Chris Kreider may have shown Team USA enough to add Canada chapter to 4 Nations ‘privilege’
NY Post
BOSTON — Chris Kreider was flying down the left side as the trailer, Derek Stepan was flying down the right side with John Carlson carrying through the middle on a three-on-one with the Americans in overtime of the gold medal game against Canada in the 2010 World Junior Tournament in Saskatchewan.
“You mean when he looked me off?” Kreider asked Monday morning, 15 years later and 15 years after Carlson ripped home the golden goal to give Team USA its second World Junior title.
Kreider was 18 then. You can do the math. He is 33 now. He is the most senior member of USA’s 4 Nations team that will face Canada — again — in Thursday’s tournament dream final.
“Do these guys know I was on the ice or on that team? Maybe Brock [Nelson], he’s about my age,” No. 20 said hours before his tournament debut against Sweden. “They know I’m old.”

Wednesday will mark 140 days since the Knicks shook up their fan base and sent a lightning bolt through the league on the eve of training camp. All of that feels rather cute given the way the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis swap electrified the basketball world two weeks ago, and the continuing aftershocks still reverberating in Dallas, in L.A., and everywhere else in the NBA.
