When the games matter most, the veteran forward has mattered most. We check in with Mark Messier, Ryan Callahan and others on Kreider's legacy.
"He looked like he was going 100 mph standing still on the ice. He looked like a Ferrari," Messier said."You don't realize how big he is until you get up next to him. He's so perfectly proportioned."
Those hats on the grass are indicative of Kreider's importance to Rangers fans and his status as a franchise icon."He is right up there with the best of them," said Ryan Callahan, who played eight seasons with the Rangers. "He's been so good to me. Like a big brother. I talk to him every day. He gives me books to read. We talk about bulls--- fantasy books that we're reading," Rempe said."For the last two months, I've just been reading all the books he's been giving me."
Kreider has his share of talents, starting with his speed."I think his speed is just tremendous," said Callahan, who would later face Kreider as an opponent with the."It's straight-line speed. It's not east-to-west speed or anything like that. The kind of speed when you're on the ice against him, it's almost intimidating the power he has coming at you."
True to form, Kreider's natural hat trick in Game 6 against Carolina totaled just 18 feet in distance for the three goals. But one of the biggest lessons Kreider has learned through his career is when to rise to the occasion, said his coach.
