Nothing better than beating those pricks being a ranger fan based in the toronto area

Yes, Hank was more emotional….and we certainly love Shesty….but if he can be as clutch a playoff goalie as Hank, you are spot on

i just think that calmness goes a lot further come playoff time. Hank was clutch at times but he had some series he should have won if he was on his game. Hank could be white hot but he could go cold too and then like I said he could just be too emotional.

Shesterkin doesn’t have a bad stretch of games really. Maybe one. But rarely a bad week. And again he has the ability in a game like this to completely turn it around. Hank could never do that.

I’m based in Vancouver and I feel the same way, even our media is a nonstop Toronto circlejerk. Can’t stand that team

Let me say this and some won’t like it. But a game like tonihjt is why Shesterkin imo will win a Cup eventually where Hank didn’t.

if Hank had a first period like Igor did tonihjt he’d never recover or he’d be pulled. He just such an emotional player. Igor just has ice in his veins. He just went into that second period cool as a cucumber and shut it down. Awful first period for him but he has the ability to stop the bleeding and reset in a big spot.

again I’m going to say something people aren’t going to like. If he can stay healthy he’ll go down as the better goalie of the two.

Hank didn't win a cup because his teams never had the elite talents needed. Shesterkin will definitely not have that problem. Panarin, Zibanejad and Fox alone are better than anyone Hank ever had in front of him save for year 1 Jagr so I definitely think it's more like he wins a Cup (god I hope so).

That being said, as good as it looks I think it's way too soon to predicting careers out. I think with his penchant for injuries and relatively late start in the NHL he could have more of a Tim Thomas like career. Insane peak but probably not the longevity. It's definitely not out of the question though, Igor is 100% the real deal

I love this win. We needed this win to get a lot of people to shut up about the Rangers being a flukey team.

17-3 vs. the East now, right? Come on down.

Man sounds like I missed a phenomenal game. Didn’t have access to TNT tonight.

How did Kakko and Laf look? How was Panarin?

 

[will1066]

TNT:

Maple Leafs at 24-10-3

Rangers at 26-10-4

 

[gump116]

Nemeth is bad. How he got a 3 yr deal is beyond me. The guy makes the worst play available about 70% of the time.

It’s very concerning that Nemeth plays over Miller with Trouba on the pk and at the end of games. Not sure if he’s more Staal or Holden, but he’s in that mold. Hopefully the coaching staff figures this out before he costs us a playoff game or series.

Panarin was good and....Panarin was good.

Kakko and Laf were invisible as usual.

Tonite was the Fox show and Reaves somehow scored 2 goals early to keep us in it when we were getting otherwise caved in.

 

[Row I Goon]

They’re complaining about it in their boards thread. Like congrats guys, ya’ll would have lost 6-4 instead of 6-3 lol

6-4 would have given Kreider the GWG and helped my Fantasy Pick'em score....jus' saying.....LOL

 

[bmoak]

Barron should be in over Gauthier

I don't know if Barron can play the right side.

Kakko & Laf did their usual disappearing act, but man they do it so well. Panarin had a rough 1st period, but got better as the night went along.

pretty sure Igor and Hank both came over around the same age no? 24? As I said if he can stay relatively healthy he’ll go down as the better goalie. His numbers actually vs Hank to start are mostly better

 

[duhmetreE]

I don't know if Barron can play the right side.

he would be at Center with Goodrow at wing

 

[Graves94]

We out hit the Leafs 32-11...fourth line especially, was solid!

 

[Kovalev27]

I hated kakko’s game tonight again he looks slower to me this year than he did last year somehow

 

[duhmetreE]

Shesty on breakaways is something else.

Kakko & Laf invisible, Panarin played a good hard effort game

Nemeth is so disappointing. I wasn't expecting anywhere near a top 4 dman but he has to be better. He was being carried by a 20 year old for good portions of this game. He's only 29 so don't wanna hear age as an excuse.

 

[TGWL]

Meanwhile when they reupdate the digital rule book, that video will be shown as the goal illustrating a "distinct kicking motion".

It'll be sold as an NFT rule

 

[duhmetreE]

he should never be allowed to carry the puck. He's molasses

 

[bleedblue94]

Keefe's post game comments exactly what we used to see with our own team just last year, it's really nice to see the change.
On a weird no I was actually kind of excited to see them go down early simply because I wanted to see how they would respond. Sometimes it's better to play a game like this and weather through the tough parts to come out victorious.

Expected a steadying influence. We're not getting that.

I'd rather see Jones-Schneider, personally. At least Jones can skate. Hell, I'd take Hajek-Schneider over Nemeth.
