Video: An Instagram Goal
from Christian Arnold of the New York Post,
Steve Valiquette wasn’t thrilled with the perceived disrespect that Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin had gotten on a first period breakaway during the Blueshirts’ 5-1 loss to the Devils.
New Jersey star Jack Hughes tried to use a one-handed breakaway move on Shesterkin, which the Rangers starter turned away with his left blocker, and Valiquette felt the move was an attempt to show up the goalie.
“I don’t like that because Hughes set out to embarrass Shesterkin there by slowing down and going to one hand,” Valiquette said.
The former Ranger turned NHL analyst later called the attempt “more Instagram hockey than intense hockey.”
