Jan Levine: Rangers face Capitals in key contest at MSG, Kreider to be dealt? Trade deadline two days away

Even if they lose, I just want to see them compete and be able to hang with them. I won’t be mad about a 3-2 loss if it’s a good hard fought game. Disappointed, but not mad.

The team is so consistently inconsistent its crazy, not sure if it falls on the players or coach but you never know which team will play the game.

I wouldn’t trade Kreider but that’s just me. If anything revisit the conversation in the offseason or if the team is down in the dumps move him at the trade deadline next season.

what's crazy is that this team has a buzz going and to put him into the lineup disrupts it other than he's still likely the best penalty killer on the team

I've been one of his biggest fans forever, but it already has a feel as if the team has moved on from him

Jan, I share your hope for the end of Kreider's career.
I feel like trading him now would be foolish, because his value has to be the lowest it's ever been. Due to his struggles with injury through the season as well as his current status. Furthermore, I feel that moving him in the next calendar year would leave us with a deficit of veteran presence in the room. And while Kreids has not always been exactly the model you want for the youth, he is nearly sanctified in Rangers lore.

If they do move him it will be to an east coast team I think bc of the no trade.

Took him two years to build his CT house. Maybe Buffalo, Boston,

CT guy here. Cant really argue, some awful drivers. I think a lot of us are very on edge driving in or around the city. Need to mentally prepare myself to drive to JFK or LaGuardia.

Don’t forget the Mbumholes though!

Living in a place where we see plates from all over North America on a regular basis I will state that I have never been more annoyed with anyone from the US than drivers from Ohio. S-L-O-W-E-S-T f'n cars on the road!!! NY plates mean they won't get over from the left lane if you want to get by. CT are more rare, but seem to be constantly afraid. But, they all pale in comparison to the frustration of seeing plates from Quebec!! Hands down the worst. They drive like they are the only car on the road. Absolutely untrustworthy. And, I pass them and make distance between us at almost any cost!!

I'm in West NJ so I get to deal with PA drivers. They aren't as bad in PA, but as soon as they cross the river they forget how to drive.

Can confirm. Not so much me, but my passengers which is even worse.

Recently drove to FL and back, and outside of NY, Baltimore and DC were the most intense. Every man for themselves

Ok… since my nephew has once again flaked out on me, but I want to go to this game…

Who wants to catch tonights game with me?
