If he was "one of the most inconsistent goalies in thr NHL" he wouldn't be top-5 in SV% amongst all starters, period. And any Avs fan would tell you he has been remarkably consistent comparatively to any starter we've had since Varlamov. The only slide he's had this year was when the Avs were icing one of their top-6 forwards and two of their top-4 defensemen. It not hard to put the pieces together. What's Shesterkin's excuse? Talk about inconsistent.
For what we paid , he’s far out paced expectations. I’m happy with what he’s done with no offense. When our all star team comes back, look out.
agreed. Both teams did well in this trade so far.
You are both right.
They're only going to get better as the team gets healthy and goes on a run
Yeah and sadly that minority keeps popping up in here so the thread keeps getting bumped in reply to them.
Makar wasn't even in the area at the time of the assault and that's not speculation either
Thank you, but while I greatly appreciate the kind word, it is overly so, so I must dissent.
Yeah with how much Georgiev struggled as a backup towards the end of his time in NY, I don't see how the Rangers could've gotten more in the trade, and obviously Igor is the clear cut #1 there so they couldn't really keep him and have everyone be happy. I think Georgiev is better than many thought based on his struggles across sporadic starts as a backup but he really needs the consistent work to play up to his capabilities.
4 more games like this and it will be 4 games in a row over 0.900 save percentage for the first time in his career.
From the Rangers POV, both of those trades were going to happen no matter what, regardless of how they have played for their new clubs. Buchnevich was a great player, but the Rangers decided to keep Kreider and that kinda sealed his faith after they drafted Lafreniere. They could not have afforded to keep him. Now value wise that trade was an absolute trainwreck by Drury. The Rangers fans were perplexed and angry about it then, and even more so now as Blais hasn't even been an NHL level player this season.
Gourgeist is too inconsistent for that. I reject your argument.
Excuse me sir, But this is HF. Not some everyone gets a trophy millennial little league game. Someone has to win the trade and someone has to lose the trade.
it aint a win unless someone loses, that unfortunately is the world we live in now and its not jus hockey but life and society as a whole.
To be honest Georgiev would probably struggle on the oilers and most , if not all their goalies do. Their system is trying to score lots of goals with no defensive structure or commitment from forwards or defense. They will never be contenders till they buy in to some sort of system.
