Have to wonder if this could result in contract termination. Can nyr get out of contract due to conduct breach?

Kreider apparently had a bruised hand during his post game interview, where he seemed very frustrated in general:

I'd argue that some people may be trashing him, but not because he's a conservative, but because he's a MAGA. MAGA is not conservative.

You would think this would be obvious to everybody at this point.

FlamesFanInEdmonton is being tongue in cheek, right?

Literally everyone: “Stay away from the racist, lockerroom toxic conspiracy theorist”
FlamesFanInEdmonton: “Just cause he’s conservative?”

Like there’s no way he isn’t trying to insult the cons with his response lol.

I personally think this drama is fitting for the Rangers. Tampering bunch of jerks deserve to pay out the full value of DeAngelo's contract and have a worse version of him replace him.

Feel like the NHLPA would fight that tooth and nail and win unless he has been recorded doing/saying something egregious because of the precedent it sets.
Being a dickhead doesn't qualify.

No one here is saying that "anyone who isn't left leaning is somehow a lesser person". NO ONE.
Go ahead and take the side of Tony Angelo on this one. See how that plays out. Or take the time to educate yourself on what this guy is about and what he's done in the past. He is an absolute piece of garbage.

You can’t make comments reference someone’s political leanings and not expect it’s going to ruffle someone’s feathers no matter what side of the fence you’re on. I suspect the posters who made these comments knew this however. It’s a pretty popular tactic these days. Say something controversial and then when someone bites suggest they are looking for a fight. I think it’s pretty obvious the suggestion was that if you have conservative views you’re somehow an idiot and a lesser person. I won’t argue any of that however as it’s pointless. Merely here to call people on their crap. I do enjoy the pile on however, another liberal strategy. Won’t serve its purpose of silencing me. This is a forum after all. I’d suggest some of you could do better. It would have been easy enough to point out this guy is a loser and a racist without bothering to throw in the rest. Then again, all conservatives are racist ��

With the background he has, that is a real bad look if true.

If he clears, they can park him on the taxi squad for the rest of the season.

He's likely played his last game as a Ranger either way.
