Pretty hard to have a better debut than he did there. Great start by the youngster, hope he gets a fair few starts this season

Kid is legit. Crazy athletic and I love his demeanor in net.

Holtby good as gone?

If Caps are smart.

Ok, am I the only one who thinks that Samsonov looks like Neil Young? I keep saying this, but it's just not taking off.

It's the eyes. Most people here are probably too young though.

he does!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Definitely helps to have a powerhouse in front of him to help him get those Ws.

 

[Ulysses31]

give him the start vs the sharks! (hes in my fantasy pool)

He was lights out last night.

 

[TheFountainhead]

In terms of his physical skill set, Ilya is about as gifted as they come. Great size, great athleticism, extremely flexible and explosive laterally. He quite literally lacks nothing in that dept. Once his technique catches us to what he presents physically, he’ll be as good a goalie as there is in the league, I truly believe that.

[Caser]

Stopped 23 shots to get his first ever NHL shutout win.
