Rangers Goalie’s Icons
Rangers goalies sitting on the bench towards the end of a playoff game in full gear has become iconic for me. They carry their team the entire game and then get pulled after allowing a goal or two only to see their team lose. Lundqvist started the tradition of being the first man heading to the lockers but it seems Igor doesn’t do that yet.
Facial Tics and Quirks
Shesty just has a lot of facial tics during games. On a similar note, Stuart Skinner always looks like he’s tweaking when they do a close-up on his mask during a game. Goalies make weird faces to adjust the mask. Whether it’s because of an itch, or to change how sweat flows, or just because it feels right to move it around a bit. It becomes a habit.
Mask Movements and Observations
It’s just him stretching his faux human skin. I’ve definitely noticed that. He can turn his head completely left to right without his mask even moving. I have been noticing this all series! He scrunches his face up/raises his shoulders and looks hilarious doing it. Mika has him in the sunken place.
