Chris Kreider could get chance to play vs. Canada in 4 Nations final
NY Post
BOSTON — Chris Kreider has never been one to think or talk in hypotheticals.
Not even having one of the largest circuses of cameras and reporters huddled around his podium Tuesday, after he scored a goal in his 4 Nations Face-Off debut in Team USA’s loss to Sweden on Monday night, could get the longest-tenured Ranger to divulge what possibly playing in the championship game against Canada would mean to him.
“Like you said, I don’t like to talk in hypotheticals,” he quipped. “Focus on today and get after it tomorrow.”
Head coach Mike Sullivan had some seriously high praise for Kreider after his performance.
In addition to scoring a goal a mere 35 seconds into the game, the 33-year-old skated on the right wing of Team USA’s top line with Jack Eichel and Brady Tkachuk before the Senators captain got hurt.
He also slotted onto the top power-play unit.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
