Player Discussion Igor Shesterkin (Placed on IR)

[Captain Midnight]

I’d let my athletes back playing after 10-14 days from a non-displaced rib fracture. Range of motion and breathing is the most important thing. We would add additional padding and test it out. The biggest challenge is conditioning and breathing Bc of the discomfort.

Always appreciate your comments in the injury threads. Any thoughts on the Kreider front or not enough information?

Happy to help. I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I do and hopefully can give some sort of insight.

Walking boot is a good sign and especially if surgery is not needed. If that’s the case then 4 to 6 weeks is still the timeline.

Six weeks is usually the time frame but sometimes we can get some of our guys back earlier just because of the hockey boot giving some sort of stability. He certainly is going to have to wear something to cover that up in case he gets hit again in that same spot.

Shesty day-2-day

Holy shit if he’s ready to go Saturday the playoff push is back on track. Georgiev has to win this game tonight. Has to do it.

I have very little doubt in this team with Shesterkin in net he’s that big of a game changer for this club. As he was for Hartford as he’s been in the K. He’s just dominant.

how many of the final 15 games he can play is question but If I’m DQ he plays them all Until we’re officially in or pretty much out

Is it? We're still playing a crazy tough schedule. Shestyorkin isn't going 23-3 or something this season haha

25-1 seems more realistic

I think we win 2 out of 3 with him. It doesn't matter but goalies were the difference in the last 3.

Certainly not a guarantee with how difficult their schedule is to finish the season.

Goalie apologists will always say 'yea well, you don't score enough then you can't win', as if goalies preventing goals matters not. Like all goalies are interchangeable- 'would Igor really have made a difference??' f*** yea. He would have.

Yeah, getting Shestyorkin back, doesn't magically give us that easy schedule we enjoyed for over a month

[DaBadGuy7]

I would hold him out until the game against Dallas on Tuesday. Give Georgiev or even Lundqvist one last start vs the Devils.

In terms of rest, our remaining schedule isn’t that bad. For example, the Capitals are on the 2nd night of a B2B tonight, and the next game against the Devils will be the same.

5 games opponent on B2B
2 games Rangers on B2B

11-4 he’s gotta go 11-4 in 15 games. If anyone can do it right?

 

[nevesis]

Igor is a f***ing bull. Guy is ready to go. LFG.

Glad to have you on board the Igor hype train!

I swear ever time someone spells it that way, I read "Shoryuken" by accident:

 

[n8]

He went 24-4 last season in the KHL sooo.....

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Take your time Igor. Don't worry about this year, get healthy and win your Calder Throphy next season.

 

[ViD]

Is he a lock to start vs Devils ?

Definitely not a lock, their last statement was “say to day.”
