Prospect Info: Igor Shestyorkin Part I

[BBKers]

The Olympics situation might throw a wrench into those plans. We'll see.

It might. But is he really there in terms of a sure shot at making that roster?

I don't know. Hence "we'll see" and "might."

Does anyone else here know if Russia would consider him? PB?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't know. Hence "we'll see" and "might."

Does anyone else here know if Russia would consider him? PB?

Yes, he'd almost certainly make the team.

 

[Irishguy42]

Yes, he'd almost certainly make the team.

Yeah, so the Olympics would definitely be a consideration, in this case.

A question for you guys who have watched Shestyorkin play a lot: Is he a good puck-handling goaltender?

Yes, very good.

If you go to Alex Nunn's twitter right now you'll se a gif of Shestyorkin scoring a goal... as a skater..

Versatility is good.

I'm confused, it says "Shestyorkin" for the goalie. How is he the skater in this situation?

Shestyorkin is like Smith over there.

Shestyorkin is like Smith over there.

I'm not sure that's true, I was born in the Soviet Union and never heard of the surname until Igor.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm confused, it says "Shestyorkin" for the goalie. How is he the skater in this situation?

I think he just switched jerseys with one of the skaters.

He's listed down for 1+2 on the match review, and Prokhorkin is listed in Igor's normal goalie spot as having played in goal.

Was it an exhibition?

I'm upset you don't know when attempting humor.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He has better mitts than like 80% of our roster

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'm upset you don't know when attempting humor.

I should just assume you 100% of the time because you are about 99.9% of the time anyway.

Which games did Shesty end up playing in the playoffs? Did he make any appearances in the finals?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Which games did Shesty end up playing in the playoffs? Did he make any appearances in the finals?

The last two games of the Western Conference Final, and the first two games of the Cup Final. He also got in the third to last game of the Western Conference Final, but didn't play more than I think a minute or two.

was that last game the one he got a lost in?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

was that last game the one he got a lost in?

Yeah, gave up two goals in that game, 2-1 loss.

 

[IamNotADancer]

That goalie =

If anyone wonders if he'll eventually come to the NHL because thats always a worry with people for KHL players, he was asked today on social media by someone about his childhood dream, and his response, translated I might add so it might not be exact, was "Stanley, I want."

Ahhh I believe I almost think daily about how good he already is, and that Allaire hasn't even gotten his fingers on him yet.
It's always nice to hear that he really wants to come here. While I don't want the Lundqvist era to be over, you can't help but feel excited for when Shestyorkin will arrive.
