Athletistic / Hockey Russian “New York Rangers” goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin spoke about his impressions of New York.

“I really like this city, people. It’s always nice to be in this city, it’s always in some kind of movement, all the people there are in a hurry, working. The city is a bit reminiscent of Moscow .

Peter is a more relaxed town, there is no running. It was the first thing that rushed when I moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and from St. Petersburg to New York, and in contrast, everything was so memorable,” Shesterkin said as quoted by TASS.

Recall that at the end of the current season in the NHL, Igor Shesterkin became the owner of the “Vezina Trophy” – an individual award given to the best goalkeeper in the league. He became the first goaltender in NHL history to win the Vézina by more than 100 points over the closest competitor.

Last season, the New York Rangers reached the Eastern Conference Stanley Cup Finals, where they lost in the series to the Tampa Bay Lightning (2-4).
