Player Discussion Alexandar Georgiev

[Synergy27]

Imagine disrespecting one of the greatest Rangers of all time for this guy. Fireable offense in and of itself for Gorts. I would have more faith in Hank if he laced up and played next game than Geo at this point.

This guy needs to GTFO already. Please just waive him.

So happy they benched his ass tonight.

 

[Row I Goon]

Benching Georgi at that point sends a message. As did the post game “chat” to Mika. I’m glad we’ve got a boss who is playing to win.

Gérard gallant told Chris Drury tonight stick this guy up your ass.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Gérard gallant told Chris Drury tonight stick this guy up your ass.

Hopefully he also tells him this

 

[Whoot Whoot]

legit terrible goalie

 

[JohnC]

What would we save if we waived him and called up Kinkaid? Like $150K?

He looks like 2012-2013 MAF out there.

 

[Kovalev27]

Not only bad but the most unlikeable ranger I can remember in a long time. Can’t stand to look at him.

 

[DazeHereToAmaze91]

Is he even trying anymore? Christ he's awful...

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Gallant yanking Georgiev tonight was a clear message to Drury that he neeeds to do something. Gallant can’t trust this kid. They’ve given him tons of chances and he’s response by being the worst goalie in the league. And he complains about playing time and stuff when he’s not earning anything with his play.

 

[Irishguy42]

All my homies hate Geo

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Every time there’s a shot against him I have no confidence he’s going to make a save. I’d much rather have Kinkaid at this point.

It’s true. I’d have much more faith rolling the dice with kinkaid or Huska. Either 1 at this point

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Pretty crazy to think how Gorton and Drury botched the value on this guy

Always sell high folks

some cap room and our sanity.

 

[17futurecap]

Put him on waivers this afternoon, the coach rightfully has no use for him. The schedule is pretty favorable where you can probably let Igor start the next five games, and then have a backup for Chicago on 12/4.

 

[LOFIN]

Like I stated in the PGT, I've always liked Georgiev and really hope (and still believe) he can salvage his NHL career, but it's not happening here. The sooner we are divorced, the better for both parties. Drury needs to figure out the backup position, and fast. And I don't think Kinkaid or Huska are the answers.

 

[haohmaru]

And I don't think Kinkaid or Huska are the answers.

Possibly, but at this point how much worse can they be? Georgiev is dead last in the NHL in save % with a decent amount of minutes played. He should've been dealt two years ago.

I'm not sure that's fair. Georgiev's value was highest well before Shesterkin had established himself as a viable no. 1. Hindsight is 20/20, but that would have been a huge risk.

It’s wasn’t though

anyone with eyes could see Shestyorkin was legit. And Georgiev has always been nothing special, it was just a matter of time before the wheels fell off.

These executives get paid to have foresight and they botched this one

 

[Crease]

He's got the yips. Not sure he will recover. I'm ready for Kinkaid or Huska.

 

[Raspewtin]

the Sabres had 1.3 xGF at ALL SITUATIONS. Including their 3 powerplays. And Geo gave up 4 somehow.

This cannot continue. He's legitimately terrible. I can't understand why they're so obsessed with making it work.

 

[Graves94]

Agreed Geo needs to go, he's terrible and besides having lost confidence in himself, it's evident he's lost the confidence of his team and coach.
However, I don't think Huska or Kinkaid are long term solutions. Imagine if god forbid Shesty gets injured for a few weeks or longer...we need a quality, proven back up, that can handle the load when necessary

 

[Harbour Dog]

Swap him and Kinkaid around so that Georgiev can try to get back in form. Neither goalie is great, but there's no way the guys have any faith in Geo right now.

Also, after last night, I'm suddenly much more cognizant of Huska's hot start...

 

[Kovalev27]

Swapping Georgiev and Lundkvist with Kinkaid and Jones makes this team astronomically better overnight

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Last night just felt like it was the end for Georgiev in New York. The decision to put Igor in for the 3rd just screams that the coaching staff can no longer trust him. Hard to picture him starting another game for the club.
