The fact they scratched Kreider and not Zibanejad or Lindgren is wild to me. It's gonna be sad to see to the trade headline after the Christmas break with Kreider
All u ranger fans were throwing hats on his lawn after hat trick in playoffs. 1 assist is worse then a 4th liner....shouldn't of digned goalie wasted money
They must be trading Chris Kreider after the Xmas break. They scratched him to protect the assets health just like Kakko. They put a bum in the lineup and not any upgrade.
Kreider has all the physical attributes to be a Mark Messier kind of talent, but he apparently decided he wasn't up for hard work or physical play, so this is what we have. I also think he and Mika are a big part of the "work slowdown" attitude the team has adopted.
Zibanejad has been absolutely awful. I understand his contract is hard to move but him being the #1 center on the team is the biggest issue that needs to be addressed right now. Kreider isn't producing but he is a good player and his contract is reasonable. I wonder if he is causing a disturbance in the room or something.
D.J. Mika should have been benched by the first of November. He was dreadful during the 12-4-1 start, which was an absolute aberration. They should have been 8-8-1, but Igor and Quick stole two games a piece. They should be 12-21-1 on Christmas Day.
Kreider does NOTHING at even strength. He doesn’t hit. He doesn’t win board battles. Nothing wrong with scratching him. But they need to scratch Mika as well.

They have no defense…….who’s fault is that? The GM and the coaches. They traded Trouba and Kakko and got back two third pair d-men, if that….3rd, 4th and 6th round draft picks and $6.6 million in cap space…….. they are worse than they were prior to trading Trouba. Drury has completely undermined the leadership of the team. Lavi said it was his decision to scratch Kreider…… bullshit…… and what was the result? 5-0 shutout against. Drury is a backstabbing scumbag who weaseled his way in after the Wilson incident that ended Davidson and Gorton as president and GM.
I am a die hard Rangers fan and I have this to say to Peter Laviolette and the players. …You are too good a team to keep losing like this. It’s more about your mindset and less about your skills. I am a cardiac surgeon and my two cents…. Get back to basics. Practice hard as a team the next three days while the world celebrates! Bond with one another and rise like a band of brothers. Adversity will make you tougher and set you up for greater success. Use this opportunity wisely. We love you guys. I am not bitter only sad . Make us proud of you.. One game at a time…. Think, live and breathe hockey .. LETS GO RANGERS ❤️!
Seems Dolan and NYR management have found a way to break the spirit of the one true Ranger… Like Ratelle and Park before him, I’ll hate seeing Kreids in a Boston jersey but will wish him the best. To treat this as a player issue is missing the bigger picture.
Stop trying to find individuals to blame. That is not the problem. The entire team has quit on management because GM is lost and trying to deflect the blame to save his job. The cost is turning a Presidents Trophy winner into a loser. Not what any of us want to see. Dumping Goodrow didn’t help. Dumping Trouba didn’t help. Dumping Kakko didn’t help. Dumping Kreider will not help: or Lindgren: or Zibanejad; or Miller: or Fox. When Drury finishes sending his “message” there will be no one left to hear it.
@ so dumping Goodrow and Trouba makes the Rangers a better team than when they finished first in the league last year ? I thought there were 23rd and falling fast.
@@petermills-c1h Ridding themselves of bad contracts was the bigger issue. I preferred to keep Goodrow, but at only half of his current salary. Waiving him was a no-brainer.
Both Kreider and Mika should be sat until they are moved. It's enough. Both are all world talents with no heart or passion. This is the 3rd GM and 5th head coach with this core. It's over. I'd rather have a team of 3rd & 4th liners willing to skate through a f*cking wall to get to the puck than all of this passionless play. Lots of blame to go around but start with those two.
The fact they scratched Kreider and not Zibanejad or Lindgren is wild to me. It's gonna be sad to see to the trade headline after the Christmas break with Kreider
Only way to get zibanejad out of NY is to move kreider first bc of his modified ntc

Whos gonna hold Drury accountable?
He’s Dolan’s puppet. You guys need a new owner.

his style of play comes with a drastic drop off after you turn 31.
Anyone else remember when Gerard Gallant said “you can’t win with those players”
Hated Gallant’s coaching but he was 1000% right.
@ oh me too! But he was so fucking spot on it’s insane.
Gallant never said that
He never said that about these players
Sure do, and Chris Dreary sided with the lazy players and put it all on Gallant. Dreary is a pretender and he needs to go.

100% correct. You don't sit Kreider before that deadbeat softie, Zibanejad -- the most dreadful player on the team, unless a trade is in the works.
should have benched him and Mika 5 games ago

ECF final last year to this.....what has changed since then ....Drury's treatment of the players...
Drury's first fuck up was how he shit all over Barclay Goodrow, whose skillset is what the Rangers need and Drury has yet to replace
@@arln1966 Easy now. Goodrow has three points and is a team worst -15 for San Jose.
Kreider does NOTHING at even strength. He doesn’t hit. He doesn’t win board battles. Nothing wrong with scratching him. But they need to scratch Mika as well.

If they trade Kreider they better get a damn haul. And fire Drury and lunch Zibanejad and Lafreniere to the moon
He's being traded so of course it is.
I'm not a Rags fan.
But if he was healthy scratched and they're NOT trading him?
They should fire the whole team and move the franchise to Anchorage
He might be traded after the freeze and they are playing it safe
It's about time someone on the top 6 forwards gets a healthy scratch; now, they need to scratch Fox, Miller, Zibenejad, Lafreniere
100% NOT WHEN BRETT BERARD IS PLAYING EVERY GAME NOW. INSANITY!!!!!!!!

That's a good, inspiring message - You should go talk to the team. Can you coach pro hockey too? Or you do the heart surgery stuff only?

Brett Berard over Chris Kreider??? Wtf are they actually doing????
Ya the kid actually hustles and gives 110% unlike Chris kreider and mika who are supposed to be our team leaders …
A desperate move by NYR. Won’t change anything.
Yeah they scratched Kreider and the team said we are a bunch of babies and got blown out 5 zip at home
Pretty stupid move considering they lost 5-0.
Unless if they are about to move him.
How childish.
This teams not turning it around this season. Or any time soon.
They didn't sign lafreniere fir 8 yrs they signed the goalie. The interview basically?said nothing. 84 Yearrs 1 cup...lol...
Laviolette needs to go
Do a Kakko pls 😂
Drop the ball effect 🇨🇦🇺🇸🔥😄
New York new York 🎵🇨🇦🇺🇸🔥
Looks like it worked !
LOLLLLLL RANGERS 🤡🤡🤡
He’s only good at scoring goals off of deflections

Dury is gonna gut this team too nothing just to temporarily save face.
Dumping Trouba and Goodrow was a must; dumping Kakko was not.

@ and what did they replace him with ? At 3.6 he was a bargain for the grit he brought, especially on a team that has none.
Biggest #1 bust in NHL history lafreniere biggest #2 bust in NHL history kakko. Of course only the rangers find a way to eff that up.
Nolan Patrick?
Short memory or just like to talk out of your arse?

Yes. He sucks.
The non compete level is a disgrace
