Gotta think some type of upper-body injury. Every time he goes in for a hit, he lets up RIGHT before contact. It's been quite noticeable that he's stopping himself.
That would be the only valid excuse and I hope that's the case.

I don't know. I've seen several gratuitous hits from Krieder in this series, where he makes the hit but allows the play to go back toward the Rangers zone. I'm wondering if he's thinking too hard, or if he's caught in "this is the playoffs, I gotta hit people all the time."
Whatever it is, the team needs more from him.
It does not appear that way to me, at least mainly because when players think they have over-extended themselves offensively and they need to get back on the back check, you usually a really hard effort. Just look at Nash when he backchecks or Zuccarello. They are going as hard as they can. Can you honestly say that of Kreider? Hmm, I can't. I realize he can skate very fast with less effort but I just don't see the same effort consistently.
chosen said:How would this explain his no longer being physical?
Those excuses are long gone. He's had plenty of playoff experience by now to know what it takes to succeed. It's on him now to find ways to be productive.
How is everyone's appetite during elimination games?
i can't watch this game, so now we have to win right?
I'm either way too positive or a fool, but I still can't see them losing this series.
Kreider scores twice tonight in a 3-1 W.

Watch the game, nerd
BY my count, that's Tasch, Harnett, and Larry that's harpooned Vigneault right in the pingu on his irrational loyalty to his veteran warriors. Three scathing headlines. Zipay is slacking but that's expected. Hopefully the message is heard by someone important in the organization.
