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.
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.

The Rangers reconvened after the Olympic stoppage wanting to find some successful combinations that had been largely absent through much of a disappointing last-place season.
SALT LAKE CITY — There was no sugarcoating an ugly first-half performance from the Knicks in the locker room, and the harsh words during the break helped spur a comeback in Wednesday’s 134-117 victory over the Jazz.
Team USA’s fate is out of its hands.
