New Yorkers love Igor Shesterkin but I'm not sure how much the Russian stopper loves The Big Apple. One way we'll find out is when the Blueshirt Brass low-ball him in contract negotiations. If Shesty REALLY loves Gotham he'll accept for the good of his team. Stan Fischler US Hall Of Fame MSG There's a misapprehension out there in Rangerville that Iggy is the greatest crease savior since Henrik (Call Me Hank) Lundqvist. He is not. Here are some stats that Generalissimo Drury may toss at His Lordship Shesty that might cause a bit of indigestion for the goalkeeper's agent. Of the top goalie stats GAA, SV%, Wins, Shutouts, Czar Igor didn't even rank in the Top Five in any category other than wins. He ranked third along with two other stoppers. As my ever-reliable statman Solon Mihas eagerly notes. "Igor is not even in the top Ten for GAA or Save Percentage. And that speaks volumes." More than "volumes" if Drury – or the MSG accountant – reads this.
