Yeah, when he ran out of steam toward the end of last season people seemed to just kinda forget how good he was. He's also loads of fun to watch.

Respect to this guy. What a f***ing beast!

Toronto had almost 50 shots and he laughed at every single one of them. Calling it right now, Tampa is winning the Cup. That team is stacked.

 

[Team Cozens]

Your vezina winner. What a beast.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That is one of the best saves I have ever seen. He isn't human really.

 

[La Masse]

His athletic ability is insane. I hope he doesnt play like this next time lol

 

[Paris in Flames]

Going into tonight I thought he was one of the best goalies in hockey. Now I know he probably is the best.

Tampa had no right to be in that game at certain points. So...uhh...God help us all when he and they play well in unison.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

What is this black magic?!

 

[VoluntaryDom]

if vasilevskiy can play at his start of 17-18 form for a full year ill accept him as a great goalie. so far this year its been a mixed bag and it was a train wreck down the stretch of last year. but tonight was an indication of better things to come.

Haven't seen a goalie steal their team a win like that in a long time. Vasilevskiy survived 21 shots in a 10 minute span to start the 2nd period and turned away close to 50 shots, most of which were very high danger from one of the best offenses in the league. Got lucky with about five posts but his athletic ability is something no goalie in this league can match.

Interesting that a lot of Tampa fans didn't want him to start tonight.

Well, we went something like 12-2 with the other goalie, who was a tire fire for 6-8 of those games.

I would have been fine with sitting him, even if it meant losing. I'm mainly concerned about keeping him healthy for the playoffs.

Imagine the team effort of the recent COL game + Vasy. Consult your physician if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours.

 

[DirtDiver]

Loved this save. I could not believe that he was able to stop that puck.

Very little to do with us not wanting him playing, more like he's coming back from a broken foot 2 full weeks earlier than the most athletic individuals in the world do... 4 weeks is the literal earliest people can come back from that injury, and his FIRST game back is against #2 in the league?

Yea, I'd have been fine with benching him for 1 game to let him get back into the groove.

Naturally he had to prove all of us wrong and come back with what is quite literally a candidate for save of the decade

 

[DistantThunderRep]

He's alright. Over rated. Probably will lose him due to Tampa's #Capageddon. Andersen and Gibson are better.

 

[snipes]

Unreal

 

[Revelation]

At least he's been exposed as a liar

Andrei Vasilevskiy says it’s hard to stop an Alex Ovechkin shot because ‘I’m not the octopus’

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Somethings always “of the year” when it involves the leafs so of course.

But VASILEVSKY is elite

Reminded me of this.

 

[DFC]

That probably won't even be the best save he makes in the next week.

 

[Big Cactus]

He was incredible tonight. I haven’t seen a goalie steal a game like that in a while.

 

[voyageur]

Best save I have seen in awhile.
