Forty-two players competed in the last Battle of the Hudson. Chris Kreider is the lone survivor.
All around him, there was deep disappointment and perhaps a measure of devastation in the visitors’ locker room.
Mere weeks after Chris Kreider had helped Boston College win a national championship, he was on the ice for the Rangers in the playoffs.“I don’t think I could appreciate the depth of emotion guys were feeling,” No. 20 told The Post in advance of the first playoff Battle of the Hudson since that one 11 years ago. “Suggesting that it was as emotional for me would be disrespectful to those guys who had gone through it all.
Kreider said he threw up between periods when he debuted on the first line against the Senators in the 2012 playoffs.“I didn’t play with them again,” said Kreider, who played 11:11 over 13 shifts in the Blueshirts’ 1-0 victory. “I was racing around and going as hard as I could on every shift.The Rangers line combinations were volatile. The more things change and all that.
Playing on lines with the likes of Brandon Prust and Mike Rupp gave Kreider an up-close view at the toughness needed to play in the NHL.The winger had played Game 4 with Brian Boyle and Brandon Prust, and then Game 5 with John Mitchell and Mike Rupp before joining forces with Derek Stepan and Ryan Callahan for Games 6 and 7.
“He came low and slow, and the pass was too far,” Kreider recalled. “Went right onto [Alex] Ovechkin’s stick and he just whipped it past Hank [Lundqvist] from about 50 feet.
