Player Discussion Igor Shesterkin (Placed on IR)

[Levitate]

I don't see any team trading for Igor before his contract kicks in.

for sure

and look, if you want the big money then when you get it you better perform. No one's crying for you now Igor. No one gives a shit that the team is playing like ass. You got paid, go out and play like it. Stop whining at the refs every time an opposing player gets near you.
You claimed you were the best and most important player on the team and now you get the criticism for not playing like it.

New York Rangers management really knows how to pick out the mental midgets. Or maybe they're particularly good at making players into them. Hope the upcoming kids all don't turn into second-guessing fearful mindful betamaxes.

Cuylle and Berard already look like Batman and Robin compared to the rest of the cowards. Solomon Grundy Edstrom finally started hitting again too.

Encouraging to see edstrom lay the body and stop acting like Herman Munster

it's sad when I see Sam Carrick producing more scoring chances than the entire top six

I can see the posts now from the Igor-stans. When we lose 3-7 instead of 3-5, they will post about how this is why we needed to overpay this bum.

 

[RangerBoy]

Igor should take time off. Paternity leave. Come back in September.

 

[CasusBelli]

Well …

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

Igor injured. Could this be the reason?

Igor injured. Could this be the reason?

Possibly. But we’ve seen Drury send messages before, however disastrously, so this could be a phantom injury and a prolonged scratch. I’m not saying that’s definitely the case; just that we’ve seen crazier things since the summer.

It's actually more of, "It's more the guys in front of our goalies than our actual goalies".

Quick comes in solid, but he's lost his last three starts too.

We need a new defensive coach because our players suck on D, but our system is even worse than the players.

But on another team

Surely the PA, and Shesty himself, would be kicking up a stink if there was any hint of Drury doing IR shenanigans?
This seems far more likely ro be a hoof beats = horses scenario

If I was the owner of this team, and the coach came to me and says he wants to scratch a veteran, marquee player that we just went to the bank for so we can start our near 40 year old backup at the tail end of one of the most difficult stretch of teams this season...

I'd f***ing make sure he'd never coach another game in the NHL again.

oh man, let the tanking continue

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

He’s been playing pretty poorly so whatever. Hopefully it’s not serious. 8 more years of average goaltending incoming!

 

[Row I Goon]

Gotta ask, what’s in the ink they’re using to sign the contracts?

Has some mystical kryptonite-like ability to kill their skills.

From the “No One Asked Me, But” files:

Why are Lewey DaMing’s stats so shitty?
Does he blow? Does the WolfPack D blow? Is this just AHL-level quality?

(and why didn’t they bring Garand up instead? Waivers Galaxy-braining?)

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Oh no, now we’re gonna start losing!

Garand day to day with injury right now

Shouldn't this news be worthy of it's own thread ?

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Totally ok with Igor taking the rest of this season off.

 

[Leonardo87]

Not really.
