Tanner Glass confirmed that the plan is for him to be a healthy scratch tomorrow against the Canucks. (Larry Brooks)
Thank god AV isn't that lost on Glass and won't take Fast or Miller out to play him. Some other interesting stuff (Kreider on 4th line?): Chris Kreider is skating with Dominic Moore and Jesper Fast on the Rangers fourth line at practice today. (Leonard) JT Miller, who scored on Monday off a feed from Marty St. Louis, is skating with Derek Stepan and St. Louis. (Leonard) Matt Hunwick is skating as the extra defenseman today and will be a scratch tomorrow. (Leonard)
Kreider is a great, not good, playoff guy. He plays angry and with no fear in the playoffs. He plays like a pansy in the regular season. To be fair, the idiot refs constantly penalize him when he knocks the other teams women off their skates too hard. He needs to learn to play hard without drawing too much attention to himself from the refs. Then he will be the player we expect.
Right now Kreider looks like a 4th liner, hitting everything and can't really finish anything. Until he learns to handle the puck a little better and make a play that's where he's going to be probably. He's too tunnel visioned on the ice.
Kreider is a lazy biotch. In the playoffs, he gets a breakaway or 2 every freakin game. In the regular season, he gets nothing. Because he's lazy and he doesn't skate. Simple as that.
He is not lazy. You cant play every game like a maniac in the regular season. He just need to be a smarter player and drive to the net consistently to score some dirty goals. Being playing way too much on the perimeter lately.
He's lazy. No, you can't play every game like a playoff game. However, you can play half of the games like that. Kreider plays a game like that maybe once every 7 games. That's why he is a 30 point player in the regular season and was almost a PPG player in the playoffs.
Kreider on being put on the 4th line. "I don't need anybody to send me a message on how I'm supposed to play." Uhhhhh. Yes you do. If you didn't with your talent, you would have at least 8 goals and 20 points by now dummy.
so I guess there was more to it then the current coach and prior coach not liking him or what ever bullshit was stating when both coaches sent him to the minors....possible prima dona
