“That was a lot of fun, but to be honest, someone on the blue line, he screened me a little bit when I make the shot and I didn’t see the puck land, so I didn’t know can I celebrate or not,”, Tyler Yaremchuk and former NHL goaltender Carter Hutton take part in a round of “Fill in the _____” and discuss Shesterkin’s goal against the Lightning. : He sees his opportunity and makes the most of it.
This goalie goal by Shesterkin was “_____. ”: “Squeaky. ” Just get it in there, drop to one knee, right? Shesterkin’s about to run into his defenseman, he’s about to play the puck, there’s just so much going on there.
He’s such a good puck handler, and he’s gone for it before. I was exhilarated just watching this, it was great to see.
Then hearing the numbers, we pulled it up how many goalies have scored over time. I hope some listeners stop asking me if I’ve ever scored, because there’s only been 18 NHL goalies to do it over time. So it’s pretty impressive for Shesterkin. And for the Rangers, it’s a big win at home against Tampa, combined with Shesterkin’s goal happening. It’s great to see.
