I felt like he was mentally last year. Though, in his career he almost never has horrible games, but he did give up a few too many 3rd period leads. But the team as a whole has been better in this department.

Buch did it to keep his AAV down. He knew if Igor was healthy he would want 8M+

Dolan sucks!!!
Georgiev should get one start between now and mid-November. The back to back games in Alberta two weeks from tonight. Edmonton is a tougher matchup. Back to back games. The Rangers could be tired in Calgary. Maybe Igor plays that game. They can figure it out in two weeks.
Starting on November 13 the Rangers are playing every other night. The schedule in December gets tougher. Three back to back games. First set is home and home. Second set is away and home. Third set is away and away. There is another game in one night later. 3 games in 4 nights. 4 games in 6 night. 6 games in 8 nights. Georgiev will get his opportunities to play.

Legit going from the best in his generation goalie with Hank to Shesty will straight up anger other teams. He was always the prospect that was eventually he will show up and we waited it seems like forever for him to show up, but he has not disappointed.
He needs to roll for 60-65 this season. My hope is that he doesn't get named to the OAR team for the Olympics. Let him rest up. There are more veteran Russian netminders that they could tap. Obviously Vasilevski is going to be the #1, but he easily could be the #2 for them. Probably will be Varlamov based on experience and then there is probably someone in the KHL they will bring to show that they have a top end goalie in their own league. Maybe Bob goes if he keeps playing well.
We're going to need him if they want to get into the postseason.

My gripe from when it was signed was length. I wanted him locked up longer but I understand it takes two... He probably want's his big pay day at 29 years old.... which is looking way ahead but still a concern

Feeling it
Yep, load up on Shesty and ride this as long as you can. Would be great to get off to a very good start considering how tough the schedule gets, as you pointed out

Good news is it's not like the 8 year contract that he'll likely demand and possibly deserve take him to age 42 or whatever.

He's always wincing so it really gets everyone concerned that he's about to break apart lol. Maybe he catches his breath through his eyes and it only looks like he's wincing?
Plus he's had that groin tweak where his head dipped beneath his leg on a push off and actually looked ded and gone through the pearly gates for the rest season only for it to be D2D, that was a good one. Groin issues tend to be hard to get rid of, and a splits-slinky like him would be doubley concerning.

A lot of people have unique mannerisms, it might even be that he wears contacts. I remember a lot of people wondered why Kravtsov was always blinking, but if you look at some pics of him he has glasses so he’s wearing contacts. Maybe the sweat irritates his eyes sometimes. I wear contacts and occasionally when playing I’ll get sweat in my eye and it’ll sting

Good point, I’d actually wear a sweatband under my mask to block it from getting in my eyes when I played goalie back in the day, it’s so painful

He does wear that weird hairband thing too lol so I think my theory might be right!
Regarding what Vally talked about his side to side movement being unqiue.
1) Is this the first season he's doing it?
2) If not, why is Vally just mentioning it this season?
3) If yes, do you think it's something that Allaire realized he had a skill set for and experimented with it?
