Guys, give the kid a break already. His grandfather just died and who knows how long he's been sick and its been weighing on kreids who seems like he's been here forever and is still just 23. Rumors have him and the grandfather very close and his lack of focus in lieu of what has happened makes a lot of sense now. The kid will be fine. Be patient.
2 goals in October and 2 goals in November. Considering he scored in game one of the season he has 3 goals in the first 21 games. There's nothing to give him a break about. He's not producing.
The defense looked better because #27 was back, what a difference. You are right though Chuck, Philly sucks right now. They didn't even take cheap shots when the game was out of hand. Not the Rangers problem, have to beat them when they're down. Time away from the team with his family might do CK some good, could have been under better circumstances.
First of all mel, I had no clue his grandfather was even sick. Second of all mel, I don't think anyone is ripping Kreider apart in here, just stating the fact that he has not produced, and we need him to in order to be a very good team. Is what it is. The numbers speak for themselves. Maybe it is because he has had his grandfather on his mind, certainly possible, but the numbers are the numbers. Hope he gets a few days away to clear his head and comes back strong against TB or Detroit.
I agree Mess the kid is off to a slow start but that said he is still 4th on the team in scoring. What I see is a kid thats had a lot of scoring opportunities because he's put himself into that position through his hard work and has been both unlucky hitting numerous posts and just doesn't have a finishers touch like st.louis and nash but I think that is coming. Chuck, unless you are a kreider family member didn't think you would know about grandpa kreider (LOL). All is good. Let the kid clear his head and come back strong in a couple of days. Was a pleasure watching the team play without glass. Hope they can do that a lot more.
