How much of that is from game 1 where he stood on his head to a ridiculous degree?
Shesterkin costing us the series! He's getting outplayed by 3rd string Domingue!

Because Domingue has done really all that was expected of him and then some, while Shesterkin hasn’t.
This would be like the “we are louder” chants from the Washington series a while back.

I believe the number was +4something from the OT game, the second highest recorded in a playoff game since it became a metric.
Pretty sure I heard the nhl satelite radio guys say the rangers are an AHL team without Igor lol
I mean come on

They aren't the 2 seed with home ice without him..that's for sure.

Seems kind of weird down an expected goal analysis when there's a 3 OT game. He might have 4 expected goals against in those 3 OTs but in reality it's 1 expected goal because you can't score more than once in OT.
Maybe in these playoffs but they had a better winning percentage than Columbus with Georgiev in net. So that's utter bullshit.

I think if you put a little more thought into this, you'd realize how wrong it is.

Technically it's not expected goal equal to one, it's less than one because your expected goals are never 100%. The point is in regulation if you're comparing expected goals to actual goals, it's apples to apples. You can't give up more than one actual goal in OT.

This team is fighting with the Isles for the 8-spot in the conference without him in net.

Yeah, but Jagr should've won - he had almost 50 more points then his next closest line mates who weren't anywhere near the top at their positions. What an unbelievable year that was for him.
No one is bumping the Igor thread yet? I'll bite.
The guy was pulled twice, off his game, and helped lead us back from down 3-1. He wins a game in front of those garbage fans in game 6 overcoming his previous demons. Then in game 7 he keeps us alive all night long. The ONLY reason I think we have any prayer in round 2 is because we have this guy. There is no one in the playoffs i'd rather have in goal. We owe EVERYTHING we have been able to enjoy this season to 31.

3-0 in elimination games and made the most saves any ranger goalie has ever had to make in a 7 game series.
Thats with him getting pulled twice.

He came up big today, I know I got on him for not being as strong on the breakaway as he's been this season, overall he played great and the previous two games while his play was somewhat uneven he shut the door in the third.

And gets a very important assist during all of it.
Apart from the break away goal where he looked awkward he definetly shut the door when the team needed it the most. The 3rd period was a clinic.

Well said. I have nothing else to add other than I'm proud of the guy for bouncing back when the pressure was at its peak.
It's one thing to be consistently dominant. That's always great and we love that sure.
But it's another thing to struggle and continue to plug away to bounce back. The kid showed he has character when things aren't going well. And that's a great quality to have in a young player.
I really do think he's gotten over a "hump" during game 7. I also agree with the poster above who said he still isn't back to himself on breakaways yet - I hope he's working on those with Allaire.
