Post-Game Talk: Passionate Fruit

Igor's not having his best year obviously (and not one player on the team is tbf) but everyone saying he's not earning his contract when he is not playing under that contract has bugged me. Shesty has always played his best in crunch time, down the stretch and in the playoffs. im still a believer. What choice do I have otherwise? The guy aint going anywhere. Kinda feel the same about Meeka. Im hard on these guys because I want them to succeed and know they are capable of more than what they've shown us.

You think he'll all of a sudden become Hasek when the contract kicks in?

Yes. That's how it works.

It’s been difficult for me which is why I don’t post as much and just get the GDT’s going, and other mod duties needed.

I won’t put players before a team anymore but you still feel for these guys when they are struggling if you are a fan of theirs.

People wear their jerseys because they like the player and it’s not easy when things are not going well for them.

I hear that, bud.

No but I also dont think he's some middling goalie. He's top 5 (and not #5) easily and every rational person would agree. It just so happens he was the next one who had to get paid. I can't explain why Helly took less but he clearly took a major discount for Winnipeg. Igor didnt for us, it is what it is. Im happy we have a goalie I dont have to worry about instead of seeing what this team would look like with league average goaltending.

They are for bigger problems with this team than what Igor is going to be paid.
