Rangers cannot be afraid to play Igor Shesterkin from behind

To make back-to-back starts for NHL goalkeepers is the equivalent to record complete games for Major League start jugs: a long time ago and forgotten, except in ballads of fame.

On Friday I had suggested in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that Igor Shesterkin, who started four times in his NHL career on consecutive days with a 4: 0/2.25/.933-slash line in his second game with the rangers in Columbus and on Sunday against the Oiler against the garden.

If not this weekend, when? is the question I asked. It still stands. If you have an advantage that you appreciate as the most valuable in the world, and this is the most important season of the year, should you not drive it so reasonably?

Ah, but there is the friction, buddy. The definition of a man of, for example, reasonable, for example, is the definition of a person, for example reasonable. At least when it comes to goalkeeper trotation in the league.
