Little bit of Varly. It's in French but Varly speaks in English.

TV , i did my best with the translation

Varlamov is ready to meet expectations

The Avalanche has impressed many observers last season, thanks to his goalie Semyon Varlamov. The Russian is currently passing in Boisbriand and he trained on Monday at the Centre d'Excellence Sports Rousseau.

Given last year's success , the expectations are very high in Colorado, particularly with the 26 years old Goaltender .

" We hope to repeat last season's sucess and get another chance in the playoffs. I want another chance and take my team all the way to the final. "

The young veteran, a former first round pick of the Washington Capitals, is full of praise for coach Francois Allaire goalie when it comes to identifying the main reasons for its success in goal for the Avalanche .

" When i started working with Francois , he changed my style. I play differently today. I hope we have the chance to work together for another 10 to 15 years or until the end of my career "

For the first time since he's a member of the Avalanche, Varlamov will begin a season without Jean-Sebastien Giguere at his side.

" We were teammates for three years. He helped me tremendously in my career .Giguere had a lot of experience before coming to Colorado. He's one of the the best professional athlete I've known"

Ugh. I really wish we didn't trade for Berra and that we had another veteran goalie coming in.

If Varly gets injured, Brodeur is coming here.

haha, brodeur is never playing for roy. no way his ego would allow that.

roy would probably waive him after a bad game .

 

[AvsGuy]

I dunno, sentimentality aside, I think Colorado would be a great place for Brodeur to finish his career.

Berra, until proven otherwise, is the worst. Still cannot believe what Joe Sakic will dish a 2nd round pick for.

 

[Ceremony]

I look forward to seeing who we trade McDavid to and what for if we sign Brodeur.

Will continue to be better than Neuvirth and Holtby combined.

This is a Varly thread, and I don't really agree with that notion until we see him play more.

yes poor joke

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Should have kicked him off the team last season...
Lets go Berra!

 

[Flanagan]

Justified or not, I can easily see him being one of the most hated players in the league this season.

 

[Frenchy]

Guys ,

Avoid political talks , HF is not the place for this kind of convo .

thanks

Hopefully He can stay healthy for the season. I would like us to get another back-up because Berra is not ready to be a starter if Varly goes down.

We don't know how Berra is going to play this year. If Berra does falter I assume the plan is for either Pickard or Aittokallio to show that they can step up.

They signed Berra for 3 years for a reason. He's the plan. Roy knows what he's doing and If they saw potential in Berra, let them work their magic.. I mean seriously, Berras has barely played for Avalacnhe so far. He played one game or something. Easy off everyone!

I'm one of the few that believe in giving Berra a clean slate for this season. I'm just saying that if Varly goes down and IF Berra does falter I believe that Roy will give Pickard or Aittokallio a chance to step up and show their stuff.

Varlamov's potential impact on this team needs to be more appreciated. He will have had lots of recovery time and should be healthy to start the season. When he was on he could virtually dominate play.
