NHLI via Getty ImagesI-GOR, I-GOR, I-GOR. The Rangers netminder heard his name being chanted throughout Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, leading the Blueshirts to a 4-1 victory over the Flyers. Some are calling him the best or one of the best goalies in the NHL right now and it’s hard to argue. Shesterkin has been the number one reason this Rangers team is right there toward the top of the Eastern Conference, tied for third place.
To discuss the red-hot Rangers, we bring you a new episode of the “Up In The Blue Seats” podcast with Ron Duguay and Mollie Walker. The Post’s Larry Brooks drops by in his weekly spot as well as MSG Network’s Bill Pidto.
Up In The Blue Seats Podcast with Ron, Mollie & Jake:
- REUNION: Me and Mollie reunited in person at the game Wednesday night at MSG after not seeing each other in nearly two years. Also, we will be sharing video clips of the podcast for the first time and we discuss my golden blazer.
- I-GOR, I-GOR: Chants of “I-GOR” were coming down at MSG on Wednesday as Shesterkin continues to carry the Rangers with his dominant goaltending. They discuss his postgame quotes saying he reserved himself to tears.
- PANARIN-MARCHAND: We get into the Artemi Panarin-Brad Marchand saga, throwing the glove and the $5,000 fine. The NHL needs to get things right with their fines…throwing a glove is not equal to hurting someone intentionally. Ron believes teams should police themselves.
