Post-Game Talk: Official: Hurricane Sebastian Downgraded to a Tropical Storm

[JimmyG89]

They had us in the first half, not going to lie.

Then it was the Christopher James Kreider show. Can't believe it.

Love you all! Let's get some rest and be ready for another game 1!

[tlk]

Spoiler: this one is even better

 

[Atax]

Can we hire this guy after Sam retires?

I watched the series mostly through SN. Thought he did a great job.

 

[Luger]

What the f*** just happened

Let me explain: Kreider is a lazy bum who decided he wants to relax instead of playing Game 7. What the hell do they pay this bum for if he's gonna refuse to play?

 

[bouds]

Truthfully, i’m giving Goodrow the number one star for the sole reason he kept my heart from probably having a heart attack when it could relax for a bit making it 5-3. Stress level was going through the roof those few minutes…

LOL, especially since Carolina had a knack for scoring late, dude put my heart at ease.

 

[Machinehead]

I pick on him, but hell of a grit play by Roslovic to set up the second goal.

This team played a great series and beat a phenomenal hockey team.

Laviolette has done a great job.

Has it been said? 2 ECF's in 3 years!!

The sportsnet feed of the Kreider hat trick goals is great.

Poor Kid at 2:45, sorry man, it never gets better. Quit sports now while you still can.

This guy is awesome! Why does he get so much hate?

@Machinehead

You have been on the Kreider train for years. Major credit to you. You also knew this was coming tonight.

He's literally one of the clutchest players in NHL history. That's no hyperbole. All-time leader (tied) in goals in elimination games.

Add three more in the biggest possible game without being one.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

That he is @SnowblindNYR is , the ultimate pessimist always waiting for the other shoe to drop.I mentioned it before in another thread that the Devils series broke him . I think I had to talk him off the ledge once over a pre season game LMFAO ....But he is a good dude

Thank you, I appreciate it. That's why I hate when people think I'm trolling, isn't it possible I'm just that miserable? LOL

 

[Gardner McKay]

The sportsnet feed of the Kreider hat trick goals is great.

Sportsnet called out something important on that 3-2 goal. Roslovic took the body to make the play. We may get on him but the dude is willing to sacrifice to make a play.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Poor Kid at 2:45, sorry man, it never gets better. Quit sports now while you still can.

Always makes me uncomfortable to see that stuff.

Not gonna lie though, after the Devils blew g7 to the Canes in 2009 they showed a Devils fan (who must have been no older than 15 at the time) crying. I laughed my ass off because 1. He was old enough and 2. Devils fan, so f*** him.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

He's the worst. I've been saying it for years. A total hack.

he's a hall of famer to you, bub

 

[romba]

We fall over ourselves to build up homegrown guys, but once they turn 30 most want them traded to make room for the next home growner. After his contract lots of complaints, talks about his readability, then many made excuses after his 50 goal season too (still need more consistency!). CK has performed amazingly throughout the years, if he were consistently as good as his best games he’d be a generational talent which he is not. Instead he’s a leader and excellent player who brings it when it matters most and any team would take him to be on their top PP and in their top 6. I remember being psyched for him when he was in college which makes it feel all the more special.

Our PP finally realized the perimeter guys were being covered tight, even swinging it around the boards was failing, and they started to find a way to get it to CK. On our abridged PP earlier in the game we got the puck downlow to Kreider and it looked like a 2 on 1 downlow with Mika, but the puck ended up being deflected off his stick into Anderson. We absolutely need our PP to be clicking to keep winning and today was a step in the right direction.

I dedicate this song to you.

 

[MillerTime79]

This performance just solidified Kreider’s number getting lifted to the rafters when all is said and done. Was probably happening anyway, but now it’s a done deal.

I think the hype train got out of control and people never got over it.

They saw this 6'3" horse with speed and thought it was Lindros.

Truthfully, he has limitations. He's not the most skilled player in the world.

He has exceeded realistic expectations. To go along with his athleticism, he has a remarkable hockey IQ and the biggest heart in the world.

He's had a better career than countless players who could shoot, pass, and handle the puck better.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I was up in the air about even watching tonight. I'm not doing so hot mentally (just found out I may not have a job in a couple of months), but I'm glad I did. I'm still stressed af but the 3rd period improved my mood considerably.

 

[kovazub94]

This is for the all f***ing believers! So much more difficult to take this stand rather than being a hater!!! Takes guts, just as the Rangers being down two goals going into the third! For those who believe their team was coming back!

 

[mrmovies779]

I'm in a good mood and feeling frisky,old lady gonna get some......and we done!!! LFGR

My man, I am loving Chris the King as much as you are...but I was talking about the announcer! lol

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, did the announcers have money on Carolina? I've never heard announcers try to discredit a team as much as they have on those goals.

 

[Kovalev27]

I don’t know what to say.

I said during the thread felt like if we tied it Igor could turn it around and gain confidence and man did he. How he went from not making a save to just absolutely locking it down was unreal

And Kreider. Never say a word about him again. This is legendary stuff. This was incredible. You’ll tell your kids about this game. He almost had a coast to coast goal too

The point stands!
