Disparaging playoff Hank is just nonsense. Between 2008 and 2017 he only had a negative goals saved above expected in the 2016 disaster. Has a case for the most clutch goalie of all time considering his elimination game stats.
Hank had terrible games every now and then, which literally every goalie has, but his overall consistency is probably unmatched and as previously mentioned he always elevated his game even further in the playoffs.
Now I will give Igor that while his regular seasons have been up and down he has delivered in the post seasons so far - which is what really counts in the end.

I've said this in previous thread. We need to play well enough to win by 4 goals to win by 1 goal with him in net. We're at a goalie disadvantage every bloody game he's in. He's utterly unplayable at this point.

Drury would be a fool not asking other teams what he can fetch for him.

His job isn't a guarantee if the Rangers bow out early in the playoffs. Definitely will be out the door if they somehow miss.
Lavy is staying put, so you're left with same cast of characters. Can't move a lot of them because of their NMC, so he's better off trying to gauge what he can for Igor, especially with all signs indicating his Vezina performance was a one-off.

Have you checked his stats?
You wouldn't trade him if you could get a king's ransom?
Tonight, his 5-hole was bad. Since last season, his glove side has been pedestrian, at best. And the last game against the Maple Leafs highlighted how bad he is with the glove; no, not the game: the announcers showed his stats when it came facing shots from each side of the net.
Not that this discussion is worth having but you have me intrigued in a sadistic way...what makes you say his 5 hole was bad tonight?

I’m conflicted because he made 2 awesome saves in the second but I wish he squared up earlier on the first one, no goalie is stopping that second one - thanks Lindgren, and the breakaway he looked defeated

I'm not worried about Igor at all.he's in a slump along with the team.He and the team will snap out of it once we get healthy players back and bench all the ahl players currently in the lineup.

Many will be eating crow
Even if goes on a run to end the season no crow will had. His stats would still be embarrassing for someone of his talent by the end of the season.

WTF happened to this guy? He was dominant at every level, KHL, AHL then NHL. Did he have a weakness that the league just figured out and is exploiting? Totally different player.

The team is giving up high danger chances, but Igor is stopping a much lower percentage of them than the average goalie.

Wildly inconsistent, even within the games. He can make a highlight reel save, and then give up an awful goal. He can go on a stretch where he’s nearly unbeatable, or he’s a sieve.
