Read: Chris Kreider Answers YOUR Questions

by Adam Rotter on June 30th, 2010 at 7:45 pm

Next up in the Ranger’ series of questions for prospects is 2009 first-rounder Chris Kreider.

Kreider, as a native of Boxford, Mass., understands the rivalry between his home town and where the Rangers play:

I think it would be harder for me to deal with it if I was going to be playing for the Yankees. My friends give me a hard time about it, but they really do want to see me do well. I don’t think the fans in Boston dislike the Rangers. Obviously, they love the Bruins, but they’re not going to give me a hard time about playing for the Rangers. If it was the Canadiens, then it might be a different situation. Actually, the hardest question I had to answer after the draft was whether or not I was going to be a Yankees fan now. I jokingly said yes. At the time, it got taken out of context, which was obviously not a big deal. But my friends were jabbing me in the ribs about it and asking me how I could do that.

Kreider also answered questions in May.

…Chris Kreider, man of the people.

    I agree wit Chris, I went up to Boston to see a game in full Ranger gear with some friends, and I had some big Bruins fans behind me, but by the second period we were jokin around and it was fun. Definitely no hate from the Bruins fans.
