Scoring From Kreider Wanted
The Rangers have all these names: Chris Kreider, Kevin Hayes, Emerson Etem, Derek Stepan, J.T. Miller, and so on. Veterans were moved in order for these guys to step up and play a pivotal role.
What we are getting is wasted effort, effort that involves getting the puck in deep and sustaining offensive pressure. However, too many times, are we seeing missed shots or bone-headed drop passes, or just flinging the puck to an area on the ice where no one is there to receive leading to a turnover.
These frustrations fall squarely the shoulders of Kreider.
Did you know know before Kreider scored against the Washington Capitals, he had not recorded a goal in over 10+ games? Seriously? And, this was one guy Rangers fans were counting on to help bolster the lineup and become a force to reckon with.
Up till now, he’s doing the opposite. Let’s hope Kreider gets all he wants tomorrow and is satisfied.
Hopefully that happiness carries over to an increased performance on the ice, because that’s what fans want from him.
