Igor Shesterkin lets in some early goals and can’t right the ship in a 5-1 blowout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
It’s time to face facts: Igor is having a very average season. Why there’s hope for a turnaround.
After an incredible opening 10 minutes, why did the Rangers deflate and collapse for the rest of the game?
More needed from Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider.
Episode 986. Intro song is “Leave the Lights On” by Passafire.

I only could watch the first 10 minutes and when I turned off I assumed it would be a convincing W. Igor needs to be more consistent. They should probably let Quick start more games to lighten the load.
It’s been time to panic….Igor, Defense and power play sucks!!
3 coaches in the last 5 years….team lacks character!! This is on the players!! The captain needs to stop
Concentrating on his artwork And needs to Concentrate on DEFENSE!!!!!
I turned it off after they gave up the first one. This team is pathetic. Absolutely brutal. They’ve had 40+ games to figure it out. Time for some huge trades.
By the way Igor sucked last year too. This is two in a row. Is he really the answer in net? No shot. Kakko will be a top 6 goal scorer in the league before he’ll be the goalie we thought he was
D is really bad right now. Igor can't stop a beach ball, either. The season is going downhill fast. Never thought I would say this, but do we need to get a goalie at the trade deadline?
Of all years, Igor has to be off his game.
Last night was a brutal loss in so many ways. The 1st 10 minutes were solid, and then they stopped playing. How do you not go hard for a full 60 minutes vs. the defending Cup champs? They're the measuring stick that you want to compare yourself to. Igor has been trash, and the D is underperforming. Trouba, Miller pair leads the way on the unacceptable play list.
Agree, Shersotkin is so inconsistent…. BAd news…. You are right on….
FOX AND MILLER HAVE ALSO BEEN HORRIBLE ON DEFENCE
Looking at how many videos you have this season that have something about "being concerned about Igor" in them, might mean it's time to be concerned
Igor? Are you forgetting his last performance?… wake up. It’s Mika and Kreider! The two boyfriends are terrible 5vs5 there’s a reason Chris isn’t the captain and a reason Ottawa traded away Zibby. They aren’t top 3 players on any team in the NHL. Kreider is the most overrated Ranger in team history. The stats are inflated and take away his PPPs his an absolute duster.
Time for Mika and Kreider to pick it up? No… it’s time for them to pack it up.
10-10-1 in past 21 games……… we’ve been average for awhile and only 9 pts from looking outside of playoffs ….let’s hope we go on a hot streak again…. Two big back to backs coming up this weekend for sure….LGR!
Man, the first 10 minutes were great and then it just…stopped. Really scary. Reminds me of a few years ago where it seemed like whenever they get scored against they tense up and get self-concious. The mistakes start stacking up like they forget how to play hockey. The crap passing decions are infuriating, and the constant rushes against turn your stomach into knots. It's also really weird where they can't seem to figure out a goalie. Sure there is luck with weird bounces but it can feel like a curse. It's insane that in the majority of the games they've lost this season they've been run over.
But, hey that set powerplay was rad.
This team won’t win anything this year unless drury can make some changes on this roster otherwise nothing with change until the big contract guys are gone it could be a tough couple of years. Rangers fans we arent any good
Yes panic
Here's another problem: Quick is 1-3-1 in his last five starts. When he was on his game, the Rangers were basically unbeatable, despite Shesterkin's average numbers.
I dont think we're gonna win the cup this year. It will either goto Vegas of Canucks.
Got two different teams, the team who fights for first overall and the team who fights for first overall pick …
Quick has been way better than Igor this season, not something I thought I'd ever say. Igor's been poor, at best, all season. Few good games sprinkled in here and there.
Need a good shake up and get things going again.
Yes, Igor has not been good from training camp to now. He has had made some good saves but overall he's nothing special this season, so far.
Igor isn't even top 20 in goals against or save %. His numbers this year are worse than last years, and last years were worse than the year before.
