SHESTY WITH THE HEROICS
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“Bench Mika”
igor is fucking nails in OT
Insert sweaty Jordan Peele gif.
damn zibby violated upl there
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANK YOU MIKA
Yesterday I didn’t have covid
Today I have covid.
Coincidence that the rangers won? I think not.
Time to lick some doorknobs
All Sabres Rangers games in recent memory have been so exciting
igor is awake 👁️🧱
Igor 🤝 Santa
Delivering
Listen, I love Trouba
But Kreider is my true captain.
IGOR SHESTERKIN HAS SAVED CHRISTMAS
Quick stans when Igor makes 3 game saving saves 😡😡😡
Good to see Krieds back in action.
2nd half Mika has always been a *monster.*
He’s waking up..
What an unreal sequence by Igor before that Mika wizardry
⭐ Kreids
⭐⭐ Mika
⭐⭐⭐ Mittelstadt
Igor should’ve gotten a star 🙁
OH. MY. MIKA.
That was the most infuriatingly sloppy overtime until they scored. Being a Ranger fan is great.
Undefeated in the 5 minute overtime.
Undefeated in the third jerseys.
Undefeated in Mika/Kreider bromance.
I love this team.
people keep asking if im back and i haven’t really had an answer. but now, yeah, im thinkin im back.
-igor shesterkin.
LETS GO BOYS 🍺🍺 NO TURTLES IN OT
Igor gets the 0th Star of the game, the most impressive of the stars.
Mika 2 Kreids for the GWG is as splendid of a Christmas present as I could have ever asked for!
LET’S FUCKING GO, BOYS!
AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU FILTHY ANIMALS 🤌❤️🤌
Igor Shesterkin is still good, in apparently surprising news.
I crush at weddings.
LGR!
That would’ve been a horrible loss but the big boys stepped up when they needed to. Trocheck, Mika, Fox, Kreider. Oh and Igor is fucking back
Igor said fuck you Buffalo in that OT period
LET’S GO CHRIS KRINGLE!!!!!! Great saves by Igor in OT, sloppy at points, but I’ll take that win. Merry Christmas everyone!
![gif](giphy|4q0WNCNZUlxNC)
ooooh I needed that
Did Christopher James tie Gravey tonight?! 👀
Honestly felt kind of inevitable they were gonna win this game as soon as OT started.
Who wants to Kreid or Die in the Christopher James bed with the Thirds on 🥵🛌
Igor bailed out Trocheck more than a couple times tonight. Those turnovers are getting pretty rough
Don’t look now but Igor has got his groove back. Best in the league by points percentage at the holiday break. Who would’ve thunk it?
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to y’all.
TLDR: We don’t like this win
MERRY CHRIS-MAS LFGR
#good teams find ways to win bad games
Hashtag MeatMarket
Im happy where we are heading into the holiday all good vibes but just gotta clean up our play when we have a lead were giving up a lot of em. LGR Merry Xmas ranger nation
Man I love this team, but can they just put a game out reach early for once lol
Igor heard y’all taking shit
We got so lucky and Igor 100% bailed us out this game. Not thrilled the way we played against subpar teams back to back at home.
