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.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
