Post-Game Talk: The Powerhut at Flyers | 12:30 | NBC

[Leonardo87]

Thought they played ok, but could of easily tackled on more goals. Flyers did not even care and did not show up, so did not make it too hard for them.

That's what I've been saying, the KHL isnt the same as the NHL and Shestyorkin hasnt proven anything in North America yet. He may need a couple years in Hartford before he is ready if he ever is.

Except KHL is a better league than AHL.

 

[eco's bones]

Why are some people so sure that Gyorg is just a placeholder for Shestyorkin? Reminds me an awful lot of when Quick started playing well for LA and people still insisted that Bernier was “the guy” moving forward

I really think we have two great young goalies but I also think Georgiev has made the best of his opportunities and is going to have an edge. He's got his adjustments to North America out of the way and he knows exactly what the team is about and has shown he can steal games and face a lot of rubber. He's not always been consistent for stretches though. Sometimes he has a great game and the next one is alright but alright doesn't work with this group. He has been our best goalie since the deadline.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Except KHL is a better league than AHL.

Different rink, different style of play and furthermore he hasnt been the starter on his team yet. There are a lot of unknowns, I'd bet on Georgiev right now before him.

 

[NYRKING30]

Geo is flat out awesome. Enough said. I think i hang onto him unless something presents itself where it is hard to say no. At the very least he's already proven himself a very good and very capable backup goalie.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Great win! f*** Philly!

I think there’s just a style adjustment that is often needed between leagues. Samsonov also came over and started in the AHL and sucked at first. He also had quite good KHL numbers. He’s doing better now but there’s definitely an adjustment for most players one way or another

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I like that Brett Howden kid.

Howden seems really strong down low and looks like he could form strong chemistry with Strome if he hasn’t already.

Also Ryan Strome killing it with New York R, that trade is looking like a smart steal for Gorton.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Geo is going to get traded or possibly picked in expansion.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Buchnevich is fine

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

“Quick is gonna get traded eventually, we already have Bernier”

I don't think Old man Hank is retiring soon.

Stop it...they arent trading him and wont have to worry about losing him. Hanks contract is over before the expansion draft.

Agree but he'll probably need couple months in the A, not 2 seasons.

I don't think Hank is going anywhere.

I'd also caution anyone on thinking that this is going to be the norm for him. He's been good of late, but
he's had plenty of stinkers this year.

Maybe, but I also don’t see him ending his career with us as a backup, making significantly less than he does now. And I don’t see him moving to another city — except as a rental after the last trade deadline of his career.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

He won’t have a contract so he won’t need protection.

SKA is one of 9 KHL teams that plays on a smaller rink

 

[Kovalev27]

Shesterkin has a lot to prove before we even think about trading Georgie Boy

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Look up Vinni Letierri’s Instagram for the greatest video of ADA giving a presidential wave on his way aboard the plane lol

I’m offended

Edit: orange hockey man bad

Well I think the worry is Shesty not wanting to go to the AHL but hopefully that won't be a big issue if he needs to spend some time there

Georgiev? Yeah for some reason I still don't quite see "consistent NHL starter" in him but it can be hard to tell with the defense the Rangers have...sometimes he plays better than Lundqvist, sometimes he has some pretty bad games, but regardless seems like they should hold onto him as long as they can

 

[Harbour Dog]

I missed the game this morning. Was it good enough to watch the entire recorded game, or should I just watch the extended highlights?

 

[Harbour Dog]

And does TSN have it right that Smith has 4 minors and an assist!?

e - and still had 14:22 of TOI!? That's nuts.
