Chris Kreider doesn’t want to talk about his stunning Rangers scratch — but he’s ready to move on
NY Post
Chris Kreider said he was ready to “take the lessons” from his healthy scratch last Monday’s game against the Devils and move on now that the Rangers and the rest of the NHL have returned from the holiday break.
What exactly were those lessons?
Kreider didn’t particularly care to reveal them when he spoke with reporters after the Blueshirts practiced in Greenburgh.
“I don’t see a ton of use in talking about the experience,” Kreider said. “Take the lessons, improve, be better and be the best version of myself so I can help the team.”
Kreider spent Friday’s practice skating on the wing of Mika Zibanejad and Reilly Smith and head coach Peter Laviolette described it as a “good practice” for the longest-tenured Ranger on the current roster.
The decision to scratch Kreider came as a shock to observers of the Rangers, who looked to go into the holiday break with a win.
Allen Lazard has no idea whether he’ll be back with the Jets next season.
The Knicks hardly have been playing with their food throughout the holiday season, and they certainly do not need to apologize for fattening up against a softer portion of their schedule versus some of the NBA’s lesser weights.
Malik Nabers smiled as he talked about fellow rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The Detroit Red Wings fired coach Derek Lalonde on Thursday and named Todd McLellan as his replacement, a major change by general manager Steve Yzerman more than a third of the way through another disappointing season in the place known as “Hockeytown.”
Both the Yankees and Mets were given meetings with superstar Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki but both surely understand they’re not the favorites here.
MILWAUKEE — Maybe the Nets got a new offense for the holidays.
MILWAUKEE — Brooklyn fans had expected Kevin Durant to lead their team to its first ever NBA title.
All season long many have wondered if Mike McCarthy’s time with the Cowboys (7-8) will be over after the season, with the injury-riddled team underperforming and the head coach in the final year of his contract.
Dallas Mavericks star guard Luka Dončić could be out “for an extended period of time,” ESPN reports.
Mike Tomlin is not happy.
While there already has been plenty of discussion about who the Jets should hire as their next head coach, it’s about to ramp up even more once the final two games of the 2024 season are complete.
