
We should have it on our playoff avatars, if we make the playoffs

LOL...i'm not sure how we could do it...maybe spelling the players names super wrong?
either way, thats like an epic misspelling.

Kreider has been invisible anyway. This is not a bad thing, and will hopefully get MSL scoring!

Not a bad thing? That's something I only expected to read after a Boyle injury... And if Kreider has been invisible, MSL has been non existent.
Whether you love or hate Kreider hsi injury is a pretty big loss. Now they can still win like they did last night but his size and speed opens the ice for otehrs even when he isnt scoring. also to be fair St.Louis has been given plenty of oppurtunities to score and has even been given kreider's PP time. I agree Kreider isnt playing as well as he did in teh first hald but he is a rookie and was delaing with soem injuries as we know lately
I don't think it's so much as losing Kreider isn't a big deal, but the fact that we have someone like Miller who can step in. Miller has performed very well with the big club in his last few stints, arguably, better then Kreider has of late.
They both are prone to defensive lapses. Losing Kreider is a loss, but having Miller allows us to take it more so in stride. I also think he is physical way more consistently then Kreider and his vision is better. He's just a tad more "raw" at this stage.
Kreider was vital to our "survival" in the 1st half, but the 2nd half he has really been much of a no-show. We're lucky to have the depth we do, so it's really not as significant a loss as it could be.
Losing Nash, Stepan, Zucc, Brassard and pretty much any D-man outside of Diaz, would be a way bigger loss and more difficult to overcome.
Like i said the Rangers can certainly win without him like you said because we have depth BUT we could really use him in the playoffs. Also i like Miller but i think people need to dial it down on him a bit. I think the kid will be pretty good but he hanst exactly lit teh world on fire. He has been decent but last night i watched him closely and he was on and off IMO. Kreider has teh higher ceiling than Miller and is ahead on him right now
Poor Kreider, he had to stay behind when the team took off for Calgary. And a sore hand, at least it wasn't the right one..
Broken hand, and from what i ahve heard he is trying to get a secodn opinion so he could be back sooner which i like to see from players especially in a playoff push
Yeah I hope he doesn't need surgery, if not he should be ready for the playoffs.
And people shouldn't say he wont be missed. Kreider got injured in that great battle in Columbus. We won, so he deserves a few nice words

I'm not asking Miller to be a world beater at the moment, nor am I asking that of Kreider.
Neither has lit the world on fire and on and off would describe Kreider's entire season, specifically his second half.
They both will have lumps and both will likely be good, long term players, but let's not act like Kreider is some sort of stable veteran.
Miller is fine and in my opinion, has been better in his 2 most recent stints with the team, then Kreider has been. That's not to take anything away from Kreider, who has had a fine rookie season.
I am kind of surprised. The kid has had a better season than most of us envisioned after he didnt make the opening night roster. Some are getting on him for having a lesser second half than he did a first half but thats expected froma rookie. Also i still belive that if stepan didnt have a bad year than kreider most likely would have been even more productiveYeah I hope he doesn't need surgery, if not he should be ready for the playoffs.

#NYR Injury Update: Chris Kreider will be sidelined indefinitely following surgery on his hand today
But how major is the surgery? Was is it a small repair that will sideline him for only a month and we get him back for the 2nd round if we get that far? He played 3 games with an injury that required surgery.

I wouldn't hold out hopes for anything sooner than that, if we're to believe Bob McKenzie's timeline.
I seriously doubt it's that bad if he played 3 games with it. Best to sit out now and be full strength come the playoffs. I'll be surprised if he's not out there in round 1.

Round 1 is starting April 16. If you figure the first game will be played that weekend, that's just 3 weeks from now.
He might get in to game 6/7 but even that is pretty generous. He'll probably need a month on this.

Indefinitely means indefinitely.
Theyll wait until the swelling from the surgery subsides plus a few days and then im sure theyll update it with a timetable.
Sometimes going into surgery can shorten the recovery time, like Paul Martin.
Martin was sidelined on 2/28 so its been exactly 4 weeks to the day. He had surgery and resumed skating yesterday and is undergoing another X-ray this weekend. He was originally given a 4-6 week timeline and thats usually the case for breaks in the hand.
Every case is different though. I say 5 weeks for CK which puts him into the 2nd round. But thats from 3/25 when he was listed as out. If he played 3 games with it, then it happened in Ottawa a week earlier and 5 weeks would put him at Game 3-5 of the first round, assuming the Rangers start the playoffs on 4/16 (the day playoffs begin in the NHL).
So it really depends on the severity and when the break actually occurred.

This is a bad hockey team.
Anyone who doesn't think this is a big loss is fooling themselves. Kreider has played some of his best hockey in the postseason. The idea that Miller can step right in and replace him is even more ridiculous. I think Miller has a lot of potential but he has done nothing in the nhl so far.
