He can paint his nails and use lipstick for all I care, if he plays like this haha
He has been sterling on his last 4. And the puck lay had been great

I’m gonna be real f***ing pissed if Quinn goes to Geo next game. If he does, he is basically telling each goalie they have to win every single start or they sit the next one.

Feeling it
Looking for him to go on a run starting tonight.
What will it take for Quinn to stop the merry go round? Two straight shutouts?

My sister legit wants Georgiev to win the goalie battle since he's 'cuter'

Imo it’s pretty clear Igor is the starter. He’s started 2/3 of the games so far. Not publicly anointing him the starter makes no difference.
Prior to the last 2 games, Shesterkin has played 7 out of 10. Is that why his coach is an imbecile?

Lol Georgiev posted consecutive .939s against Boston stop acting like he’s garbage. Everyone wanted a 1st round pick for Georgiev what the hell happened to that?

He started the season like shit, other than the Islanders game. He's been better.

When the team is not scoring and your backup goalie is struggling but in the beginning is playing a ton of games it's a big deal.
Find the the visionary coach that has the magical ability to dictate who does and who does not start slowly. Or when their game can slow down during the season.
Many players have started slowly. So friggin' what?
Why play Georgiev so much then? To be fair Igor started off somewhat slowly too, but he's still the #1.
Georgiev played in both games against Boston. You knew that he was going to get in at least 1. Before that, Shesterkin started in 7 of 10. Shesterkin played last night. He is going to play on Thursday. Not really sure where I am seeing the "Georgiev plays so much" narrative.
For the season, Shesterkin has started 70% of the games. What have you wanted to see from a rookie goalie? Henke started 61% of the games when he was a rookie. How did he turn out?
Prepare yourself. Igor is more than likely not going to start both games this weekend.
Yeah, I didn't realize Igor started 7 of 10 games before, all I saw was that Georgiev started two in a row. Probably not that big of a deal outside of that. Early in the season it was closer to 50/50.

Early in the season, both goalies were allowing two taped together beach balls to get by them. The team need to find some one to stabilize and quickly. Fortunately, starting on 1/28 Igor did. And is now playing the way we thought he would.
Again, you can tell the confidence level is rising even more when he is shooting the puck out of the zone.

I have felt personally he needs to get in there and find his game, not keep going back to Georgie so often. I'm not denying both goalies weren't great early on, but I would have preferred he let him work through it.
