ThirtyONE Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) 14 minutes ago, CCCP said: so you think Richter was a better goalie than Hank? or Cam Ward? or Corey Crawford? or Matt Murray? they all won the cup. i think in general you could be a better goalie just by having better stats. Winning the cup is a team achievement. But my OP stated that Shesty does not have Hank's longevity and experience, therefore you cant go by records throughout careers. We've watched Hank for 15 years and couple of seasons of Shesty, who do you think is a better goaltender? IMO apart from getting hurt every couple of months, Shesty is a better, more acrobatic and more athletic goalie. Hanks the best goalie to ever play for the Rangers. Like I said, on a game to game basis, I really like what I see from Shesty. He's rock solid and super calm in goal. But you can't discount track record. Track record is everything. It would be absurd to measure a guy who played one game and got a shut out against a 15 year pro who won a vezina and three cups. Know what I mean? The only thing Hank failed to do in his time as a Ranger was win a cup, so in Igor's case, he needs to break a few of Hanks records AND win a cup to be considered the best to ever wear the sweater.

Sod16 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 At a similar point relatively early in their careers, I would rate Hank and Igor the same. Both outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only reason this team sniffed a cup to be honest. He almost willed them to one. We were not a powerhouse at all of a team. We were opportunistic and had the ultimate competitor and brick wall behind us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
