All good points.
I honestly feel like Zibby doesn't have the temperament to take on the C and not have it affect his game. He is in such a great place right now, I want them to just leave him be.
I am the first to admit that I did not like Kreids for the Captaincy for quite a while. He has completely made me a believer over the last 18 months. I get the impression that taking on that role will keep him engaged more than ever before. He seems to be a man of integrity and would not feel good about disappearing shift after shift.
I'm on board!! Let's set the press conference for Saturday!!!

haha you don't have to convince me. Wait what press conference is happening on Saturday? Did they announce something?

Kreider is the best guy in the locker room at dealing with the media and in this town, especially with Larry Brooks running around, that's the best reason to name him captain IMO

I thought Cole Caufield was a much better player than he actually is

watch he'll get a hat trick tonight

Larry Brooks really needs to go away. Dude is living the delusional "I could be the head coach and GM" life in his articles.

Schneider will knock Caufield into stands just by giving him a little tap

I felt the same about Perfetti.
Maybe its got something to do with their roles on these stacked teams. Both can shoot the hell out of the puck, though. That's for sure!

He hasn't been very noticeable, but on the other hand, people put way to much stock into these short tourneys.

I was laughing at myself last night.
I wanted the US to win to give the best match up for a great gold medal game tonight. But, I found myself cheering for the Finns to come back out of habit!
I really thought they were going to do it, too. Good on the US players for digging in and seeing it through!

I think it is telling though that Kreider took LAF under his wing and trained with him this offseason. Not sure if he took the initiative or the Rangers wanted him to do that. But still shows how even in the offseason he takes the leadership role seriously

Kreider wanted a young kid as a swim buddy.

With the Stache and fro Kreider is looking younger. Maybe he wants to fit in with the kids.

if you go on the Rangers twitter feed I think they have some clips of the early workout testing. Think he wasn't wearing a hat in that one.

Hey, I'm onboard with whatever they have to do to keep the league profitable and healthy through this scourge.
...short of making the jerseys like the European leagues. That's too far.

Wait for the family to go to sleep... It was so much harder when we had the dial up telephone modem making all that noise

And just hoping the 56k modem connects a high rate to be able to download one picture within 10 mins.

Truly a breakout candidate this season. I think he’s kind of flown under the radar considering the other prospects in the system which could benefit him. He has all the tools, just needs to get some confidence.
