#173 - TURN Sports: Chatting all things Sports including Oilers and Blue Jays talk with Ewan Manning!

“I think Igor Shesterskin has been the difference in that series… the way he has just helped the Rangers win a couple of games, a couple of games I didn’t think they should have won, he’s been huge… goaltenders are the difference in the playoffs and Igor has been exactly that.” - Ewan Manning
