Yeah I mean his best games this season still aren’t even close to even just his solid games last year.
I can’t stop thinking about the points Vally made in the pregame a few games ago about Igor’s stance being wider and he’s crouching more and it’s impacting literally everything about Igor’s gsme. Idk why him and Benny won’t fix it and get back to basics. He looks off every night, he’s getting beat on clear sight shots with regularity, he’s late on plays he used to be early on. You need your goalie to make big saves on great chances, we watch the other teams goalies do it to us night after night while watching Igor get beat with much too high frequency. I’m a goalie myself so maybe that’s why I’m being hard on him but it’s just incredibly frustrating to see all the talent we have and the potential this team has this season and then see Igor being bad knowing what he’s capable of and watch him this year looking like a shell of himself. It’s so frustrating and as we get closer to the playoffs and he continues to suck I’m getting more and more worried that this is what we’re going to get and if that’s the case we’re out in round one.
I think this has gone way past "concerning" and now we are downright worried. Very warranted, I might add. We all know when our teMA IS UP AGAINST IT. And Shesty hasn't been there. We all expect more, but question.....is that really fair?
We've been spoiled for so long now, that when we are having the goalie issues that we are facing now.......we are all in a state of panic.
I can def see GG's thinking of not burning him out, but jeez that's NOT working.
Some goalies get off playing nearly every game. The BEST of the BEST do. The more work, the better. How many wins did Shesty get last year with 40+ saves?
We give up less shots and more are going in. Puck no-luck is one thing, but time and time again he's been letting in goals that I simply cannot believe they went in.
I'd force feed him 17 of the next 20, get it right or we are cooked. Can't expect to win PO games 5-4, even with this powerhouse offense that has yet to prove such.
