Athletistic/Hockey. “New York Rangers” won a sensational victory in a series of seven games with “Carolina”, beating the “Hurricanes” in a decisive confrontation (6:2).

The first star of the game was Russian Blueshirts goalie Igor Shesterkin, who saved 37 of 39 shots.

Recall that in the current Stanley Cup, the goalkeeper scored 8 wins, reflecting 92.8% of shots.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Shesterkin’s club will play against Tampa.

Strangers on social media praised Shesterkin for his brilliant play in Game 7 of the series with Carolina.

@RyanHenkel_:

– “Carolina” went badly wrong in this series, but first of all it is worth noting the contribution to the overall victory of “Rangers”, which was made by Igor Shesterkin. He’s the main reason the Keynes haven’t been able to do so well.

@PanarinRBW:

– Shesterkin is in his first full season as Rangers’ primary goalkeeper – and he’s already leading the team to the Conference Finals. How lucky we are to have him!

@HockeyStatMiner:

– Despite the fact that all of Rangers’ wins in this series have been devastating, it was Shesterkin who laid the foundation for them. He stopped almost everything that flew into his door.

@that_russell:

– Watching Igor Shesterkin is a true religious experience.

@harmonica_bob:

– Shesterkin is better than three goalkeepers, “Carolina” combined. Not everyone is even close to him in terms of level, and the only reason Andersen showed such stats in the regular season was because the Keynes were excellent in defense.

@cpsmith594:

– Igor is the most valuable hockey player in the entire league, and this is not even discussed.

@nyrpeak:

– Today, Shesterkin was so bored in the first half that he even lay down to take a nap.

@FREExIHS:

– Congratulations to the Rangers for a good series: quality work before the deadline and Shesterkin, who turned into a real wall, gave them the advantage they needed so badly before the playoffs.

@mickey8rangers:

– In my opinion, it was Igor who became the main star of this series.

@_BigSteve89:

– I love Shesterkin! How he trolled the Carolina troll after the game!

@GardenFaithful:

– Igor Shesterkin is a hockey god. And it’s ours.

@Aguilar_NYY:

Igor is my hero!

@DArm91:

– Vasilevsky is still the best goalkeeper in the world, but Shesterkin is already knocking on his door.

Ecem leaves:
– My God, what did he do today!

Kakko4:
– Lord Jesus! Yes, he is the best of all time!

Kirk Albuquerque:
– God bless you, Igor!

Coucou4Kakko:
– Igor is really unreal!

Charly Conway:
– Shesterkin shone again, leading us to victory.

Synergy27:
– Elite Guardian.

Hockey player99:
– Once again released the team.

Brother Mouzon:
– His attitude in such matches is amazing.

Mike14:
– The magic worked again.

Kreider the beast:
– I love you Igor!

fatal dog:
– Shesterkin was the best of all ice hockey players that night. Once again. He brilliantly spent the whole series against the “Carolina”.

Rangersfan4life90:
– Saving the team in the most important matches is in Igor’s blood.

Larrybiv:
– A “Carolina” in this fight was the support of the public, and we have – Six!

Archanfelnsx:
– The presence of this guy in the composition gives us a chance in absolutely any series.

WojtekWolski86:
– Igor was loaded to the maximum. Obviously, the Hurricanes’ tactic of throwing shots from absolutely any position didn’t work. Due to almost 50 easy attempts by Staal in each game, they failed to win the series.

fatal dog:
– Shesterkin is second to none. In the next round, Andrei Vasilevsky himself will be our opponent. But, if Igor manages to show his best hockey there, then at the level of goalkeepers in the confrontation with Tampa, I think we will still have a draw. So, better than the Lightning, we just have to perform our outfield players.

BarmyDevonian:
– Six is ​​absolutely inimitable in the playoffs.

SuorinGod:
And yet he is only 26 years old!

Jkman1494:
– Proved once again he knows how to win Stanley Cup games.

Jereje:
– Well, who there, after concluding the contract with him, said that we overpaid him?

Cpzd87:
– Complaining about the money he earns – this is perhaps the most absurd thing I have heard in my life.

1m_hidden_here:
– Yes, I remember how some pointed out to him that he hadn’t played enough games in the NHL to get such a contract… You would think that the KHL, where he played before, is a tournament , mirroring the English Fourth Division.

Virtuous madman:
– Repeat right after me guys: “We have Igor Shesterkin, but not the others!” Right now, he’s all we need!

BarmyDevonian:
– I wonder if Shesterkin played well today – is it generally legal? The Keynes had a ton of chances, but he wouldn’t let them do anything.

Allen_Durwood:
– Please guys beat Tampa now. Six deserves to be in the final.

Hawksbill85:
– Our first link started to score, Igor regained the form he showed in the middle of the season … well, lead us to the Lightning!

NewForever2018:
– The haters, meanwhile, can’t seem to stop talking about how weak we really are, even when Six hoists the Stanley Cup over his head. lol.
