GDT: #50 - 2/1/20 | RANGERS @ red wings | 7:00 - MSG

[Kovalev27]

Kreider will not return official (Upper Body) sooo not his knee obviously

 

[n8]

That's a neck injury. Day to day until after the TDL.

His head snapped so hard, it's highly likely that he has a right neck strain. If that's all, we are blessed. bottom back right of the head is no bueno.

 

[Tob]

Fire Gorton. Asleep as the wheel again.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I mean, just post-lockout off the top of my head: Straka Olympics 06, Cherepanov, Callahan injury 2011, Staal eye injury, Zuccarello 2015...

The lottery last year was the first moment of legitimate good luck I remember in the whole of my 30 years of fandom.

Damn, how'd you forget McDonagh's stick getting lifted leading to Hank taking a slapper right to the carotid? That was one of the weirder freak accidents I've ever seen in hockey.

 

[Kovalev27]

Is this going to be like Mika’s 6 week minor neck thing as Quinn put it.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Great ugh

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Oh god please dont be hurt past the TDL

 

[will1066]

How bad is Crowda?

I’d reckon aside from Cherepanov, most NHL teams have had worse luck. And I even hesitate to categorize Cherepanov as “Rangers luck”. Seems to diminish the fact that a young man passed away. I agree the Rangers aren’t a lucky team like Pittsburgh or Colorado...but they’re not snakebit like the Knicks or Jets. Those are teams that can’t get out of their own way.
This Kreider injury is crazy timing though.

 

[Mandar]

Kreider will not return official (Upper Body) sooo not his knee obviously

but what if its his upper knee?

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I mean that’s a concussion we’ve all watched enough sports to know this.

2-7 games out probly

 

[nevesis]

Definitely a concussion for Kreider...damn. Hope it doesn't last long.

 

[Tawnos]

Damn, how'd you forget McDonagh's stick getting lifted leading to Hank taking a slapper right to the carotid? That was one of the weirder freak accidents I've ever seen in hockey.

I didn’t, but he was back for the playoffs, so I didn’t really count it.

 

[Tob]

Guess we're re-signing Kreider to a 7 year deal.

 

[egelband]

It's over. Upper body won't return. We're screwed. Nothing for Kreider. Blow it up.

I just hope he’s ok. I wouldn’t find it bad if they re-sign him.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

You have to be f***ing kidding me witg Kreider getting injured

sit him till hes traded

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Might have been Kreider’s last game for the team

Tough look

 

[kovazub94]

Boston is out if they learned their lesson with Nash

 

[RangersFan1994]

For those that havent seen it if you're listening online cause busy or driving.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Big difference Nash was injury prone. Kreider not so much. Didn't Nash not play one game cause he slept wrong when he first had his child?

 

[Mac n Gs]

I didn’t, but he was back for the playoffs, so I didn’t really count it.

Fair. I'm still amazed he was able to recover that quickly from that injury, especially since it initially looked like he just suffered a season-ending injury. Zucc's was obviously much more serious, but it didn't look as bad initially since he just slowly skated off the ice.

 

[Leonardo87]

Could give a shit about the trade value and whatnot. Just hope he is ok, has been playing great, went to the ASG, this just blows.

 

[Tob]

not sure why we're playing Kreider in tonight's game tbh. You haven't negotiated with his agent in a year. He's gone in 3 weeks. He's not a Pageau having a breakout year. He's proven and known commodity. Icky.

 

[RangersFan1994]

But isn’t that kind of the point? His game mainly revolves around his skating. And with age, your speed usually slows down. The saving grace is that Kreider is a freak athlete and works out like crazy. So maybe you might be right. We’ll just have to see. Players age differently.

I understand that. Who knows with Kreider but one of the best net front players in the league. Can't Graves teach our younger players how to do this and if they don't have the will then make them get that will to go to the net.

Neck concussion
