Georgiev should be able to handle Arizona. You don't play Georgiev because Shesty would lose regardless. That's not having any faith in your team. Granted the team has been abysmal, I don't care what the score will be this is the worst game of the season. It's like they didn't know the Canes were a strong forechecking team.
It’s the regular season. Your goal is to accumulate as many points as possible to have the best seeding possible. Looks like the right move to me. Especially since he struggled for Arizona the first time around. I know it sucks to lose to redneck hockey (imagine living down here), but the goal is to bank points. We are going 1-1 and getting 2 points out for he Toronto/carolina series. I’m good with it.
 
We have no idea what would have happened if Shesterkin started. The team might be playing drastically differently. You don't just copy and paste the goalie and get the same performance.
All due respect, that's f***ing bullshit. I refuse to believe this would be mentally that soft. Carolina won with a f***ing Zamboni driver in net. If they knew they'd have a harder time with Georgie, they should double their efforts defensively. That's how it goes.

Zero leadership in this team at times.

Yes but Shesterkin would give them a chance. Gallant just threw a game away. f***ing gutless piece of shit.

No....the players being a step behind Carolina are throwing it away. This game isn't close, we had a pp shift where we were the better team and the one shift Hunt and Strome controlled the puck....other than that we havent won any shifts.

They have two good goalies, i dont think this has anything to do with it.

Georgiev is a fine backup. Shesterkin is the best goalie in the entire world. To describe them as if they're in the same tier as if there's no difference is insane.

Again, it's very possible the performance from the team is significantly different just by having Shesterkin in net. We will never know this because Gallant is a f***wad.
 
This is ridiculous. Georgiev has been playing extremely well and Arizona is garbage. Tomorrow should be a win regardless of the goalie. Shesterkin should have been playing tonight.
It's for the best.

Did you really wanna play like this, beat Carolina because Shesterkin is John Cena, and then hear about how this team has something special brewing for the next 24 hours as Arizona outshoots us 32-19?

no u play for the points gallant wants to make sure we get the win against the easier opponent on althe second of a back to back whwre u have to travel.

team will probably be tired and play like crap tomorrow. Shesty gives a much better chance at the points than Georgiev. Tonight wouldnt matter as much.

as a fan it sucks, but truthfullly its smart to try to bank as many points as possible.
 
Sure, but Gallant wants to see McKegg hockey. If the kids are soft defensively they will get benched. If they play defense it's wHeRe's tHe OfFeNse? The root problem is the wonky 5v5 system, even the big boi's, the core of the team, create nothing 5v5 but they feast on the PP and against weak teams that give them space.

Not saying you're wrong, but has there been any real evidence of the bolded this season?
I'm pretty sure Chytil sat a few for being lackluster overall, but I can't recall anyone really getting benched due to defensive efforts as opposed to overall effort

Exactly. Maybe you get out of the first tied. Maybe his mere presence changes some of Carolina’s shots or Shesty’s puck movement disrupts them. Shesterkin elevates this team at all times. Maybe it would be the same, maybe not but there’s definitely a mental aspect to having your starter in net, especially when you fall behind.
 
Dikembe Montembault is the most Montreal Canadiens name ever.

It’s not ridiculous. This isn’t the playoffs. It’s just 1 of 82 games. I’d rather potentially end up with 4 of 6 points than 2 of 6.

Georgiev didn't play against Arizona last game, it was Kincaid.

No, that is your clear bias speaking. I get you're a big fan Prince Igor, but really?

The Hurricanes are a better team. Period. End of story. They are outclassing them. Shesterkin has nothing to do with the fact that the Hurricanes are probably the best forechecking team in the NHL.

Shesterkin doesn't change much. Even if he stopped a couple of high danger chances that Georgiev missed, this is a loss.

Listen, I was and still am a Lundqvist fan boy. I don't think if you put in 13-14 post season Lundqvist, or 11-12 Lundqvist, that the Rangers are winning this game. They would still lose unless he had one of the best performances of his career.

Yes. Because Shesterkin is a part of the team and acting like the team sucks because they couldn't win without Shesterkin is the most pathetic argument on this board. Remove the best player from almost any team and they will be much worse than how they are with him.

no you don’t and with a team that forechecks like Carolina having a goalie that is elite in playing the puck makes a huge difference. He is our best player and should be playing in this game.

gallant looks like an arrogant ass tonight. The hunt move as well. Assinine when Chytil has played well. Same nonsense he pulled on Kakko when he was rolling. He’s lost now.

but that's what I'm saying... no one is good 5v5.

You can't put the onus on the kids when no one is good 5v5. The entire team is an embarrassment 5v5. We could switch teams and it'd be the same outcome.

The inconvenient truth, it's a coaching issue..... still.
Also can't put the onus on the easy ones to pick on like Hunt and McKegg. That's myopia. The top guys didn't show up.

Gallant hockey was much different in Vegas. It might just be the personnel on this roster.
The game evolved since he was in Vegas. Maybe it's passed him by and/or he needs to adjust. He's not a big X's and O's guy and that shows.

Thats ridiculous. The effort should be the same no matter what. The other team is 2 years ahead of us in their rebuild and it shows.
