Congrats Big Cat!

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

its absolutely wild that he has been the best goalie in the league overall the past 5-7 years, has now reached the 300 win milestone, and is still not even halfway to Brodeur's win record.

just shows you how much the game has changed as far as #1 goalies playing ~70 games/year.

congrats to Vas!

Definitely the most impressive individual accomplishment rendered on tonight November 14th 2024.

300 wins and 1000 points on the same night in the league. Pretty crazy

Definitely the most impressive individual accomplishment rendered on tonight November 14th 2024.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's a slight on someone in orange and blue?

Really impressive record to beat , vasy is a beast

Goalies are hard to predict, but he's been as consistent as they come.

In my opinion he's a lock for 450 wins, with a very good chance he cracks 500 career wins. It honestly just depends on his longevity.

He only turned 30 on July 25th . He plays another 10 years he may get another 300+ wins

Easier said than done. Tampa will decline soon and unless he gets traded to another contender, his average will drop off a cliff.

The game is way too fast paced, it's more likely he plays until he's 35/36 averaging 30 wins a season, than playing until he's 40.

The two oldest goaltenders at the moment are MAF and Quick. Quick is 38 and he's been serving a back up role the past 4 seasons. MAF is clearly a back up this season, and he's been splitting starts the past 7 seasons.

300+ wins IMO is out of reach, 200 is possible, 450 is very likely, 400 is a lock. The days are gone where goalies play until their 40's, the game is far too fast paced now.

Kind of annoying that the NHL doesn’t publish goalies’ OT/SO records so we can know how this compares to the pre-OT era.

Shesterking beats this in 5 years?

Jaden Schwartz scored his 200th goal, show some respect

Meaningless "achievement" for Vasilevskiy.

Guy is great
Wish i could cheer for him!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Kind of surprising that he’s the fastest given all the great names the league has seen. Congrats Vas!

Luckily he plays in the same division as Montreal. That should help compensate for any drop off.

Oh, look at this little troll. Isn’t he adorable? Tampa will decline just like any other team. That’s normal. Is it impossible for Vasi to reach Brodeur’s record? Of course, not. I’m saying it’s easier said than done because it will progressively become harder.
