I can’t believe Georgie is the starter today with a b2b coming up. With that said, Gallant pulled all the right strings far against popular demand last game. So f*** it. I’m putting all my eggs in the Gallant Easter basket
I think it’s the right call. If you can’t use georgiev against Buffalo and Detroit you’re in trouble me. Igor will play 2 big games Tuesday and Friday.

I really hate Gallant sometimes. Just throwing away games because God forbid Shesterkin plays a starter's load. He's going to keep playing him every other f***ing game so he'll go into the playoffs rusty and we'll lose home ice in the first round because Gallant isn't taking winning and losing seriously.

We almost lost to Buffalo earlier this year with Georgiev in net when we dominated them needed Shesterkin to bail them out.
Why? They have the playoffs locked up pretty much. Don’t want to burn out Shesty before the playoffs. This is a game that they should win with their back up. Buffalo is not good.
Gallant is playing Shesterkin and Georgiev like he has a 1 and 1a goalie, he does not.
I don’t know SBNYR? Maybe he leaves this decision to Benoit Allaire?
Buffalo has been hot lately. And Shesterkin is already playing a lighter season than just about every season Hank has had. Georgiev does not give this team the best chance to win and should be only used when we have to. Gallant is not respecting his opponent. Also Shesterkin needs to get in a rhythm. We've said that about Georgiev why not Shesterkin? He's playing every other f***ing game it's embarrassing.
Also, I don't care that we have the playoffs locked up. We need home ice against the Pens. Plus I don't like waiting for days for a game just to have the team handicapped.

Rangers will stomp Buffalo like the little brothers they are, doesn’t matter who’s in net
And Georgiev been pretty decent the last two weeks, some of you need to get a grip lmao

Gallant had been managing Igor’s workload for one of the best seasons a goalie had ever had. Let’s take a breath.

Listen I’d love to see Shesty too but I’m ok with Geo playing for the following reasons.
1.Geo plays better when he gets time in
2.Shesterkin hasn’t shown to be off when he rests- he was great after being injured and after the break so no harm.
3.Fresh Shesty for the playoffs when he plays every game is important if we want to make a run.
4.Geo’s last game was stellar, showing confidence in him is a good move especially after Geo requested a trade and we didn’t like the return and held onto him.
5.Playoffs are locked up already so ok to rest the big dog a bit more with his injury history.

This is a game where they are playing with house money, so it’s like F it, let’s just take a Risk.
Also, not trying to sound like a jerk, but tired of the negativity in this forum. This team is doing great, not perfect, and there are teams on the outside looking in that wish they had the Rangers problems.
For the 1st time this season, I honestly feel they can make a deep playoff run. Granted that is with a healthy and fresh Shesty leading the charge. I have no issues giving the back up a game to rest Shesty against a shitty team.

You should not be allowed to comment on goalies, it will improve your life expectancy
I can't take this house money talk. Are you seriously saying home ice in the first round is irrelevant? In that case we should have just played Georgiev against Pittsburgh. Hell let's just put in our AHL lineup against Pittsburgh, house money amirite?

Would prefer our backup G were more reliable but it is what it is. Can’t baby these guys. Gotta play the backup and the best bets are the weaker teams.
