What do you guys predict will end up happening with Shestyorkin/Georgiev situation?

 

[Machinehead]

Who cares about the team? They have Gritty

Generational talent

One of them is traded and we're disappointed with the return.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

A poor bad angle shot by ADA trapped everybody

Staal was infront of the net for reasons

 

[trilobyte]

Yea but he seems even more poised than Hank sometimes

True, which I love. But, I never forget how many times I watched Henrik completely stone the opposition in the same way.
That's why I mention it as seemingly a trait of Rangers goalies. Look at how Raanta adopted a calmer more economical method of playing when he was here, at least that's how I recall him.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

What do you guys predict will end up happening with Shestyorkin/Georgiev situation?

Shestyorkin signs his ELC, with an EAC that he will use at least the first season.

Georgiev will be protected in the expansion draft, Lundqvist retires in 2021 and we go with the Bulgarian-Russian tandem in 2021-22

 

[Rempe73]

What do you guys predict will end up happening with Shestyorkin/Georgiev situation?

Shestyorkin, if he comes over, will agree to play in the AHL for half a year to a year. That’s my opinion.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

It's a shame it never worked for 20 other goalies since he joined this organization

Raanta and Talbot were very good under Allaire.

You no doubt have a much better grasp of this than I do, so point taken that maybe it's the successes who stand out in my memory.

Hank will be phased out and those two will compete/split most of the games

 

[Rempe73]

Lmao xD true. I forgot to mention that in my post.

 

[Black Aces]

Keith Jones with actual insight on Geo. Notes his athleticism and how he follows the game. Both points many of here have noted.

Aside from Lundqvist and to a lesser extent Talbot and Raanta, there has not been a goalie who really turned into something under Allaire.

We have Georgiev playing great now, but can he keep it up or is it just a hot streak?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

What do you guys predict will end up happening with Shestyorkin/Georgiev situation?

Shestyorkin will likely play in Hartford next year. There is no guarantee he is an NHL goalie yet. He played well in the KHL but to put things into perspective Nigel Dawes is the 2nd overall points leader this season.

 

[duhmetreE]

Hank retiring hopefully

 

[Rempe73]

I love Hank, but he can’t feel good about stopping the team from doing what they want. Hank has been the face of the franchise for so long, but the reality is that the FO will want to develop their goalies of the future (and they should), and he will be in the way. I would hate to be him. Then again, he’s a beautiful man that makes bank, so maybe I wouldn’t hate it.

 

[trilobyte]

Haha. Gritty would make me hate the org even more, but zero chance I would ever be a Flyers devotee anyway so moot point.

 

[Rempe73]

Exactly

He will get some token front office job. Rangers ambassador to Frolunda

Say what you want, but the Dallas Jumbotron guy, Gritty and the Storm Surge in Carolina make hockey more fun to watch

 

[Mandar]

He joined the organization in 2004, Hank's first season was the following season.

So who are these other 20 goalies that it never worked for?

 

[Rempe73]

Bettman is underrated

 

[Mikos87]

I think the fundamentals are solid. The pucktracking and rebound control stands out for a goalie playing behind such a poor defensive team.

He's also getting conditioned to the weakside man being open for a one timer because of how shitty of a job Pionk, Shatts, Smith et al do when it comes to tying up their man.

The stats belie some of the saves he's made, but I'm not ready to anoint him as the next starter yet. There have been games where the flood gates have opened, and Georgiev has gotten blown up from time to time.

What I'd like to see is how he comes back from giving up a bad goal or two.

That said. I say this with all due respect, he's been better than Lundvist in the back half of the year. Lundqvist isn't the same goalie he used to be on PK. Georgiev has been much better on the PK than Henrik.

Allaire has done a good job, I don't like his taste in goalie picks, never have, but he's turned around a bunch of guys. Ochocinco as well.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Gritty and the meme he’s become is cringey af and I don’t understand why he’s any more fascinating of a mascot than Dallas’s green thing, and so on.
Storm Surge I like though

 

[Rempe73]

So Mika Zibanejad is part of Star Sunday, but he’s not a 1st line center. Got it, NBC.

 

[Dijock94]

If Georgie keeps playing this good it’s his spot to lose.
