Compete level and work ethic, without a doubt. But, we've seen that he is an absolute drama queen when he gets touched. I'm not sure about the toughness.
Do not take this to mean that I don't absolutely LOVE having Igor in our net. Just wish he'd grin and bear it sometimes.

That is my biggest complaint about Igor. He is going to injure himself the way he acts after a bump one of these days, the refs are also going to see he cries wolf every time he gets touched and develop a reputation.

I mean by definition, it tough to be a goalie. Does he flop some times? Yes.

lol, dude. I was a goalie for 17 years. You don't do it for long if you don't kinda like the punishment on some level.

Does Igor play soccer in the off-season???
A report on NHL.com says he practiced fully yesterday, but it still out tonight with "minor soreness?"

Honestly... were 9-2-1... is it really that pivotal that we start Shesty if we dont need to?

We shot out to a 3-0 lead on these guys before it fell apart, I doubt that happens again if we jump out to another lead.

Almost happened Tuesday. Game was a post away from being 5-4.

No, not pivotal to start Shesty, but I don't think I'm out of line to feel trepidation over starting one of the other 2.

Totally forgot this point. That makes WAY more sense.
- Tonybere

Yea it is a good point. They aren’t desperate for wins at the moment so keep our pillar in net fresh for the stretch run

Yea but thats more on the defense honestly.

This team doesnt seem to play well when teams start to turn up the heat. They fell apart when the Wild turn it on, they fell apart when the Wings turned it on. Its odd, particularly with the Wings game, because through 2 periods the Wings did absolutely nothing, 13 shots, nothing high quality. Then they come out in the 3rd playing like they got nothing to lose and the Rangers came out very casual and got burned... AND they managed to survive that 5 on 3 for a minute. I put it more on the players then the goalie.

But that brings up another point... were taking WAYYYYYYYY too many penalties.

The call on Cuylle was bullpoop. Wheeler, eh he's to slow to keep up and earned those. Miller's was automatic.

Read a history book bro

that Ryan Reaves contract with Toronto is already a disaster

Hes too quick even for himself, thats why he took those 2 penalties in the first period.

I dont think theres anyone better in the league than Kreider. There may not be anyone better in the history of the sport at what he does.

He's been on like 5 teams now and I still can't figure out what kind of mental gymnastics GM's need to do to think that he brings one iota of value to their lineup. He isn't worth the paper his contract is printed on.

I didn't remember what his penalty was. I didn't get home to start watching the game until after 10pm and kept nodding off, waking up, rewinding and trying to catch up,... repeat...

that was Buchnevich's only goal this season

he's had slow start, he'll pick it up

Miller got hit with a delay of game penalty after a really soft cross checking penalty on Goodrow.
