Russian goalkeeperNew York Rangers » Igor Shesterkin made a comment to reporters after defeating “Tampa Bay Lightning (3:2) in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup semi-final series.
– What was the key moment of this match?
– When the score became 3:2, you just had to defend with confidence. Block somewhere, catch the puck somewhere, get it out of the zone. I believed in every guy that went to the site. I believed we could win.
Q: Defender Adam Fox is sitting next to you at the press conference. What do you think of the Rangers’ defensive play in the playoffs?
– Watching Adam play is a pleasure. The way he sees the pitch – I don’t think many defenders can see it the way he does. I trust him when he comes on the court. You immediately feel more relaxed. But in principle, with each player on our team, I feel confident. I believe that each of them can sacrifice themselves, block the puck. Somewhere to play to the detriment of myself, but for the benefit of the team.
– Before the series, you said that Andrei Vasilevsky was the best goalkeeper in the world. But now you’ve beaten him twice…
“At the moment it doesn’t matter. I remain of the opinion that he is the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment. The streak goes up to four wins, so you can’t relax. We have to move forward.
The Rangers lead the East series 2-0 after two games against Tampa. The third game of the confrontation is scheduled for June 5.
