(Almost) all big $$$ goalies suck

Shesterkin is low key a bottom 5 goalie in the NHL at best. I'd rather have Georgiev back in the net with his contract. The best part of the game was Shesterkin giving the puck away on a silver f***ing platter for the GWG. We just tied the game too. I legit have never despised an athlete more than Shesterkin. I'm a Giants fan and I never hated Daniel Jones as much as I do Shesterkin.

Swayman, Vasilevsky, Shesterkin, all shitting the bed this year and/or recent playoffs. Gibson is still an anchor and Grubauer is a nightmare. Bobrovsky is meh at best, and Sorokin is underwhelming, as is non-4 Nations Bennington. Markstrom es no bueno anymore and neither is Merzlikins. The list goes on. Don't spend money on goalies. Only exception is Hellebuyck.

“Don't spend money on goalies”

The Canes take that view but yet are criticized by many on this board.

There are 6 $8m+ goalies in the league if you include Shesterkin’s extension.

1 just went to back to back finals and won a cup.
2 are in Vézina contention.

Of the three that have arguably not been great, two have been fine playing on bad teams (Shesterkin has been more than fine, the Rangers are worthless defensively this year).

It’s basically just Swayman who’s been bad.

It's almost like defense impacts goaltending....
