Prospect Info: Mikhail Yegorov - pick #49 2024 NHL Draft

[My3Sons]

BU goes right back to yegorov again

• pk little bit of a mess on the first goal. yegorov couldnt hold a shot and chased the puck all the way to the back boards to try to cover it (?) losing his stick in the process. able to get back in position but the puck was sent to the slot and, lets be real, an uncontested stick side shot is going in from there every time in this scenario lol
• faced three breakdowns aside from that first pk. two were solid, composed saves: vs a high danger shot he deflected away, and vs an in alone breakaway deke to the backhand. the other he let up. 2 on 1 far side shot from about the dot with tons of time/space to shoot. could probably argue he was a bit off his angle, but very much in the realm of cant blame the goalie
• otherwise not that much threatening from unh. made the saves he had to. steady, square to shooters, great reflexes, held his post when he had to, tracked pucks through traffic, undisturbed by attackers coming in tight, etc. held steady on a late 6 on 4 to keep the game secured
• glove sufficient but kinda wonky again. tracking pucks, not really getting beat, but reactions a little off/not always cleanly catching pucks either

got his first win. not as impressive as his debut, but so far all 3 goals hes let up constitute acceptable GAs imo. also another viewing where a goofy play led to an early goal against lol. still things to improve of course, but so far hes saving what he has to for BU (and got goal support this time). maybe the easiest game hes played since coming to NA lol at least until the 3rd

give him a chance to get some actual coaching. That glove will improve

Getting real run at BC this year would be huge for his development.

This is what the future looks like.

 

[Cheddabombs]

That's my #1 starter right here

 

[TheBeerNerd]

Seems like a perfect culture fit here.

[NJersey]

All we wanted is a stud Russian goalie prospect

 

[My3Sons]

If he makes it thr crowd will love him.

 

[Cheddabombs]

He's faster than Dougie

 

[Guadana]

He's faster than Dougie

Not a high bar.

If not for anything else, he should be a very entertaining goalie. I like energy.

I posted this on the first page of this thread right after we drafted him, he looks like he has a very charismatic personality:

posting early in case anyone wants to watch. looks like itll be a 3rd straight start for yegorov to open up the beanpot

• gave up another early goal off a scramble in front on the pk. D lost his man and opp F got the puck right outside the crease. yegorov had a nice idea on the poke attempt/good first pad save but 2nd F came in and slammed home the rebound. cant blame him here
• kept busy early on, BU wasnt at their best. not so much a ton of high danger stuff, just a lot of rubber. they completely took over by the end of the 1st, though, and he didnt see much more action until mid 3rd
• another viewing where i liked his puck tracking. saw tips through traffic, anticipated cross ice one timers well, never really seemed surprised by a shot attempt, etc. also thought he was getting better leather on glove saves
• butterfly on display as well, lotta saves down low. quick to get down, good ability to deflect pucks away with his pads, too, not as many second chances being left out front

3rd straight start, 3rd straight game allowing some random pp goal within the first 5min or so, and then completely locking in. kinda funny. in any case, yegorov continues to look good. makes the saves he needs to make (and then some) to give BU a chance to win every start. these early ones, which really arent on him anyway, do not get to him at all. gotta wonder if BU's found their new starter
