Prime Varly reminds me of Saros. The recoveries are so quick and precise you rarely see a desperation save. And the way he attacks surprise 1-0 shooters, he gets out beyond the paint so fast and confidently, by the time they realize they have a gift opportunity he’s 6 feet closer and they don’t know where to go.

"Save by Varlamov!" The most spoken words that week. I'm so proud of Varlamov. Hopefully he can stay healthy. He is definitely one of the most fun netminders to watch. Reminds of Patrick Roy back in the day, actually. I can see why the Avs wanted him. Roy is the man, the myth, the legend. Best goaltender, bar none.

Семён сильный вратарь! Его в Вашингтон к землякам на помощь, ото вратари-это Ахилесова пята Кепитталс!

He is so damn inconsistent. Hopefully he can continue this into the playoffs

В этом сезоне все русские вратари играют на хорошем уровне, а Варламов уже не первый год доказывает, что он топ5 в лиге.
