GDT: Islanders @ Rangers | 7 pm | MSG

[MysticLeviathan]

its so weird having a legit superstar on our team. panarin is so good.

 

[Embryo]

This friggin guy...wow

 

[n8]

lazy clears bailed out

 

[LeetchisGod]

He’s 18. Be patient. When he’s 21 beast!

I have no doubt.

 

[CommaSynapse]

I’m willing to take the risk with Shestyorkin since we have tons of goalies in the system. Also, now Georgiev is a starter. Other games he looks like an average AHL goalie. I don’t like that.

Goalies are one of the most volatile assets. At one point Skapski and Halverson were legitimate prospects. That changed pretty quickly.

Behind Georgiev, we have Huska, Wall, and Lindbom if we lose Shesterkin. I'd prefer to keep the guy who's looked very much in the right place in his first two games.

Full disclaimer that I am a big fan of Shesty.

 

[turcotte8]

How many high priced free agents in the history of the league have been better than Panarin? There can't be many.

Can't think of one.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Panarin’s winnin the art ross. Book it

 

[n8]

Wow Igor for a 1st

Igor for Auston Matthews

Lmao. Are you seriously equating Skapski and Halverson with Shesty and Georgiev? Neither of those goalies were anywhere close to the two we have now.

 

[Hinterland]

I'd say it's preferable to not mess with the guy who may be your starter for the next decade.

The writing's on the wall. I expect something to be coming along shortly. A 3-goalie rotation has a short shelf life.

They've done him a solid by calling him up...if he still prefers to play in Russia until Lundqvist retires then that's his decision and there would be nothing wrong with it. It surely wouldn't hurt the Rangers...

Shesterkin is older than Georgiev and has proven exactly nothing. There's no way you can realistically expect him to be a starter in the NHL based on his track record. He's a good goalie...no doubt about that...but being a starter in the NHL is a different animal.

 

[TominNC]

Who said he was looking slow or something?

 

[Rempe73]

Fox with a bit too much poise there

 

[mas0764]

Yawn. Another game, another four point night. No big deal.

Also another game farther away from that last star we need in the draft unfortunately.

But Panarin, you are a smashing free agent success story.

IMO it’s our defense that looks like AHL Not him.

 

[Tob]

Skjei has been VERY trigger happy

We're only halfway through his first season, so the book hasn't been written. Tavares was pretty good though.

 

[ecemleafs]

watching panarin play is straight up pornography

 

[nevesis]

Kakko get your f***ing head out of your ass kid.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

wtf was that Kakko

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Kakko needs to do better than that bullshit.

 

[Hinterland]

and probably lose Shesterkin (you don't think he would bolt?)….its not so easy

Again...no problem there. Rangers keep his rights and they don't need him anyway until Lundqvist retires. Nobody loses anything if he prefers Russia to the AHL.

 

[motopanekeku]

Yeah why is the Garden so quiet

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

FFS Kakko.

 

[Rempe73]

Kakko, that was horrific. I’m sorry.
