Vasi stats are absolutely nuts:
What we are seeing currently isn't even Vasy's final form. Which is scary for all of our opponents lolYeah he's going to go down as a great. With the way he trains and his competitiveness he's not going to fall off on the back-half of his career like Price. Goalies should be peaking in their late 20's/early 30's and lots of goalies play well into the mid 30's. Fleury is 36 this season, Hasek wasn't even a full time goalie until he was 29.
I think his GAA and his Save Percentage got worse last night.
f***ing scrub.
Same at the thousandths place maybe, but if you go to the ten-thousandths place it dropped. He f***ing sucks.Save % stayed the same, GAA increased by 0.01 Don't panic but he's already declining.
All the fault of @VinikToWinItSame at the thousandths place maybe, but if you go to the ten-thousandths place it dropped. He f***ing sucks.
He is the conversation.Has to be in the Vezina conversation right now.
Remember when alot of people thought we should have moved Vasy instead of Ben "made of glass" Bishop.. Pepperidge Farms remembers
Vasy and Fleury are a clear 1A and 1B right now. 0.939 and 0.942 rspectively, and the next goalie with at least 10GP is sitting at 0.926.Has to be in the Vezina conversation right now.
It was a gamble either way really. Went with the young up and comer but it doesn't always work out. Definitely happy with how it turned out! Bishop was a stud too just couldn't stay healthy.

Despite the short offseason, Vasilevskiy has picked up where he left off. He's 18-3-1 in 22 games and is second in the NHL in save percentage (.932), third in GAA (1.90) and is tied for third in shutouts (three) among goalies to play at least 10 games.
"You can give him the first, second and third (place) votes for the Vezina (Trophy)," NBC Sports analyst Brian Boucher said earlier this month of the award given to the best goalie in the NHL. "Just from a pure talent standpoint he is the best goalie in the League. Whether he wins the Vezina or not, nobody matches up to his capabilities in net. No chance. Some people have talent and never live up to the expectations. He's living up to the expectations. We're not clamoring for more. We're wondering if he can get more, but we're not clamoring for it. We see greatness."
A panel of 17 NHL.com writers agree with Boucher and expect Vasilevskiy to win the Vezina Trophy for the second time in three seasons (2018-19). Vasilevskiy finished first with 78 points and got 10 first-place votes to edge Marc-Andre Fleury of the Vegas Golden Knights (73 points; seven first-place votes). Fleury leads the NHL in GAA (1.87) and save percentage (.933), and is tied for first in shutouts with four.
