Don't let my username indicate that I'm a Kreider fan (it's just a pun, I criticize him quite a lot) but assuming Kreider is going to have a disappointing season after 1 pre season game is laughable. If this is the way we judge players, give Lias the Hart trophy already

I didn't. I said I wanted Kreider to come out with fire. He looked like he didn't care at all last night. That was very disapoting.

Unfortunately this didn't stop Sather from signing him to a $5.7M AAV contract in 2015. Getting to play with Anton Strålman for a full season tricked many into thinking he was back to pre-concussion/eye injury Staal.



The eye injury came in 2013, it was an Eric Staal-induced concussion that occurred in 2011.

Yes, I know. I didn't mean that the eye thing coincided with OP's 2011 dividing line.

Staal is an artifact of yesterday's game. He can't deal with the pace of the modern game, one eye or not. The only thing he can do is play the puck out of danger when he's not fumbling with it. Forget about him making a pass up ice.

 

[member 116805]

yes he was fine. Seems like you have some beef with him. He had an assist. Most vets whose job is not on the line don't even care about pre-season games. I think he lost too much weight though, to be a good power forward he needs some more weight to his frame.

No beef with him at all. I m just waiting for that consistency and fire. Was hoping this would be the year where he comes out beasting from min 1

 

[will1066]

Maybe all this stuff about Kreider is justified, but he didn't have Zib with him last night either.

It wouldn't be justified if he had McDavid with him.

It's a f***ing pre season game.

 

[Fitzy]

If Staal really does get outplayed by a younger defenseman, I'd like to see the coach have the guts to scratch him despite his assistant captaincy.

If this new regime is supposed to be growing a new roster through a rebuild, we can't have declining veterans blocking youth development. I say that with all respect to Marc.

 

[Levitate]

Guys really just don't come out "beasting" from minute 1 of preseason games. I dunno man, that's basically how it is in all sports for the preseason. Vets don't want to go balls out like it's a game that means anything, they're just easing in, working on little things, developing some patterns and consistency with teammates. It doesn't really do them any good to come out and treat preseason like it matters. you see this all across the league, not just with Kreider.

Minute one is the regular season not the preseason just STOP.

Minute 1 hasn't happened yet. Preseason is utterly meaningless for a guy in Kreider's position.

 

[RangerLifer]

As the 3rd went on, less was called.

Maybe they were just warming up their whistles.

You have your opinion, I'll keep having mine thank you.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I didn't. I said I wanted Kreider to come out with fire. He looked like he didn't care at all last night. That was very disapoting.

It's PRE SEASON!

I DVR'd the game to watch it a second time, and I have to say that I didn't see any of what you're talking about. IMO DeAngelo was our best Dman last night, and at worst our 4th best player.

Good thing you don't scout for us. He sucked. Just more of the same. Low percentage pass after pass from that scrub.

You should change your username to reflect your most hated player on the team

 

[chosen]

If this team is going by the fast, relentless strategy that Quinn is preaching then he doesn't deserve a vote.

He should be setting the example as a vet on this team but no such luck.

Kreider really needs to step things up and lose the inconsistent tag already..

Waiting for Godot.

 

[will1066]

The classic overreaction to one preseason game that many had anticipated.

Never change, NYRHF.

 

[chosen]

Oh my god if this is going to be how this place is this season with the infighting and crazy hand wringing over dumb **** I think I’m done

This is how it will be and you will stay.

[LORDE]

Best to not get too high or low after game #1 of pre-season lol

I love this place

 

[will1066]

tradedeangeloandbuchnevichnow

You're only allowed one most hated player. Sorry.

 

[Levitate]

This is how it will be and you will stay.

I probably won't post much in GDT's actually but that's not really new either

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Yeah, avoid the subject? No
Guy has been a disappoinment so far.
Every year he'll break out... Nope..
Who knows this time, 6th time (?) is a charm. His 10 min storm against montreal made a lot of ppl forget how big of a disappointment he has been.
The Manimal. The beast. A player with superb physics, that just don't have the mental capacity most nights. So far, anyways. Fingers crossed

It's 1 pre-season game. Are you serious? He was a beast after coming back last year. Let's give it some time please.

 

[Krams]

Great stuff from Lias, Fast, and Buchnevich. Really liked what I saw from DeAngelo and Lindgren on the back end. Didn't think it was a strong showing from Pionk other than the OT goal... lot of poorly executed zone exits. Looking forward to watching Chytil next game

 

[UnSandvich]

Good thing you don't scout for us. He sucked. Just more of the same. Low percentage pass after pass from that scrub.

I have to say, I haven't been more proud to be disagreed with in years. Means I must be doing something right

 

[Levitate]

I think we also go through this every year...Kreider is only a disappointment to the people who think he has elite skills to go along with his physical abilities and therefor he should dominate all the time but doesn't because he's not smart enough or is lazy or something.

Kreider's production ultimately has been about in line with his skills. I'd like to see him go back to being a more nasty player like he was for a bit until AV coached that out of him but it probably won't happen overnight
