I think he got bullied by a goalie as a lad, that’s why he hates them so much

you would think we have a football schedule with the way people overreact to every tiny moment in an 82 game season
Arrty woulda helped the power play. At least he would have shot the puck and not passed it back and forth above the circles- arty got exactly 0:00 power play time. Why?
I gave him credit for his *checks notes* 3 good games in a row. He wanted 11.5M I will give him my wrath when he plays like Georgiev. The guy is shit on a stick except for a few short spurts where he feels like playing. We doubled these f***s in shots. And it's never the f***ing goalies' fault with you. f***ing ever.
They have to win two games for every loss (or better!) to make the playoffs from here on out baring everyone around then somehow spiraling even harder. It's tough!
What this game would have done is give them a bit of a buffer against a team they should beat, even if they got the 1 point. Not the end of the world, but the playoffs really should have been completely written off at the end of December. The race to the final wild card spot could very well disappoint people, but we need to remember they really should be a lottery team based on their play the first half of the year.

Heaven forbid we want our highest paid goalie in the world to not suck for months at a time.

Zib and Lindgren were both horrific. I can think of at least 5 clean examples of things each did (or didn't do) that were huge detriments to this specific game. It is exhausting to watch
Goalies are like officials they should never be the reason you lose the game. What gets me is when we win all the credit goes to him and when we lose all of the blame goes to everyone else.

Well, when teams have to be 14-15 games over NHL .500 just to MAKE the playoffs, a lost point or two is massive.

We were always signing 31, I wouldn't give a goalie anything near that money, but there was no scenario where he wasn't a Ranger going forward.
There is plenty to complain about all round, but we have just added another long term contract for absolutely no reason, after about ten days of relative decent play, who'll be lucky not to turn into Nemeth or Smith Mark III by next season.
That five-man unit blowing it pretty much sums up the difference between last year and this one.

See the resemblance. We got f***in Ozzy Osbourne playing center for us.
Ozzy is a legend dude! How dare you soil his name. Lol
I’ll bag on Shesty when he deserves it. For $11.5M per year for nearly a decade, it’s reasonable to expect that the goalie isn’t posting an .875% or lower in a full third of his games in a season. This was Igor’s 10th such game in 35.
That said, Lindgren, Zibanejad, and Kreider have been far more reliably responsible for the record so far this season. Those are the big 4 that are clearly hindering the team, and make up way too much of the cap space for that to be true and the team to go anywhere.
Edit: and in fairness, at least Zibanejad had some fleeting moments of doing something positive this year. The other two… Not so much. It’s not lost on me that Zib had his moments when Kreider was out.

All the best to ZiB on his unannounced leave of absence for the 2024-2025 season.
Saying that he will be Nemeth or Smith is literally based on nothing. Meanwhile Shesterkin is already Nemeth. No projection needed.
YES
speak the truth!
ditch this selfish bastard
let him sit and sit and sit and sit and sit
until he bends buckles and breaks
