Coach of the year statement.We would not lose a game if only the rest of the team gave the same level of effort he has
It definitely seems like he's taken that next step to becoming elite. Would love to see him steal a series or otherwise completely shutdown an opponent this postseason.I remember when many on the main forum laughed at us for paying Vasy the big bucks.
Hell a few folks on this board griped.
With all of the injuries at the moment, we only make it to the playoffs on the back of The Big Cat.
Remember that as we move forward, he's good enough to steal a Championship.
It's not as if people here unanimously liked it either. Big goalie contracts are always a risk, there's no doubt about that. And when Vasi signed that contract I don't think he had done enough to warrant it. But ever since we returned to play with the Covid Cup, Vasi has been stellar. That to me is what a 9.5 million goalie should look like.I remember when many on the main forum laughed at us for paying Vasy the big bucks.

I think he may have "clinched" league lead in wins last night with Colorado losing.
Guy is just always bailing us outI'm pretty sure you're right. You can make a case that Hedman fell off too hard to win the Norris but Vasilevskiy ought to have the Vezina on lock. He's allowed like 7 bad goals all year? And they all usually came in the same games and he was just off that night. Now imagine his GAA and save % if he didn't have any stinkers.
I was not happy with that $9.5 million AAV but I'll gladly shovel shit out of the cat box for being wrong about it
