Three times world champion Alexei Tereshchenko think it’s thanks to the Russian goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin New York Rangers so far in the playoffs. He also explained why other Russians haven’t been so successful this season.
“Shesterkin deserves the title of best goaltender of the season in the NHL, he did a lot to get the Rangers this far in the playoffs,” said Tereshchenko. – Yes, and Igor spent the whole regular season very well. When the goaltender plays with such consistency, the team gains in self-confidence, in sporting arrogance in the good sense of the word, hockey begins for fun.
– What are the chances that Ilya Sorokin will take Vézina in the future?
Much will depend on him and the team. There are many shades that need to be combined.
– By the way, only Shesterkin from the Russians also entered the symbolic NHL team of the season. Why do you think? After all, we have plenty of strikers across the ocean who can safely call themselves stars.
– The problem is that all Russian strikers know and love to play beautiful hockey. But along with this, it is necessary to constantly do the heavy lifting. And there are problems with the game in defense. For example, when you just need to get the puck out of the zone. This applies to both Rangers and Tampa.
Shesterkin became the first player in NHL history to win the Vezina Trophy by over 100 points.
