Hey Bolts fans...

Over on the History subforum on the mains, we like to indulge in a little bit of fun now and then in the form of meaningless rankings, comparisons, and debates of historical players. This year we're ranking the top 60 goaltenders of all time, and in we're onto the third round of discussion, where Andrei Vasilevskiy is now up for vote, with a spot in the top 15, and potentially as high as the 10th spot, up for grabs. He's the youngest goalie to come up in the discussion so far, so he's of particular interest IMO.

As an active goalie, you're all familiar enough that you've surely got pretty strong opinions on Vasi, and probably have a lot of insight, stories, anecdotes that us non-Bolts fans may not be aware of. We're trying to get as much info as possible into our discussions, so if anyone here wants to join in on the debate, or if they just want to read up on how we think Vasi compares against greats of the past, feel free to come visit the thread and see what's up. Thanks!

He has more games than the others on the list. Hard to keep him out of the net when JJ is the backup.

Needed more from him tonight on a tough roadie. He’s been good for the most part, maybe he needs a few more nights off like most goalies get

So Vasi was just ranked as the 15th greatest goal tender of all time by the HoH board.
