Well, that was my point, the "lie" wasn't as blatant as you make it seem. Vasilevsky was a very successful starting goalie of the KHL team at age 20. Askarov hasn't been a starting goalie of any men's team until his very recent stretch in the AHL where he has mixed results.
It's a "blatant lie" only if you ignore their careers pre-NHL and the discussion, at this point, was about comparing respective players.
Having said that, sure, Mr. Gnashville obviously does have a narrative that he wanted to make look more impressive than it actually is.
