Meanwhile, the Rangers defeated the Detroit Red Wings last night by a score of 4-1. Shesterkin had himself a solid outing and overall, he was a huge headache for Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde. In fact, Shesterkin was so good that Lalonde couldn't help but praise him after the game.
While Shesterkin is special, the Rangers will need to go out and win a Stanley Cup if they really want that salary to be justified. Until then, some fans will continue to believe that $11 million is entirely too steep, especially if you don't have any forwards or D-men making that kind of dough.
