The tank continues.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

There goes the Cup. Dammit.

 

[Jauffre]

Thanks again Lindgren

 

[DolansKazoo]

Embrace the tank everyone. Clean house after the season and get a good draft pick. Shore up the defense and start anew.

Game over!

 

[Crease]

Seems dubious.

 

[mrmovies779]

Smart not to call Garand up.Give him all the reps with the pack and keep him away from this tire fire

 

[94leetch]

Igor's not coming back until Lindgrens gone.

Not a good look for your 11.5M goalie to get shelled every game and pulled every other start. Has as much to do with sheltering the investment as any well timed injury.

Saw this and I completely agree with it 200%.



Besides the fact that fans ask for our goalies to make miracles saves when we are second to last in rush scoring chances against, and (surprise) dead last in odd man rushes against, our D looking like complete morons whenever the puck gets low, there's a shot on goal, or the offense moves from east to west, causes the worst defensive breakdown I've seen from a Rangers team. Here's to hoping Igor recovers and comes back stronger, because he's going to need it.

Isnt he injured?

Well management would be aware that team will be made worse and less competitive by the trades they are inevitably going to make since the season is already in the shitter and seemingly unrecoverable - so unless they plan on keeping Igor on the IR for the rest of the season, I'm not so sure they are trying to shelter him from the level of defensive play in front of him that will likely only worsen over time.

Lindgren is a double-agent.

 

[McRanger92]

Almost certainly a mental reset for Igor while hopefully quick stabilizes things.

 

[Raspewtin]

I can't stand him tbh

 

[jerseyjinx94]

I can't stand him tbh

Interesting time to post this lol

I have never hated a player more. A born f***ing loser. Absolute loser. Drury signing him to 11.5M makes the Daniel Jones contract look good. You cannot win in this league with mental midgets in goal.

 

[Hire Sather]

This will end up as the worst contract in franchise history.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Interesting time to post this lol

What's wrong with what he posted? The defense did everything to win this game and Shesterkin did everything to lose this game. f***ing cancer.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I think the good news is all that talk about how Igor will somehow prevent us from rebuilding and picking high is obviously untrue.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Igor is a great goalie, but the perils of paying top dollar for goaltending are nights like these. And his contract extension hasn’t even kicked in. Would have been nice to have the extra cap room to improve the skaters.

You make it sound that nights like this are the exception. Half of his nights are like this. And his great clean nights don't make up for it.
