If you're going to start a thread on the main board, you should put something more than "16 points in 11 games."

no .

 

[JoVel]

I'm actually curious what his stats look like without games against the Flyers.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Hes been on fire for about 30 games actually.

 

[42]

Cool. I'm impressed.

 

[pown]

I thought like half of the rangers fans on this board wanted to trade him early this year tho?

 

[TGWL]

no .

Oh, ok. I guess 16 points in 11 games is a better "on fire" point than saying he's 2nd in points since March 1st, or talking about the first half vs the second half of the season.

Yes for someone like Eichel lmao...Mika is better than Eichel in every way..

I was too.

First 25 games:
3G 6A 9P

Last 25 games:
17G 20A 37P

11G 14A 25P in 23GP if you take out the (2) 6-point games against the Flyers

Zibanejad is not better than Eichel. Cmon. Eichel is a much, much more effective transition player and doesn't have Panarin on his team.

Zib is better defensively but I generally agree .

Zibanejad doesn't play with Panarin.

Zibanejad doesn't play with Panarin.

I know......he does on the PP though

18 in 8 vs Philadelphia
28 in 42 vs everyone else.

Yep, but it’s also like 25 in the last 23 games against everyone else. 3 points in his first 19 games against everyone else. We were told he had Covid and I guess based on his last two seasons and second half this year he deserves the benefit of the doubt for the first 25 games.

Not all of us. Now Kreider is the whipping boy, who is 2nd in the league in PP goals. Just the HF Rangers way, lol.

12 points against Washington/Boston/NYI/Pittsburgh

34 points against Buffalo/NJD/Philly

Meh, Kreider has always drawn criticism because of his disappearing acts. This year he’s been worse than most. He benefits more than anyone on the Rangers from that PP role. He’s good at it, but he gets more slam dunks from Panarin, Fox and Zib than you can count. A lot of them aren’t deflections or him overpowering defenders to get to the loose puck either. They’re literal alley oops 2 feet from an open net. Kreider turned it up down the stretch last year, heading into FA, got overpaid and has been less engaged than ever this year. Usually his production runs hot and cold but his effort is consistent. This year he doesn’t want to use his speed or size to do anything. He’s been a total passenger 90% of the season.

This is more helpful. A point per game outside of the outliers is still very impressive.

Yes, he's on fire and along with Fox has saved my fantasy season. Keep it going strong Rangers your teams been a joy to watch the 2nd half of the season.

 

[Mogo]

Ok? Huberdeau has 11 points in last 5. Who cares

Kreider's hot streak lasted a month this season instead of the usual 10 days. 18 points in 19 games, 12 in the other 31. He's a frustrating player
