Fucking guy is simply great! The broadcast last night was outright hilarious. The in between periods skit with Pidto wearing the goalie pads trying to do a butterfly had me pissing my pants. I think Valley even asked him if he pulled his groin!! LOL Adding Hank to the broadcast was absolute genius! His takes are spot on, and what's best is that he plays well off Giannone and Valley! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Wrong. More like Lundqvist, Richter, Beezer, Giacomin, etc., even going back to the early days of the franchise. Almost always really good goaltending, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially ones with a long history Yeah, and it also kind of depends on the time period too. An original six franchise like the Leafs probably wishes it had a Giacomin or a Vanbiesbrouck during the 70's and 80's, plus they were garbage during that time anyway. I just meant that throughout Rangers history, goaltending has been the strong suit of the franchise is all. Sure, it's had its great offensive players that we know of, but they're really not known for that as a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 To be fair, Dunham was actually really good when they first got him, and almost got a not so great Rangers team to the playoffs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only 1 season in the last 40 years where they didn't have a gut with 300+ wins in net.

Almost always really good goaltending, We've even had some really good backups dating back to Gilles Villamure who I think had at least 20 wins for us in 4 seasons backing up Giacomin.

Technically richter didn’t have 300 wins until the end... which was 5 years after his last season above .500 bieser and richter had some good years, but aren’t at - Lundqvist bailing out the team every night - level. Good rangers but barely top 10 guys among peers. bieser didn’t even have good stats when he won the vezina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunham was an olympian Georgiev made Lundqvist expendable this. Weekes was a great back up and everyone knew hank was going to be good. Blackburn had a freak accident but would have otherwise had a nice career. Dunham was awesome in the beginning. And we give Georgiev shit but there was a time where he was playing pretty damn well and Hank was letting in goals that Georgiev is letting in now. Regardless of Georgiev, Hank was done. In hindsight, yes I let him finish his career here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not advanced stats, it’s real stats in a way you didn’t imagine. For me, he’s putting stats on shit we already knew. He creates these stats to support “the eye test”, essentially. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh.. its just a personal opinion but I feel like he tries too hard and 90% of the time those stats are so random. No Al Trautwig though so its all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) I like Vally's postgame tweet with the chart showing the chance breakdown of high, medium, and low chances with xG so we understand how much Igor stole each game by.

Sod16 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Everybody had a good goalie up until expansion as only the top six goalies in the game got in the NHL. HOFers Rayner and Worsley were fine goalies for NYR from the late forties through early sixties. Rayner was much admired for developing goalie technique and would be better known if his career wasn't shortened due to a knee injury. Late Richter until early Hank, a period that corresponded with seven years out of the playoffs, was not generally a good time for Ranger goaltending.
