GREENBURGH, N.Y. – Alexandar Georgiev has visited the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, but he has never been to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Georgiev will be a short walk away from his own sport's Hall on Saturday when he starts in goal for the Rangers against the Maple Leafs.
The last time Georgiev saw the Leafs ... well, he saw too much of them and still put together a Hall of Fame-worthy performance.
Toronto fired 56 shots at Georgiev on his 23rd birthday on Feb. 10. Georgiev stopped 55 of them in a 4-1 victory at Madison Square Garden that still stands as one of the highlights of this Rangers season.
