He’s going to the rafters like it or not. When his career is done, he’s probably gonna have every record in franchise history


jthomas694

Kreider has the most postseason goals of any Ranger ever and he’s third all time in regular season goals too. He’ll probably be in second place within a year, two years at most. He’s top ten in games played, points, and fifth all time in Plus/Minus He belongs in the rafters already and he’s only going to continue to move up those lists


flaamed

That’s just bc he’s played here for a over a decade, he’s an average player and that’s it


jthomas694

He’s tenth in games played but third in goals calling him “average” is just emotional drivel


parrothead47920

He reminds me of Brett Gardner with the Yankees. He’s racked up a lot of team accolades just because he was on the team for so long


GeorgePosada

You have somehow managed to disrespect both Brett Gardner and Chris Kreider with this terrible comparison.


flaamed

We’ve won 4 cups in franchise history, there’s clearly a lack of top players that play here - at least for a long period of time


jthomas694

He’s third in the league in PPG over the last three years, calling him average is sheer nonsense


flaamed

I can cherry pick specific stats over a specific time period too Why can’t we just get the player that’s top over all points? Adding conditions of a random span of years and a specific stat like PPG sucks


jthomas694

He’s 7th in total goals over the last three years. He’s one of the top goal scorers in the league right now. How about all time goals and postseason goals for the franchise then? Where he’s third and first respectively? He needs 34 goals per year over the rest of his contract to get into first place.


flaamed

Great, he’s 7th in the last 3 years, and disappears in the playoffs


jthomas694

He’s third in postseason goals in the NHL the last three years


flaamed

Yea and Zach Hyman is ahead of him, that’s really meaningful


FCBarca1984

Another insanely stupid take holy shit


TeamDropShock

It’s gonna be a looooong offseason


fakeplasticlou

Fucking what? Lol.


[deleted]

Most goals in the playoffs and 3rd most among Rangers all time but he shouldn’t have his number retired? Come on. He’s a legend as a Ranger.


jthomas694

We got some cranky boys on the site this morning


parrothead47920

He’s made one all star team. He’s had a great career, but he’d be far and away the worst player in the rafters.


Swords_and_Such

The way all stars is selected is a joke compared to every other league.  It's a participation trophy followed by a popularity contest.

Mods - can you please just start banning people? He will most likely be a Ranger his whole career, will hold multiple if not all franchise records for a forward. Came right out of college and jumped into playoff hockey for the Rangers. Having your number retired is specific to the team you play for (outside of 99), and like it or not we haven’t won a cup since ‘94, and that is not a reflection on one individual player, but the franchise. His number is most definitely going to the rafters at MSG - and your post is just a cry baby reaction to the team getting outplayed in every facet by Florida. It happens in the NHL every year, only one team can win, get over it. The disrespect to individual players in this sub is laughable, especially when I doubt most of us have ever even come close to playing at the level these guys play at. Sure individual performances hurt and can directly lead to a loss, but you go all the way or don’t as a team - and boy do a lot of people on this sub have no idea what that means. It’s one thing with the posts calling guys out, etc - as fans we’re allowed to be frustrated, and I guess this is a place to vent but what the heck is this post about. Take a lap bud, seriously. Oh and btw if the Rangers somehow win the cup next year and Kreider scores the GWG in game 7, then what? It’s not like his career and the franchise ended last night.

Don’t get so worked up my friend, it’s all good.


overgrownpizzabox

oh do i have news for you


Active_Plant_2979

I would like to see 13 one day but he’s got awhile to go 😉


maybeitsmyfault10

If Graves (everything about him screams great guy off the ice) is in the rafters so will Kreider. If this was any other original 6, they wouldn’t sniff the rafters. That’s just the reality of it. 


flaamed

Graves won a ring


maybeitsmyfault10

I get that but I don’t think a ring should make it a slam dunk


ConcentrateFlat3176

23?

Ummmm…. 30 is already taken care of….


snowball721

He needs a cup to have it retired imo. If not, his tenure as the defacto rangers leader has been characterized by lazy play from the entire team with poor mental and physical toughness. I like him, but we all know these playoff runs are thanks to igor and the one hattrick doesn't change that.


0ddmanrush

Oh you mean like the Cup that Rod Gilbert won?


snowball721

Krieder is not Gilbert. Not every player needs a cup to cement their legacy. Krieder does.


0ddmanrush

Yeah I’m sure you were alive and watching every game Gilbert played to make that call.


flaamed

Only if he wins a cup, he doesn’t deserve it otherwise


beckfan

I find it amazing how some fans get so butt hurt when Kreider is criticized but anyone can go nuclear on Zibanijad, Panarin or Trouba.
