Rangers' Players Congratulate Shesterkin on Winning Vezina

We witnessed just how tight of a team the New York Rangers are in their unlikely run to the Eastern Conference Final. It is clear that Igor Shesterkin was a huge part of why they made it so far into the playoffs and pushed the defending champs to six games.

Following the NHL Awards show where Shesterkin won the Vezina Award for the best goaltender in the league, the Rangers released a video of many of "Shesty's" teammates congratulating him on the award.

Adam Fox, Barclay Goodrow, Chris Kreider, Artemi Panarin, Ryan Reaves, Kevin Rooney, Jacob Trouba, and Mika Zibanejad put together a special message for their netminder.

Some of the highlight quotes include:

"You saved me a couple times from eating a dash this year."

"You're the backbone of our team."

"Best goalie in the world."

"One of many, I'm sure."
