[The Crypto Guy]

Another shutout!! Stopped all 32 shots

Only has allowed 1 single goal in the last FIVE games. That is insane.

My God...

Rangers fans must be getting antsy for this guy to come over. About as obvious a successor to King Henrik as there can be.

Yes feeling good about it. But so far Hank has been vintage so not a huge rush to get Igor over here.

 

[Lays]

find me a better goalie prospect I’ll wait
.972 on the season and 1 goal allowed in the past 5 games

The prince might be the top prospect in all of hockey.

This guy is one of the best prospects on the planet and has been playing out of his mind. He is putting up shut outs left and right as if it’s nothing. 4 shutouts in his last 5 games.
This season:
7-0-0 (1st in khl)
0.71 GAA (1st in khl)
.972 SV% (1st in khl)
4 Shutouts (1st in khl)

In his 73 KHL games played dating back to 16-17:

61-6-3
1.59 GAA
.938 SV%
18 Shutouts

He seems like he could be the perfect replacement for Lundqvist. That's some pretty serendipitous timing for the New York Rangers.

So his team had 138 points in the KHL last year in 56 games (and 137 in 60 games year before). Yea, I have a hard time believing that he's not just a product of a loaded team playing in a trash league filled with corruption and shitty players.

Chalk me up as a non-believer.

EDIT: He wasn't even the best goalie on his own team last year. Looks like the Oilers picked up the real star goaltender on that team. Mikko Koskinen is going to make waves in the NHL playing backup to Cam f***ing Talbot.

I wish we could play more than one with the way we churn out goalies.

Lmao @ this entire post

Also, good thing we took a goalie with a second rounder. Smart drafting.

Look up Dan Blackburn.

is this poster that Russian guy who is super pro-Russian? I think he might have a bias towards Russians.

Look up Dan Blackburn.

"Let's burn a second rounder in case this guy who isn't on the team yet has a freak career-ending injury"

 

[GJB]

He's clearly on a loaded team though and has been for a few seasons. Hard to tell until he comes to NA.

 

[Jabs102501]

People have been talking about him all the time lmao

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Best player outside the NHL

 

[Kevs Security]

Look up Dan Blackburn.

Don't get it

 

[Machinehead]

Don't get it

We need more goalies because this one might get hurt and never play again.

I guess Pittsburgh should take some more centers because Crosby can choke on a chicken wing and die tomorrow.

Yeah that doesn't make sense. And at first I thought he was referring to Blackburn's draft position (which in hindsight was a bad pick) and calling Shestyorkin as bad. Confusing since Blackburn was a first rounder, had a freak injury and well, was a different player altogether.

 

[izzy]

rangers will again be a goalie led team

 

[LordNeverLose]

Why is this on the main NHL boards? Couldn't you have just posted this in his prospect thread?
