Goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin of Rangers sets his focus for 2025 in just two words.
The New York Rangers are gearing up for the latest news in their season, following several changes in their roster and the appointment of a new coach. The New York Times reports that former Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan has replaced Peter Laviolette as the coach of the New York Rangers. Sullivan, known for his tactical acumen, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the team.
One constant for the Rangers is the exceptional performance of goalie Igor Shesterkin. Last season, Shesterkin won the Vezina Trophy for his impressive play, posting a .935 Save Percentage and winning 36 games. Shesterkin is widely regarded as one of the best goalies in the game when healthy.
The Rangers' ambition for the upcoming news is clear: they have their sights set on the Stanley Cup. Shesterkin himself has expressed this expectation, while center J.T. Miller, now named as the team's captain, has stated his desire for the team to be a tough, in-your-face, aggressive squad that doesn't give opponents an easy night.
The Rangers' roster has seen some changes, with several key players, including Chris Kreider, Jacob Trouba, and K'Andre Miller, departing from the team. This departure has left some questions regarding the team's performance, making the ceiling for the upcoming news uncertain.
Despite these uncertainties, the Rangers' mentality seems to be influenced by their captain, Miller. The team figures to play in his image, with a no-nonsense approach indicated by the shirts they will wear that read, "No B.S."
The Rangers' regular season will begin on October 7 when they host the Penguins. With a new coach, a determined goalie, a gritty captain, and a no-nonsense attitude, the New York Rangers are ready to face the challenges of the upcoming news.
